Magnifier tool: Lupe 2.1 for AmigaOS 3, 4 and MorphOS
At the end of June Matthias "UltraGelb" Böcker released version 2.0 of his magnifier tool for MorphOS and AmigaOS (amiga-news.de reported). Now he has released version 2.1, which also supports AmigaOS 4. The changes:
- Added italian AmigaGuide documentation translated by Samir Hawamdeh.
- Added an TEXTFRAMETYPE option to change the type of frame that is to be drawn around the coordinates and RGB displays.
- The window can now also be moved around by using the cursor keys or the numeric key pad. The 'immovable' option has no effect on this. For details/qualifiers please see the documentation.
- 68k version now uses z.library (http://aminet.net/util/libs/zlib.lha) for PNG saving. The z.library that comes with MUI5 also works.
- Added support for application.library/ringhio on OS4 to notify the user when an image was saved.
- Added native support for OS4 intuition screen notifications when WB wants to close/reopen.
- Added native support for iconify and jump-screen gadget if OS4 is detected.
- There is now an OS4 native compile of Lupe.
- Added a 'Pause' mode that can be activated either by Project menu and its menu key, just pressing space when the Lupe window is active or by a definable hotkey (see PAUSEKEY argument/ToolType).
- The 68K version of Lupe now checks for zlib.library at program start and if there isn't it will disable the 'Save PNG' menu item.
- There is now a bonus drawer which at the moment only contains an alternative glow icon by Luca (thanks for the icon :-))
- Double-clicking the Lupe window while holding the SHIFT key will move the Lupe window to the back now if it's not set as a frontdrop window. Useful when set to borderless.
- Double-clicking the Lupe window will bring it to font now if it is not set as a backdrop window.
- Added glow icons done by Mikhail Malyshev which will be used from now on for the 68K version of Lupe.
- Added HORIZSLIDER option to have the zoom-slider in the bottom border of the window instead of the right border.
- FRONTDROP option is now simulated on classic AmigaOS and does a timed WindowToFront() every now and then.
- Added BACKDROP and FRONTDROP options to have the window either always stay in the background or in the foreground respectively.
- Added WINDOWBORDER option.
- Added padding for RGB and and coordinates texts between frame and text. Use XTEXTPADDING and YTEXTPADDING to change the padding horizontally and vertically respectively.
- Added 'Open Icon-Info' menu item to the 'Settings' menu to open the icon info window on the workbench of Lupe's icon. This mostly makes sense with the ICONNOTIFY option to have another way to edit all options without the need to restart Lupe.
- Reworked the menu structure. Instead of having just the 'Project' menu, screen related items are now in the new 'Screen' menu. Settings related items were moved to a 'Settings' menu.
- Improved scaling/blitting so that there are no small black borders anymore on the right and bottom sides.
- Lupe will now try to use the systems default font (gfxbase.defaultfont) before using topaz.font as a final fallback.
- You can now specify your own font Lupe will use to display Coordinates and RGB using the UserFont argument.
- Fixed broken error handling for the PNG saver in the Amiga68k version.
- Coordinates and the RGB pixel value are no longer drawn in the window border but instead are drawn in the window itself now.
- Added russian catalogs by Mikhail Malyshev.
- Added italian catalogs by Samir Hawamdeh and Luca Longone.
- Added visual prefs Iconify gadget support, so Lupe now also sports an iconify gadget on OS3.x if visual prefs is running or the standalone 'tbiclass' (aminet/dev/gui/titlebar_ic.lha) is installed.
- Mouse wheel zoom can now be inverted by tooltype or CLI argument INVERTWHEEL.
- Lupe will now open its AppIcon at 0,0 when iconified.
- Added some missing localisations in the about requester.
- Lupe now displays its name and version in the screen title when the window is active.
- Fixed an enforcer hit when parsing CLI arguments that are defined as /K/S.
