QPix |
Version History |
QPix now runs under 4D Remote connected to 4D Server 64 bit running on Windows.
Note that QPix cannot offer any of its functionality on the server side (in stored methods) when running under 4D Server 64 bit, simply because QuickTime is not available for 64 bit Windows.
Also note that there is a new plug-in included in the package (0QLM.bundle) that must be installed alongside QPix, so make sure you read and follow the updated installation instructions.
QPix is now packaged as a cross-platform, bundled plug-in, supporting 4D versions 2004.x and 11.3 or later.
QPix is a Universal Binary, i.e. it runs natively on both PPC and Intel-based Macs when used with 4D v11.x.
The plug-in area now supports scrolling using the mouse wheel. The mouse wheel scrolls the plug-in area vertically, or horizontally when the Shift key is also pressed.
A new command allows for the creation of a graphics importer instance from a 4D picture variable: QPx_NewImporterForPict.
The following commands have been extended to accept an array of graphics importer references as input:
Implemented a workaround for a problem in QuickTime versions later than 7.3, where the short pathname was returned instead of the long one.
Enhanced support for TWAIN scanners that only support the TW_RANGE data type for setting the scanning resolution (ppi).
Implemented a new plug-in option that instructs QPix to keep the last used TWAIN driver open between acquisition sessions, potentially improving acquisition speed. See QPx_SetOption for details.
A new bundled Universal Binary plug-in, QTAtoms, is now distributed with QPix free of charge. The QTAtoms plug-in allows manipulation of QuickTime Atom Containers, a data structure used to specify image export settings among other things. This functionality was previously available in the now discontinued QFree plug-in.
