LDPatternCreator - Release 1.3.7 - Nils Schmidt - 2012-06-03

Hey,

Here is the new LPC 1.3.7.


Please uninstall older versions of this software before installing a new version.
Your configuration won't be deleted if you have already version greater than 1.3.1 installed on your machine.

Change log:

New features:
  • You can use the sticker generator for rectangular sticker templates.
  • "Unificator.exe" is included in the post process.
  • The post process is customizable.
  • You can load/​save the colour toolbar settings.
  • The 2D engine is improved and faster.
  • The colours from the colour replacer are sorted.
  • The superfast triangulation is improved.
  • You can show vertex information of primitive/​group vertices by clicking on it in vertex mode.
  • A dynamic primitive list "Primitives.cfg" is stored in the application directory.
Fixed Bugs from 1.3.X:
  • The LPC-Unificator creates triangles with same points.
  • Primitive matrix manipulation enables "Cut", "Copy" and "Paste" when "Add Vertex" is enabled.
  • A primitive is movable in the vertex/​triangle-mode.
  • The template editor does not read from the "\template" directory.
  • LPC crashes if you take a hex-colour from a primitive/​group.

(see full list of tickets for 1.3.7)

I included a short readme.htm in the installation directory.


Cheers & Leg Godt

Future Release 1.3.8 - Nils Schmidt - 2012-06-20

Due to private reasons (I have to write a exam) the release of version 1.3.8. will be a bugfix release only.

I will publish the new version on 2012/07/24.

Re: Future Release 1.3.8 - Willy Tschager - 2012-06-21

Nils,

* Every time I launch LDPC I get a User Account Control request in Win 7 - "Do you want the following program to allow changes to this computer?". I get the request even if I launch the prog as Admin. LDPC is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\LDraw Author Tools\LDPatternCreator
* Though I just File > Save(d) before File > Exit the prog I get a request if I wanna save 'cos there are unsaved changes!

UAC / "Unsaved Changes"-Bug - Nils Schmidt - 2012-06-21

Willy Tschager Wrote:* Every time I launch LDPC I get a User Account Control request in Win 7 - "Do you want the following program to allow changes to this computer?". I get the request even if I launch the prog as Admin.

The LPC is a .NET application, which require access to your local file system. The application has no certificate and as a result, Windows 7 have to show the request. You can disable the UAC warnings with your local administrator account, but you will never be notified by the OS when programs try to install software or make changes to your computer.

In a long term perspective, I am not going to buy a certificate for this program.

Thanks, I just fixed this.

Re: UAC / "Unsaved Changes"-Bug - Roland Melkert - 2012-06-21

I don't know which file access causes this (prob. cfg?), but you could probably avoid all nagging by installing the application in your "my documents" folder or some other none system location.

Re: UAC / "Unsaved Changes"-Bug - Philippe Hurbain - 2012-06-21

I have LPC installed in "C:\LDraw\Apps\LDPatternCreator", but I get the nags nonetheless...

Re: UAC / "Unsaved Changes"-Bug - Roland Melkert - 2012-06-21

Then it's probably accessing some central .net stuff or the registry. Maybe Nils could avoid using such functions?

Alternatively you could disable uac, and install some replacement suite which gives you more control on per application base.

Re: UAC / "Unsaved Changes"-Bug - Philippe Hurbain - 2012-06-21

There are so many clicks needed to create a pattern, I can live with one more Wink

Re: Future Release 1.3.8 - Willy Tschager - 2012-06-22

Nils,

the attached file is somehow corrupt. It won't load:

* Background image
* Template
* Triangles
* Primitives
* Grouped triangles

Just the vertices show up. Pretty useless. Hopefully there is a way to fix it. When I try to save the corrupt version in a new file I get the following error:

Loading Bug - Nils Schmidt - 2012-06-26

The new release fixed this issue. Philo had reported a similar problem to me, which was related to this issue.

Re: Loading Bug - Willy Tschager - 2012-06-27

Many thx, Nils. Everything is back to normal. The only missing part was the x/y offset + scaling of the background pattern. I recovered it via notepad from an older version.

I'm sure one day (after your exams, for which I wish you the best) you're gonna tell us a little bit more of the Pattern Creator 1.3 Unicode File syntax and its column of numbers.

Bye, w.
