v2018.100   Jun 13, 2017

Priority: High

2018.100 is our 20th anniversary update with redesigned UI and more: see the 2 minute intro video, https://youtu.be/h1umDW6cJz0

Mike,

Congratulations, a fine upgrade for a 20th Anniversary celebration!
QUAlity; maybe the right time for an extra extension to Qimage Ultimate?

One suggestion; the Mark Edges and Print File info menu entrances shifted to the Prints menu?
They fit better there is my gut feeling. I often add 0.5mm +border plus mark corners and cut slightly within the marks.
Whether the Print filters should go there too is harder to say, they affect the image itself and relate more to processing and printer settings but the crop filters.

Anyway, I like this upgrade right from the start.

Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst

Thanks very much Fred. You are right, the "flip/flop" function is good.

I had viewed both of Mike's 2018.100 introductory videos before posting.

For my use, I don't need to see high detail in the thumbnails because 99% of the time I printing from a folder containing TIFFs that were exported soley for printing from my primary processing software. Hence I don't need to distinguish similar images and prefer to see more thumbnails at a time. I think I previously had the size set to "medium" and with 2018.100 I set to "small"  in an attempt to get the preferred thumbnail size.

Update: I now see what was happening. The thumbnail size changes slightly with position of the divider. I can get my preferred thumbnail size by adjusting the divider position.

Hi Ernst,

Thanks for the praise and glad you are enjoying the update.  I can see those options being valuable on the Prints tab.  The reason they are on the Printers and Settings tab is that they affect the job as a whole; they are not per-print settings which I keep on the Prints tab.  There's also not much room for them on the Prints tab because you have to keep the minimum monitor resolution requirements in mind: 1024x768 is the minimum.

Regards,
Mike

I'd like to add my congratulations to Mike for his excellent, and my favourite, program. I tried to work out when I started using it and it was probably at work when we were using Photoshop V7, which was 2002!
I love the new layout, but just one thing (which is me being thick), I can't find the Add Crop Marks/Mark edges/etc dialog box.

Brian

Thanks Fred, I was being really thick!

Ernst made the suggestion to put those on the Prints tab instead.  The mark edges, print file info, etc. are on the Printers and Settings tab because that's where I keep options that affect the whole job.  The Prints tab contains options that can be changed on a per-print basis.  Seems clean to me to keep that split between "job options" and "print options".

But by similar logic, those options do affect "prints" even if they do affect all prints at once, so I guess they could go either place.  Let's see what people prefer.  Just reply here if you have a preference: do you think print file info, mark edges, global filter, and print filter would be easier to work with on the "Printers and Settings" tab (where they are now), or the "Prints" tab?  If you have a preference, please reply either way because if only the people who would rather have it moved reply, I won't know what the consensus is.

I can easily put them either place... although there is more room where they are now.

Regards,
Mike
