New in Help+Manual Translation Assistant 9.1.0 Build 500 (Apr 11, 2023)

  • Insert Link Dialog: New checkbox implemented that indicates whether the link points to the current topic. Ticking the checkbox (if unchecked) changes to the current topic.
  • Insert Table dialog: Checkbox added to tick all border sides of selected cells at once.
  • Save Picture Dialog: The automatic unique file name suggestion (save as “clipXXXX.png”) includes the username and computer name into the suggested file name, if a project is under version control. With version control, it is otherwise very likely to generate identical file names on different computers
  • Publishing tasks: In the Variables tab, import/export buttons for publishing variables have been re-implemented
  • SVG images: Colors defined with an RGBA() color definition are now correctly rendered.
  • Export dialog: The number of recently used skins is now limited to 15. The list was (unintentionally) not limited.
  • Import: Improved memory management when importing large chunks of HTML files
  • HTML Export: If an image contained one or more hotspots, had a caption, a flexible width and was centered on the page and did not use an image style with a border, the HTML written for the image contained one </div> tag too many and was invalid.
  • eWriter Export: The udpated eViewer.exe version 3.4 is included. When creating an .EXE file, the output file is created in the Windows temp folder first, then customized, then copied to the destination, to avoid interference with Dropbox, OneDrive, AV programs interuptions.
  • PDF Export: If the table of figures was printed before topics and the TOF spanned more than 1 page, the TOF entries after the first page did not contain page numbers.
  • PDF Export: Some special characters such as the Ohm symbol (Ω) where rendered with a replacement character in certain cases.
  • DeepL Plugin: Korean and Norwegian added.

New in Help+Manual Translation Assistant 9.0.3 Build 480 (Feb 9, 2023)

  • French User Interface: several bug fixes in the French UI translation.
  • eWriter Viewer 3.3: the udpated eViewer.exe version 3.3 is included for creating eWriter e-books. Note that eWriter Viewer 3.3 is available as a stand-alone installer as well. See below for details.
  • DeepL Plugin: bug fix for protected word lists.
  • Word/DOCX export: second-level keywords from snippets were not correctly indexed.
  • Image Styles: images with rounded corners – if the picture had round corners and no spacing between image and border, the border radius was wrong in PDF export.
  • Insert Picture Toggles: picture selection dialog now offers custom image formats as well.

New in Help+Manual Translation Assistant 9.0.2 Build 472 (Dec 16, 2022)

  • Topic Editor: improved mouse hints for images formatted with an image style, CTRL+A for select all implemented.
  • DeepL Plugin: critical bug fix, the texts < > and & were shortened to their unescaped value (< > &) and therefore lost in the translation process.

New in Help+Manual Translation Assistant 9.0.0 Build 450 (Nov 17, 2022)

  • Topic Editor: if a topic was present when opening the project but has been deleted in the meantime, the editor displays a meaningful error message when selecting this topic.
  • Refresh Project: the currently loaded node was not auto-refreshed, e.g. a selected topic was not updated if it had been changed outside the TA.
  • DeepL Plugin: the tags <embedded-image> and <embedded-object> have been added to the ignore tags. This solves the problem that embedded images were treated as plain text streams.
