'Convert Image' Revision History

• Windows 7 Compatibility enhancements. (3.00)

• Vista Compatibility enhancements. Program may now run faster on Vista. See Versions (1.87)

3.40 (7/30/2012)

• Conversion Items may now be moved within the 'Conversion Task List'. Select the CONVERSION menu item or the RIGHT MOUSE CLICK to open a pop-up menu item. Move UP, DOWN, FIRST, and LAST are now available. CTRL-U and CTRL-D also move a conversion item up and down respectively.

• Users may now be asked to save the 'Conversion Job' file if they are exiting, loading an existing 'Conversion Job' file, or requesting to create a new 'Conversion Job'. If there is no 'conversion job' file at the time, there must be at least 2 conversion items in the 'Conversion job' to be asked to save. Users will not be asked to save if they've loaded a 'Conversion Job' and haven't modified it.
• On rare occasion, loading a 'Conversion Job' file would not work. This happened when setting to convert all pages in a tiff by specifying "*", the asterisk.

3.30 (5/21/2012)

• Command Line: A time stamp will be put in the log file (if /L is specified).

3.20 (1/23/2012)

• Japanese language file updated

3.10 (9/12/2011)

• User Interface greatly enhanced.

      

3.00 (8/16/2010)

• Windows 7 compatibility enhancements made.  Default report folders now updated.

2.0 (12/29/2009)

• Help system completely rewritten.  CHM help file now used, and web help is there for backup.
• User Interface: The terms "Original" and "Target" file have been replaced with the more intuitive "Input" and "Output" respectively.
• User Interface: If users launch the target file and it does not exist, now it opens the folder in explorer.

1.990 (10/26/2009)

• User Interface: Upon completion of a Conversion Job, the status bar now flashes 100% complete.  If minimized, the taskbar flashes to indicate completion.
• User Interface: When running the scheduler, if program is minimized the time remaining shows up in the task bar.
• User Interface: When running the scheduler, PAUSE button now enabled to halt scheduler.

1.989 (8/19/2009)

• The Shell Extender would open the program, however the user interface would not look proper.

1.988 (8/6/2009)

• Move the input (original) file after processing has been added as an option. See the File\Options menu or the Options button in the user interface.  This will be very helpful for those looking to use the scheduler to convert a specific folder of files while avoiding redundant conversions.

1.987 (5/12/2009)

• Scheduler updated. Countries where time format was MM/DD/YYYY were sometimes problematic.

1.985 (5/12/2009)

• Command Line: /O switch was broken.

1.9842 (5/29/2009)

• Command Line: Full path not required for /S /T /L /B and /J. If the full path is not specified it is assumed the current folder will be used. If the current folder path is invalid, then the folder that contains ConvertXLS.exe will be used. This makes it easy to specify the command line like so:

          ConvertImage.EXE /S "Coffee.jpg" /T "cream.png" /F1 /C8

1.980 to 1.983 (4/21/2009)

• Scheduler: When running a scheduled job under Windows XP an error would occur.

• Most Recently Used Conversion Job files now available from the FILE menu item.

1.972 to 1.980 (3/29/2009)

• Usability: Users no longer have to press the ADD button for the program to convert. Upon pressing the ADD button, the program assumes you will be creating a conversion job that has more than one conversion item.

• Usability: When pressing the PAUSE button, the status bar now reflects this fact, and the Green check or Red X is properly displayed if the last running conversion job finished.

• Usability: Users no longer have to press REWIND if the last run went to 100% completion.

• Usability: When pressing the PAUSE button, the mouse now restores back to the arrow as it should.

• Error Logging: If users pressed PAUSE during a conversion job, and then clicked CONVERT, any errors logged from this point had an incorrect 'Conversion Job Number'.

• Command Line: Should run much faster now that many ini parameters are not being unnecessarily loaded.

1.97 to 1.972 (2/26/2009)

• General. Loading the application should occur faster.

1.96 to 1.97 (11/17/2008)

1.83 to 1.84 (1/7/2006)

• File Conversion: When converting a JPEG or TIFF file with 4 letter file extensions (i.e. apples.jpeg instead of apples.jpg) the user interface would complain about a mismatch in the file name and the original file chosen. 

1.82 to 1.83 (10/19/2006)

• Special Process "[2] Transform/Resize Image".  Users can now retain aspect ratio while also specifying only the width or the height.  Simply specify 0 for the width or height.

1.81 to 1.82 (10/18/2006)

• Special Process "[60] Launch (Run) a program" now works with BAT files

1.80 to 1.81 (9/22/2006)

• Command Line: If a conversion job was not rewound, the command line would report a successful conversion, even though it did nothing. Now, if doing the command line, the complete conversion job is done from beginning to end, regardless of whether or not the conversion job was rewound last time it was edited.

• Max number of files during trial changed from 250 to 100

1.74 to 1.80 (6/15/2006)
