CSX v1.4b4

Post by xbytor »

I uploaded what I hope will be the last 1.4 beta for ContactSheetX
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfil ... _id=207621

Here's the relevant chunk from the ChangeLog.

Code: Select allv1.4b4
   Fixed formatting bug for GPS metadata.
   
   Fixed Bridge sort order bug.

   Fixed Color Profile settings visibility problem on Document panel.

   Fixed error related to sheet post-processing.

   Added improved error handling and reporting.
   
   Fixed vertical caption alignment bug for multi-line captions.

   Simplified CSXBridge implementation, especially for CS3+.

   Added Middle to caption vertical alignment.   
   
v1.4b2
   Added 'Color Profile' to Document panel. Removed 'convertToProfile' and
   'forceProfileMatch. from Advanced panel.

   Reworked Progress Bar interaction so that Cancel now terminates the
   script after the current image has been processed.

   Renamed 'rasterizedThumbs' to 'embedSmartObjects'.

   Added code for eventual CS4 port.

   Fixed CS2 compatibility problems.
   
v1.4b1
   Added ability to extract all metadata from an image file via Bridge
   without having to open the image. This greatly speeds things up when
   captions have embedded metadata.
   
   Fixed bug where ° symbol in the default gpsFormat setting was
   getting bashed.
   
   Added @Metadata substitution layers. Needs docs and a sample template.
   
   Greatly improved quality of thumbs by reworking SmartObject code. This
   is very noticable with large source images.
   
   Fixed a bug with Lab and Grayscale document modes not working.
   
   Added ContactSheet-UI.log to help trackdown errors in the UI.

   Added 'Show Previous Log' button on Advanced panel to show the
   log file contents from the last run.
   
   Removed logFile and logEnabled from Advanced panel. These values are
   now hardwired in the script.
   
   Fixed bug involving saving some of the settings from the Outpanel
   when Save Sheet is off and Keep Sheet Open is on.
   
   Added MS-Intuitive-Sort of filenames (xpSort = true). The setting is on
   the 'Advanced' panel.

   Keep thumbnails as smart objects when placed (rasterizeThumbs = false).

   Added ability to disable date/gps formatting for caption fields by
   prefixing EXIF,   XMP or IPTC tags with a '-'. This allows the raw field
   value to be passed through. Ex: %E{-DateTimeOriginal}
   
   Moved logging so that it starts immediately (before conversion
   of UI options).

   Improved diagnostics for post-validation/pre-processing phase.
   
   Fixed a potential localization problem on the Mac for HP modes that
   run external applications.
   
   Fixed bug where the script would not recurse into folders more than
   2 deep in some situations.

   Added support in InstallCSX for localized (non-English) versions of
   Photoshop.
