Quick ePics Changelog

What's new in Quick ePics 3.5.2.0

Jan 17, 2011
  • Added CopyMeta option. This option copies meta-data in the input images, to the output images. (i.e. Exif, Iptc, Xmp, and Jpeg Comments)
  • Added option to automatically display Exif-data in image captions.

New in Quick ePics 3.5.1.0 (Jan 17, 2011)

  • Added an option for changing the auto-date folder.
  • Corrected a bug that caused the "Advance Mode" of the Output Folder dialog, to be displayed by default. The "Basic Mode" is now displayed by default.
  • Corrected a bug that prevented changing the home-folder. (This problem only occurs when the option is accessed in defaults mode.)
  • Removed Windows-Installer-Loader from the QuickePics setup file. This reduces the setup file size by nearly three mega-bytes. (The Windows-Installer-Loader is required only for Win98, WinNT, and earlier Windows operating systems. Newer operating systems come with Windows-Installer pre-loaded. This change should not impact those still using Win98, WinNT, and earlier systems, because by now these machines should have the Windows installer already loaded. If you have questions, please contact Mission Peak product support.)

New in Quick ePics 3.4.0.2 (Aug 18, 2010)

  • New Select Images for Email Dialog.

New in Quick ePics 3.4.0.1 (Jul 27, 2010)

  • Fixed bug in v3.4.0 that was intermittently cutting off the bottom and right line borders. (This bug only effected the displayed image, it did not effect the actual output image saved to file.)
  • Fixed bug in v3.4.0 that was causing an image error when manually resizing images with borders larger than 10 pixels. (This bug only occurred for images resized with the red-drag-handles.)

New in Quick ePics 3.4.0 (May 13, 2010)

  • New options have been added for Line Borders, Borders, Drop Shadows, and Outer Glow.
  • Batches with thumbnails now execute up to 25% faster.
  • Many help pages have been reorganized.

New in Quick ePics 3.3.9.1 (May 5, 2010)

  • Bug Fix: A change made in v3.3.9, introduced a bug in the file Save dialog. The bug causes the filename textbox to be cleared, whenever the output folder is manually changed. This is obviously very inconvenient, since the output filename must be manually re-entered, before the image can be saved.
  • This is a very important bug fix, and all users are encouraged to upgrade.

New in Quick ePics 3.3.9 (Apr 6, 2010)

  • Added a drive list shortcut to the open-batch and save-file dialogs.
