HelpXplain 1.8.0

Released: Nov 23, 2023

Atualizações na 1.8.0

Recursos

  • Favorites Tool - Added a favorites tool, where you can store objects that you want to re-insert regularly. Favorites are stored in a hidden Xplain file, which you can open and edit to modify your favorites list.
  • Format Painter - Added a new Format Painter that works in the same way as in Help+Manual, or in Microsoft Office.
  • Minor Changes:
    • Added new additional numbering steps - with text label attached.
    • Canvas background: A transparent background option has been added. This option is less important for animated presentations. But if you use HelpXplain to annotate screenshots, it creates transparent PNG files.
    • Object Shadows can now be centered.
    • Shadow direction is now displayed independently from the object rotation (and keeps its position when rotating the object).
    • Function "Fit Slide to Objects" has been improved: It is more exact and uses a more detailed positioning analysis.
    • Shape text editor: F2 now starts edit and ESC cancels edit.
    • Command line compiler XplainCmd.exe can now export single-slide Xplains to SVG.
    • HelpXplain can now open and edit .SnipX files.

Correções

  • Bug fix: A change of line caps was not restored by the undo function.
  • Bug fix: Undo did not work after image modification with the Skew tool.
  • Bug fix for multiple instances of HelpXplain (64 bit only).
  • Bug fix in script file: When slides were made invisible in HelpXplain, the slide index was mixed up in the output HTML file, causing slide animations not to run.
