Stani: You'll be happy to hear that it appears (after a quick test) to work on Vista, though I blush to admit I actually have a Python running on that platform.
The font selection is much better than in previous versions - although the names aren't quite the full font names it's pretty easy to tell which one will be used. regards Steve SPE - Stani's Python Editor wrote: > 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).
