I have been working the last couple of days purely on bug fixing and to port the code of Phatch fully to Windows as there were many issues. This has improved: - Phatch can now create droplets on Windows (win32 extensions required) - Installed fonts are retrieved from the Windows registry - Image file dialogs are now working correctly - Missing icons are added (including a phatch.ico) and are now displayed in the windows titlebars - Image Inspector was missing a panel - Preview in Image Inspector now displays correctly - (...)
Besides that Phatch now features for all platforms: - fonts can be defined with a nice dropdown autocomplete list - drop down lists with convenient values in all actions - the action masks now ships with some predefined masks (such as torn edges) - right click in the actions dialog box to see the source of an action - View>Droplet nows shows the name of the action box rendered in the logo - Dutch translation is 100% complete As such no new features have been added, but the user experience feels much more polished now. Please read *carefully* the installation instructions first: http://photobatch.wikidot.com/install#toc6 People who have been using Phatch before should clear their font cache (if it exists). Simply delete the file: C:\Documents and Settings\Username\.phatch\fonts I did the Phatch port on a Windows 2000 machine, so I am curious to hear how Phatch works on Windows XP and Vista. I will fix any bug (as far as possible) which is reported quickly in the next couple of days.
