Changes in DIcEd v1.2:
|
|
|
|
o Edit Attributes now knows about all the new filetypes and
|
|
auxtypes defined in the January 1989 Filetype Notes.
|
|
|
|
o The menus are prettier. (Separate dimmed-out dividing
|
|
lines appear between groups of items.)
|
|
|
|
o When you Save an icon file window and there are Edit Icon
|
|
windows belonging to it that have not been saved back to
|
|
the main window, a dialog appears and asks if it's okay
|
|
to save the icons back to the main window before saving
|
|
the file.
|
|
|
|
o When you Save an icon file window and there are Edit Icon
|
|
windows belonging to it that have not been saved back to
|
|
the main window, a dialog appears and asks if it's okay
|
|
to save the icons back to the main window before saving
|
|
the file.
|
|
|
|
o If there is no FONTS folder in your SYSTEM folder, DIcEd
|
|
asks for permission to create one. The FONTS folder is
|
|
required for the Font Manager. (DIcEd uses the Font
|
|
Manager even though it doesn't use any fonts other than
|
|
the system font (Shaston 8). But DIcEd's clipboard can
|
|
display pictures, stored in PICT format, and this requires
|
|
the Font Manager to be active.)
|
|
|
|
o No changes have been made to Save As Source yet. Sorry.
|
|
|

|
|
Bug fixes in DIcEd v1.1.1:
|
|
|
|
o Using New (or Apple-N) to create an empty icon file from
|
|
scratch in previous versions _seemed_ to work okay, but
|
|
it resulting in a file that was ignored by the Finder.
|
|
(DIcEd was not storing a $0001 at offset 4 in the file.)
|
|
|
|
o The correct parts of an Edit Icon window are now redrawn
|
|
if color replacement (option-click) or icon repositioning
|
|
(shift-drag) were done while the window was not scrolled
|
|
to the top-left position.
|
|
|
|
o DIcEd no longer reports fatal errors if a toolset returns
|
|
an error when it is shut down. This is not the ideal
|
|
solution, but it should clear up the Fatal Error $0002
|
|
problem many users have been having when using the Show
|
|
Text NDA, v1.2.
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
New features in DIcEd v1.1:
|
|
|
|
o The Edit Attributes filetype window knows about some new
|
|
special filetypes used under Finder 1.2 on System Disk 4.0
|
|
(GS/OS).
|
|
|
|
o The Help and view-text-file windows are 4.7 zillion times
|
|
faster now.
|
|
|
|
o Four sizes of fat pixels are available in Edit Icon windows
|
|
(see View menu).
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Bug fixes in DIcEd v1.1:
|
|
|
|
o Clicking in the icon area of an icon file window while
|
|
the Edit button was disabled (when positioned at icon
|
|
#0, before all the icons in the file) would let you
|
|
edit this nonexistent icon, possibly leading to a crash.
|
|
|
|
o Some users have had DIcEd 1.0 crash while quitting. I
|
|
believe this was because of some buggy code in the TML
|
|
Pascal 1.50A library, and I now bypass that code. If
|
|
you still get crashes, I want to hear about it.
|
|
|
|
o The rectangle around the sample icons will always be
|
|
redrawn properly now.
|
|
|
|
o Bogus redrawing of the fat-pixel images used to happen
|
|
after drawing pixels and releasing the mouse if the window
|
|
was scrolled vertically by a sufficient amount.
|
|
|
|
o The hot spot of the Pencil cursor has been moved down
|
|
and right by one pixel.
|
|
|
|
o The Watch cursor is displayed while printing a text file
|
|
to the printer.
