Hi Steve,
Thanks for the confirmation. It is indeed good news. Feel free to send
me privately some screenshots. BTW, I just released Phatch 0.1.3 which
is the final version for Ubuntu Hardy.

 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.

  I have been working the last couple of days purely on bug fixing and

  This has improved:
  -Phatchcan 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 aphatch.ico) and are now
  displayed in the windows titlebars
  - Image Inspector was missing a panel
  - Preview in Image Inspector now displays correctly
  - (...)

  Besides thatPhatchnow 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
  - ViewDroplet 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 usingPhatchbefore should clear their font cache
  (if it exists). Simply delete the file:
  C:\Documents and Settings\Username\.phatch\fonts

  I did thePhatchport on a Windows 2000 machine, so I am curious to
  hear howPhatchworks on Windows XP and Vista. I will fix any bug (as
  far as possible) which is reported quickly in the next couple of days.
