What's new in QPix 3.2
Enhancements
- Major improvements in multi-page printing: when printing multi-page TIFF images or PDF documents all pages are now printed and the page range entered in the print dialog is now respected.
- Major speedup of the validation phase when opening PDF documents.
- Increased tolerance to errors coming from TWAIN devices during the capability negotiation phase.
- The qpx_AcqPTPAllFileTypes acquisition option permits downloading of movies and audio clips (in addition to images) from digital cameras when acquiring with the PTP protocol. Mac OS X only.
- The qpx_AcqStoreDeviceSettings and qpx_AcqRestoreDeviceSettings events are sent to the event handler method at appropriate times during an acquisition session, allowing the application to store and restore device settings as a BLOB if the device supports this capability. Currently supported by the Video protocol on Mac OS.
- Improved handling of images with non-uniform resolutions, especially when creating thumbnails and when rotating.
- All QPx_ExportXXX functions now always try to maintain the resolution of the input image.
- Added missing qpx_CmdZoomToFit constant.
- PICT files and 4D pictures containing vector data are now treated as color.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a memory leak in the PDF importer on Mac OS X.
- Fixed page orientation issues in the PDF importer.
- Fixed a cosmetic issue with the scrollbar thumbs on Mac OS X.
- Invalid metadata (such as dpi) are now removed from the Photoshop metadata resource in exported JPEG files. This was causing Photoshop to sometimes display erroneous values.
- The image info dialog would display erroneous values for images that where edited in some way. Fixed.
- Fixed a bug in PDF generation that would corrupt the output file.
- Fixed an array range check error in the acquisition handler when running in compiled mode.
- Trying to create a multi-page TIFF/PDF or to save a transcoded JPEG on the root directory on Windows (C:\) would return error -37 (directory not found).
