Emulator: MaxUAE 0.8.25 including tool bundle released
The Amiga emulator MaxUAE for Mac OS X has been put online in version 0.8.25. Different to Richard Drummond's announcement on his homepage there still is no SCSI support within this version. But there will be a bugfix release available soon. With the pre-version the SCSI emulation works already. At the MaxUAE website there is also version 1.0 of a bundle of tools available. These tools simplify the usage of Drummond's UAE port and consist of the following parts: UAE Config Creator (to create configurations using a GUI), UAE Dropper, UAE Game Loader (easy assignment of ADFs and choice of the system) and the UAE Virtual Disk Assistant (creation of DD/HD Floppies and hard disk images).

Picture converter: SplitMultiImage 1.1
"SplitMultiImage" splits files that contain several pictures (e.g. multi-page TIFF fax files) into the individual pictures.

The new version fixes a bug which caused SplitMultiImage to save multiple copies of the same image for files containing only one image, when the datatype does not support PDTA_GetNumPictures. (cg) (Translation: cg)

SplitMultiImage 1.0 released
The first version of a new tool called SplitMultiImage is now available.

Starting with AmigaOS 3.5, the picture.datatype documentation defined two new tags (PDTA_GetNumPictures and PDTA_WhichPicture), which allowed subclasses to return different images from the same file, where relevant. For example, TIFF image files often contain more than one image, and WarpTIFF.datatype is able to decode any of those images on request, returning any of the images to the application.

Unfortunately, not many applications have made use of this feature (in fact, at the time of writing, Oliver is not aware of any) and can therefore read only the first image in a file. After requests from WarpTIFF users wanting to know of software capable of reading all the pages in multi-page TIFF fax files, Oliver decided to write SplitMultiImage. Although not as nice as Multiview having this capability built-in, SplitMultiImage at least allows all the images to be viewed by extracting all the images from a file and saving them separately as IFF-ILBM files.

SplitMultiImage is not restricted to TIFF files - in theory, it will work with any datatypes supporting the new tags and for image formats that can contain multiple images. (cg) (Translation: cg)
