Transcript: New in version 2.4

New

• Option to hide all toolbars including menu to maximize the working area. Turn toolbars on/off by using Ctrl+Shift+F11 (ESC also works for turning them on again). Menu: View, Show toolbars.
• Show image and editor Windows beside eachother instead of below eachother, switch between both settings with Ctrl+Shift+F12. Only available in the Pro version. Menu: View, Windows side by side.
• Added an optional image highlighter/ruler which can be turned on/off from menu View, Show highlighter. Only available in the Pro version.
  You can move and resize the highlighted portion with the mouse. Using rightclick you will get a highlighter menu where you can set the default position for the highlighter when loading a new picture and you can also change the Zoom and Brightness of the highlighter.
  The highlighter Zoom can also be changed with Ctrl+Scrollwheel up/down above the highlighter and the highlighter Brightness can also be changed with Ctrl+Shift+Scrollwheel up/down above the highlighter.
• Zoom in/out for images now centers the zoom around the mouse cursor when using the mouse for zooming, or zooms around the center of the visible part of the image when using the zoom keys, menu or toolbar zoom selection.
• Added superscript and subscript buttons to the editor toolbar.
• Add some info in About box of Transcript about the files and libraries that are used by Transcript and their locations, and also some other useful information, copy this if you want to report a problem. The same info is also used for crash reports.
• Change editor background color when editor is in readonly mode.
• Remember separate editor/image window sizes for maximized and normal window state.
• Made a new Transcript program icon, I'm not a great artist so if anyone thinks they can make a better one send me an example and I might consider using that. (Note that it needs to have all the common sizes and you need to allow me to use it ofcourse. If accepted by me you will get a free Pro license.) The idea behind my icon was: the yellow at the top stands for the old document image, the white at the bottom stands for the new document and the arrow is the transcription process.
• Finnish translation of the gui.
• Several new translatable strings added for better detailed messages.
• Changed how we set our program title and version in About and added a specifier when we are BETA or RC.

Bugs fixed

• Improved Windows 7 support, both 32 and 64 bits.
• GhostScript couldn't be found on 64 bits Windows. Secondly only the 32 bits version of GhostScript can be detected by Transcript so even if you are on 64 bits Windows you should install the 32 bits version of GhostScript (which works without problems on 64 bits Windows).
• When a pdf with images was the last file in a folder the next image button did not get enabled when there was more than one image in the pdf.
• When changing languages and the timer was paused, the translation for paused was not updated.
• Saving/restoring of quicktexts only worked when projects were used.
• Fixed first time loading position with dual monitor setup.
• After acquiring an image with a scanner the image reverts back to previous image when changing brightness or other image adjustment.
• Zoom value showing 400 when entering 40 after closing combo. Fixed by always adding custom zoom values to the list of zoom values. On request also added 40% zoom to the predefined values in the zoom combobox.
• Make sure at least part of the editor window is shown when changing from maximized to normal size (unless image window is only shown).
• Clarification: make it clearer that the exception can't allocate DIB handle is in most cases due to not enough free memory. (Crash reports for this exception don't need to be sent to me.)
• Fixed several bugs found during and after the refactoring especially when the advanced setting "Use the same name for each image and its corresponding text file" was set. Also improved the working of this setting and made the settings saved separately for each project.
• With setting EachPhotoApart when loading an image and the edit file was empty or new then it asked to save it.
• Exporting a text file not asking to overwrite when not explicitly specifying an extension!
• Exporting a text file and setting an extension that's not the normal extension for that file type didn't work: the file was saved as rtf.
• Exception when typing a space in an empty document.
• Checks if language file exists, if not gives a warning.
• Renamed the filename of the default English language file from "Default" to the more logical name "English". Also updated the installer to take this change into account when (un)installing.
• Made some changes to the key pressing code thats handling auto correction and auto replacement in hopes that it will fix the bug that sometimes happens but in an unreproducable way. Now when text is selected it will not look if it needs to be autoreplaced. Also added an extra check that will throw an exception when the text to be replaced has non alphanumeric chars.
• Added warning when Edit file is in use by another program instead of showing an exception + added translation string for the warning.
• Removed old translator code from para and tab options.
• Updated the jvcl and jcl code libraries to their latest releases which made code changes necessary in several places, also made it necessary to change to my own language loader because jvcl removed the one I used.
• Updated several links in Transcript and language files.
• Refactored several parts of the code base for maintainability.
• Lots of other minor changes to improve the code.
