What's new in VuePrint 8.0
Jul 21, 2009
- New features in 8.0
- Updated for Windows Vista
- 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.
- Use "VuePrint files" instead.
- Using graphics import filters included with Microsoft Word
- Microsoft Word 7.0 and later 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 (as well as several other Microsoft products), and
- are not available from Hamrick Software.
- Microsoft's graphics import filters are usually stored in:
- C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedGrphflt
- If you want to use a different directory for filters,
- add the following to the .ini file:
- FilterDirectory=c:directory
- (Be sure to put the trailing "" at the end.)
- You can control which import filters are used by VuePrint
- by using the "Utilities|Configure extensions..." command.
- Put the file types for the filters you want to use on the
- WMF file, in any position except the first (which needs
- to be .wmf).
- 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.
- If you're having problems with the images read by a
- graphics import filter, try adding the following line
- to the .ini file:
- EnableFastMetafile=0
- 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:
- Various kinds of Mouse actions (described in the
- "Utilities|Configure options..." command under
- MouseEvent) such as left and right mouse clickc.
- Slideshow events (under Slideshow menu)
- Scanning an image (ScanSaveAs option)
- Finding an image in the clipboard (ClipboardEvent option)
