VuePrint 6.0 Release Notes
June 26, 1998

  * Bugs fixed in 6.0f:

      * Fixed problem with large directories taking a long time
        to display files in random order.  Added new .ini file
        option ExpandType.  Set it to 0 to make random order work
        like 6.0c and before, set it to 2 to make it work like version
        6.0d, and set it to 1 to make it use a new technique that
        seems to be faster.  The default value is 1.

      * Fixed problem with reading images from zip files that are
        password protected, and no zip password entered.

  * Bugs fixed in 6.0e:

      * Fixed problem with saving and printing thumbnails

      * Fixed problem with images with large, prime dpi settings

  * New features in 6.0d:

      * Added command-line option for wallpaper changer (/wallpaper)

      * Added capability to specify name of wallpaper file

      * Wallpaper size is now controlled by "Auto Scale" and
        "Auto Fit" options (just like the image display size)

      * The brightness setting now has a much broader range, and
        varys from 1% to 9999%

      * Added "Utilities|Configure options" command to non-English
        versions (was already in English version)

  * Bugs fixed in 6.0d:

      * Screen saver now works in 16-bit Edition

      * Fixed problem when clicking on image to zoom

      * Fixed problem with bad TIFF Group-3 2-D encoded files

      * Multi-frame GIF files not displayed by default (need
        to add EnableGIFIO=1 to .ini file to enable this)

      * Fixed problem with reading some two-color .pcx files

      * Wallpaper now works reliably on Windows NT 4.0

      * Random access to lists of files now works better,
        although the second image to be displayed takes longer
        while all the files in the directory are scanned.

      * If password hasn't yet been entered and one of the
        password options is turned on, then the dialog box
        for entering a password is displayed.

  * New features in 6.0c:

      * Added support for reading 768x512 image from Photo-CD
        (.PCD) file.  Note that you can use a graphics import
        filter to read higher resolutions from .PCD files.  This
        is described in the graphics import filter section below.

  * Bugs fixed in 6.0b:

      * Fixed problem in 16-bit Edition with saving images.
        The aspect ratio of the saved images was messed up,
        due to 16-bit integer overflow (Pro/32 Edition works
        fine).

  * Bugs fixed in 6.0a:

      * Fixed problem with Pro/32 Edition on Windows 3.1 with
        Win32s (error message about MSVFW32.DLL).

      * Fixed problem with Auto Scale option.

      * Fixed problem with win32s when ScanPopup option is set.

  * New features in 6.0:

      * Added support for TWAIN scanners and digital cameras
        using the "File|Scan" commands.

      * Added support for controlling movie playback.  This can
        be disabled using the EnableMovieControls=0 .ini parameter.
        Sound controls can be enabled by using the .ini parameter
        EnableSoundControls=1.  Movies and sound files can be
        rapidly previewed by pressing the space bar and backspace
        key, just like images.

      * Added support for image resolution (dots per inch) for
        reading images, writing images, and printing images.  Only
        BMP, JPG, PCX, and TIF images contain image resolution
        information (GIF, TGA, and WMF images don't).

      * Added an option to specify what happens when an image
        is put into the clipboard by another program.  This is
        the "Slideshow|Clipboard event" command.  This can
        be used to automatically print the screen when the
        "Print Screen" key is pressed, or to print the window
        when the "Alt-Print Screen" key is pressed.  It can also
        be used to save the clipboard into an image file, or
        to save the image as wallpaper.

      * Added "Edit|Edit comments..." command to allow adding
        comments to an image.  The image needs to be saved using
        the "File|Save as..." command to put the comments into
        a file.

      * Added support for reading exposure info from Olympus .jpg
        files into Comments window.  Can be displayed by pressing
        the "H" key or using the "Edit|Edit comments..." command.
        Can be turned off by putting EnableAPP12Comment=0 into
        the .ini file.

      * Added Utilities|Configure options... command to allow
        access to all VuePrint options directly.

      * Added option to save a scan as wallpaper, and added save
        wallpaper as an option in slide show events.

      * Added support for saving 24-bit PCX files, and significantly
        increased the speed of saving PCX files.

  * Bug fixes in 6.0:

      * Fixed problem with 4-letter extensions and other
        extensions that didn't fit into the boxes in the
        Utilities|Configure extensions... dialog.

      * Fixed problem with file names in some MIME/base64
        encoded files.

      * Turned off EnableHTMIO option by default.  Some files
        were inadvertantly being recognized as html files.

  * Known problems:

      * When opening multiple files with the file dialog boxes on
        Windows NT 4.0, the maxmimum length of the selected file
        names is 256 bytes.  This is caused by a bug in Windows NT
        4.0 - this error isn't present in the beta versions of NT 4.0,
        and isn't present in Windows 95.  It appears to be fixed
        in Service Pack 3 of NT 4.0.

      * If you're having a problem getting the screen saver to
        start again on the last image it displayed, try putting a
        trailing slash on the file name (i.e. c:\jpeg\ instead of
        c:\jpeg), and turn off the random order flag.

      * If "All files" is selected in the "File|Open..." dialog box,
        and a single file is selected, all files in subdirectories
        are selected along with all files in the current directory.

  * Using graphics import filters included with Microsoft Word

      Microsoft Word 6.0 contains a large number of
      Aldus Graphics Import Filters.  These are 16-bit
      filters that can be used with the 16-bit Edition
      of VuePrint.  Microsoft Word 7.0 contains 32-bit
      filters that can be used with the Pro/32 Edition
      of VuePrint.  Note that these filters are only
      available from Microsoft if you purchase Microsoft
      Word, and are not available from Hamrick Software.
      In addition, filters are also available with a
      number of other programs.

      The 16-bit import filters are stored by Microsoft
      Word 6.0 in the C:\MSAPPS\GRPHFLT directory.  Some
      of these filters include:

        CDRIMP.FLT   - .CDR (Corel Draw)
        EPSIMP.FLT   - .EPS (Encapsulated Postscript)
        PCDIMP.FLT   - .PCD (Kodak Photo-CD)
        PICTIMP.FLT  - .PIC (Macintosh PICT)
        WPGIMP.FLT   - .WPG (WordPerfect Graphics)

      If you wanted to add all of these filters to
      the 16-bit Edition of VuePrint, edit
      c:\windows\vueprint.ini and add the lines:

        FilterFile1=C:\MSAPPS\GRPHFLT\CDRIMP.FLT
        FilterType1=CDR
        FilterFile2=C:\MSAPPS\GRPHFLT\EPSIMP.FLT
        FilterType2=EPS
        FilterFile3=C:\MSAPPS\GRPHFLT\PCDIMP.FLT
        FilterType3=PCD
        FilterFile4=C:\MSAPPS\GRPHFLT\PICTIMP.FLT
        FilterType4=PIC
        FilterFile5=C:\MSAPPS\GRPHFLT\WPGIMP.FLT
        FilterType5=WPG

      You can add up to 10 filters (0 through 9). Make
      sure that the FilterFileN line has the full path
      name to the filter, and that the FilterTypeN line
      has only a three-letter extension (or two or one).

      The 32-bit import filters from Microsoft Word 7.0
      are usually stored in:

        C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Grphflt

      Note that there's a space after the word "Program", a
      space after the word "Common", and a space after the
      word "Microsoft".  You need to use this directory
      instead of "C:\MSAPPS\GRPHFLT" on Windows 95 with Word 7.0.
      The filter file names corresponding to the example
      above are:

        CDRIMP32.FLT
        EPSIMP32.FLT
        PCDIMP32.FLT
        PICTIM32.FLT
        WPGIMP32.FLT

      Some of the filters provided with Microsoft Word duplicate
      the file formats supported natively by VuePrint.  If you
      configure a filter for a supported file format (i.e. GIF),
      VuePrint will try first to read the file with the filter,
      and will then try to read the file with the native code.

      Note that internally an Aldus Version 1 Graphics Import
      Filter converts a file to a windows metafile.  For this
      reason, the file types of configured filters are added
      to the "WMF Files" type in the "File|Open... dialog.

      We hope you find this information useful, but please note
      that the use of Graphics Import Filters with VuePrint
      is unsupported, which means we aren't able to provide
      e-mail technical support for anything related to filters.

  * Menu codes:

      VuePrint can be customized to execute any menu command
      when one of the following happens:

      1) Various kinds of Mouse actions (described in the
         "Utilities|Configure options..." command under
         MouseEvent) such as left and right mouse clickc.

      2) Slideshow events (under Slideshow menu)

      3) Scanning an image (ScanSaveAs option)

      4) Finding an image in the clipboard (ClipboardEvent option)


      The special values for these codes are:

      Print                      1
      Save wallpaper             2
      Save as GIF                3
      Save as BMP                4
      Save as PCX                5
      Save as TGA                6
      Save as JPG                7
      Save as TIF                8
      Stop slideshow             9
      Exit program              10
