Latest Desktop Picture Frame 4.1 beta (build 4.1.3707.39430) bug-fixes and changes

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Bugs found and fixed:

  • only one image is dropped from several that has been dragged on drag and drop over image list;
  • target image stays selected after paste from clipboard;
  • images paste after target image;
  • rare artifact – some image pixels (regions) become transparent at 100% opacity;
  • “Apply to all portrait/landscape images” button (placed on “Setup frames and caption options” window) does not update according to current image;
  • current frame name (placed on “Setup frames and caption options” window) does not update on frame select;
  • image, that has been displayed last, reappears after closing Options pages if image list is empty.

Changes made:

  • autoupdate system now performs overwriting of frameset files that are in use by the program (i.e. current frame and frame definitions);
  • slide-show begins from the last added image while in the reverse show order;
  • installer made ready for handling additional framesets that will come as separate install packages;
  • frames of polaroid format is replaced with frames of habitual format;
  • new frames are included in framesets.

Changes and bug fixes will be introduced in Desktop Picture Frame 4.1 production release.
