Changes from 3.04
-----------------
* Ability to limit the maximum size of the image cache dynamic area
(see section on dynamic areas below)
* Fix to problems with high region Dynamic Areas on the Risc PC
* Now displays correctly in 32K modes on machines with ViewFinder cards
* Tab key toggles tool windows in front of canvas, with different sized
window tools and in both square and rectangular modes
* Double clicking on the colouring effect swatch brings up the colour
picker dialog (as older versions of Photodesk used to do).
* VM display on the clipboard window shows correct percentage when used
with on a disc with over 2GB of free space.
* Use Wimp_PollIdle to reduce system load
* Sprites for Artworks files and radio buttons removed to prevent overriding
existing copies
Changes from 3.05
-----------------
* Photodesk has problems when its dynamic area is forced in to the top
half of memory by other applications using a lots of dynamic area space.
Photodesk will now give an error and not run in this situation, to prevent
any errors occurring once work has started. If this occurs quit some other
applications which have large entries in the Task Manager dynamic area
section, for example Oregano2. Once Photodesk is started, you may re-run
these applications with no problems.
Changes from 3.06
-----------------
* All the sources have been changed from inline Basic Assembler into ObjAsm
which allows for easier maintenance & debugging.
* The "high memory address" problem on the Iyonix (and the RiscPC with big
memory) has been addressed! This previously sometimes stopped PhotoDesk from
running at all. This has also fixed many of the 'not enough memory' errors
that various functions frequently failed with. It also has the side effect
of improving PhotoDesk's stability on the Iyonix PC. If you have installed
the DAfix patch in !Boot.Choices.Boot.Tasks (or
!Boot.Choices.Users.Single.Boot.Tasks), then this should be removed by
simply deleting the 'PhotodskDA' file placed there.
* PhotoDesk now has a valid AIF header for compatibility with the A9home and
RISC OS 6
* The SpecialFX plug-ins "Box Blur" and "Gaussian Blur" no longer overwrite
white pixels!
* On the Iyonix 'selecting part of an image' caused the machine to slow down
massively making it unusable. This problem, referred to by some as 'Crawling
ants', has now been fixed by totally rewriting the method used.
* "Copy" and "Paste" now works.
* The SpecialFX "Shadow Outline" no longer causes crashes.
* The TwainPDIF module is now 32bit, (Thanks druck!)
