2023.109      Jan 28, 2023

Priority: Low

v2023.109 includes:

• Print sizes: Mode indicators next to print sizes indicate whether clicking a size will add prints, change prints, or select a default size.*
• Page alert: The page total indicator below the live view will flash yellow for 3 seconds whenever a page is either added or deleted.*
• Page sounds: New sounds effects for a page added (page turning) and page deleted (page crumpling).*
• Bug fix: Fixed a bug where "Multi Panel" could incorrectly highlight in the print sizes even though the selected print is not multi panel.

* Notes: Clicking on a print size in the size list can add new prints (if the thumbnail grid is in focus) or change the size of an existing print
in the live view (if the live view preview is in focus).  Users have pointed out that it was easy to click on a print size thinking you are changing
an existing print but instead get a new (unwanted) print and/or page because a thumbnail was the last thing they "touched".  These new
features make it more obvious what will happen when you click on a print size and will also alert you whenever a new page is created.

Oh this is so great!  For a long time I was falling into that trap where I wanted to change a size of a print in the queue, and I got the new size and another copy or copies of other thumbs which I had selected earlier. I wanted to print my new 8 x 10 and QU would try to print all in the queue. Finally, Mike recognized my distress, and put a button to PRINT TOP IMAGE showing in the queue.
Now I don't even concern myself about images sneaking into my queue. ... and it has sound effects to remind my brain that QU did it for me.
It also shows me + next to my sizes telling me if I click that size I will get selected thumbs into my queue at that size.  If I have an image in the queue already, next to the sizes there's a triangle indicating that clicking on a size will change the size of the print already in the queue.
OK all good EXCEPT..... that triangle. I call it a triangle or a Yield sign. Mike calls it a DELTA????  A delta is a faucet or a tract of land.... or is this the language of the new generation?
Triangle or Delta?

You'll have to excuse Fred.  Apparently they didn't teach math when/where he was growing up.   ;D

Mike

Teach it? Had they even invented it yet?

(I can say this because it was a recent innovation in my time)

Thanks.   
Sometimes he sends me a MEME??  What is that?  I never heard of a meme. Did you?

I'm not going to ask how old you are since Einstein came up with general relativity in 1915.  ;)

Ha! You know, I have to post foolishness because there's little I can say about Qimage. It just works. Every Time. If I'm lucky, I print a batch of stuff for each update, but sometimes the program advances far faster than I do. The new clues/reminders are good because I do forget that stuff.
