This is a read-only implementation. (FlashPix was designed as a whole philosophy of image storage and processing that clashes with the support for dozens of formats and the methods of image processing in ThumbsPlus. I have provided FlashPix Support in ThumbsPlus mainly for compatibility with digital cameras that produce FPX files. Write capability will likely be added in a future release; however, support for storing and modifying the image transforms is unlikely.)ThumbsPlus reads the transformed image data; rotations and adjustments stored in the FPX file are applied.

This produces more visible thumbnails for solid files (rather than only a vertical line).·I added a "Save" button to the Edit Comments window so you can save image comments to a text file.·Uncompressed TIFF files with invalid strip lengths can now be read.Ón@ÈEA P€§€R˜È:‚H€ƒ€€€‚€ƒ€€€‚ÿ·You can now acquire and save to multiple files without viewing first (especially useful for auto-document feeders). The menu option Picture | TWAIN Multiple Acquire produces a dialog box where you specify the prefix, sequence number, and file format for the stored scans. To help you keep things in sync, ThumbsPlus uses the same prefix and sequence number for single acquisitions.·ThumbsPlus can save TIFF files with reduced color information (6 bits red, 6 bits blue, and 7 bits green) for increased compressibility. To enable this option, select Skim low-order bits from the Tiff Options dialog while saving. This option is only useful for saving 24-bit images; for other image color depths, it is ignored.MŽBF17~ي FYF_MNew File Types Supported3.0gDÈEYF- *€.€ ˜Œ†a¡…€ƒ‚ÿProblems Fixed3.0g1ÏFvHN j€Ÿ€TŒÖ,„Vª€ƒ€‚€ƒ€‚€ƒ€‚€ƒ€‚€ƒ€‚ÿ·Selecting the "Include Lo-res" option in the Web Page Wizard caused ThumbsPlus to crash.·ThumbsPlus did not position to the start-up directory when a new database was opened.·The font selected for displaying image comments was not saved.·EPS files would sometimes be left open (and unable to delete) after thumbnailing or viewing.·Images and metafiles were always cropped on catalogs and contact sheets, without regard to the option setting.bYFØJL f€-€TŒÖ,„Vª€ƒ€€€‚€ƒ€‚€ƒ€‚€ƒ€‚ÿ·The third view window cursor (Options | Preferences | Viewing) did not work properly.·24-bit RGB Raw images were not decoded properly.·Metafiles are now copied to the clipboard to be compatible with Office 97 applications, which do not follow Microsoft's own guidelines for pasting metafiles!
