Released: Dec 4, 2019

Updates in 1.2

Features

• eWriter Output Format - HelpXplain now creates eWriter eBooks out-of-the-box. An eWriter eBook is a compressed single file that can easily be copied, emailed and viewed.
• PDF Export - Now supports multiple slides per page and offers a quality setting for the slide pictures.

Fixes

• Screen capture bug fix: full-screen capture on secondary monitors did not work.
• Screen capture bug fix: in free region capture mode, the screen capture tool silently crashed if one single-clicked outside the selection area.
• Bugfix: ribbon menu for fill was enabled for text objects, though text objects are always transparent.
• Spotlight objects with follow-cursor (like inserted with screencast): when a text object was placed left of the screenshot, the spotlight was in the wrong position.
• eWriter export format implemented.
• favicon.ico added to output folder (also for the eWriter output, which picks up the icon).
• DeepL: Portuguese language supported.
• Problem with invalid fill images fixed.
• Publish Dialog: skin selection drop-down list has a scrollbar.
• Mouse-over action “Change to full opacity” was always reset.
• Improved error handling for Image Tools.
• When inserting (new) images, extra large images are physically reduced to a maximum of 3000 x 2000 px.
• SVG images are normally exported with an <object> tag (= animated SVGs supported, but not clickable). If the SVG image has a click action, it is exported with an <img> tag (= clickable, but not animated).
• Slide #number is no longer displayed in document title.
• Lines with a dashed stroke were rendered es solid lines in HTML.
• When the caption of a slide was being edited, pressing the DELETE key asked to delete the slide.
• Publish as PDF / GIF / Images: an optional page scale factor makes the exported slides larger or smaller.
• Full-screen mode on secondary monitors: when HelpXplain was running full screen on a secondary monitor, it did not save the window position and reverted to the default monitor the next time it was opened.
