There is a bit for everyone: new IPTC tags and EXIF library for image processing, integration of filters with presets for easy handling, new functions and filename encryption script for PascalScript rule, dialog for creating links to all presets, and more.
On the other hand, work on the new versions of Shutter and Hasher has slowed down, but I hope it is just temporarily.

* Added "fix conflicting new names" option to the Options menu;

* Added "none of the above" option to Case rule;
* Fixed few spelling mistakes; |
As some of you already know, there have been some serious problems with the development and support of these tools. I have decided to continue my work, but in order for this to happen - the degree of my involvement and effort is going to change. To find out more, read the following topic: Great and not so great.
As of ReNamer, it is time to release the latest modifications to the general public. No big changes, just few little additions and improvements. For the next versions, I am hoping to address 2 major topics: storage of user files, and usability of filter settings. There have been a lot of discussions about them, but no definate plan as of today. We'll see how it goes.
What's New:
* EXIF_Date tag will treat Exif.Image.DateTime field as an alternative;
* Validation process will automatically scroll to show the first invalid item;
* Masks field in the Filters is greyed out when it is empty, i.e. not used;
* Fixed an issue with disabled context menu of the files table (rare case);
* Added WideCharLower and WideCharUpper for easy WideChar case conversions;
* Added SubMatchesRegEx function to get sub-expressions of the first match;
* Added DialogYesNo and WideDialogYesNo confirmation dialogs;
* Added option to filters: apply masks only to the file name;
* Corrected tab order of the components in some of the rules;
* Maximized window state is remembered properly;
* Added Polish translit alphabet; |
That's a first one this year, and for last few months too ;) Crazy time, work, documents, project deadlines, presentations, certifications, etc. Nevertheless, I still try to find time to work on my tools, and here is one part of the effort over these months. Many changes has been made since the last release, so you might want to have a quick look through the changelog because I am sure that you'll find something useful for your-self :)
On the other hand, considerable time was spent for re-designing and re-working Shutter. Bits and pieces are coming together now, and hopefully I'll have a release candidate soon ready for testing. If anyone wants to have a pre-release look at it - you can contact me for more details. The underneath structure has pretty much stabilised now, but looks and feels of things do require some user attention.
