Update Available - Version 8.0.184

Post by jsachs »

An update is available to Version 8.0.184 (22-Dec-2020)

The changes (taken from the update log) are:

Added an eyedropper button to the color picker that lets you toggle its probe on and off. Initially, the button is raised, and the color picker does not take control away from the current transformation dialog box when it starts up. When you depress the eyedropper button, the color picker probe is activated, and clicking on the input or output image sets the color picker color. When you click the eyedropper button again to de-activate the probe, control is restored to the current transformation dialog box, if any. This adds an extra step when you want to select a color by clicking on it, but avoids having control removed from the transformation dialog box every time you open a color picker. If you have multiple color pickers open, activating the probe in one of them automatically de-activates it in the others.

Theme dialog box: fixed problem with wrong color displayed in quick pick unused button background.

Added file extension checks to various commands which save files that must have a specific extension.

Readout Tool changes: If you sample a point in the output image of a transformation currently being edited, when you stop dragging, the readout window snaps back to the upper left corner of the main image area. Subsequent changes to the output image at the sampled location caused by modifying the transformation settings will now cause the readout window to be updated as the output image changes. If no transformation is being edited and you click on an image, updates to that image (by changing one of its upstream transformations) are displayed in the readout tool window. Closing the image the readout tool is monitoring also closes the readout tool. To make it clear which image was sampled, the readout tool now displays the caption of the sampled image.
