Short: V3.13 of the BEST MC&DAT cover printer
Author: enderle@alpha.fh-furtwangen.de (Frank Enderle)
Uploader: enderle@alpha.fh-furtwangen.de (Frank Enderle)
Type: text/print
Replaces: text/print/audioed.lha
This is the best cover print program for the Amiga. It prints
tapecovers in the highest possible quality and offers a MUI 3.3+ user
interface. Works on every workbench printer which is able to print
graphics! Small registration fee! Needs at least OS 3.0.
This is a complete reprogrammed version which features many new
features and a completely reworked GUI.
Provides an English and a German manual.
Provides locale support for English, German and Svenska.
CHECK THIS OUT! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
======================================================================
Feature-List
------------
I highlighted here some -- in my opinion -- interesting features of
AudioED:
* prints covers in the highest possible quality
* prints using Bitmap and Compugraph fonts
* offers the possiblity to save the tape covers into a database. This
database can be extended till there's no more storage for it
* programmed according to the Commodore Style Guide
* offers an online-help
* prints tapecovers for normal and slimline tapes
* every by the workbench supported printer is supported by AudioED
* thanks to MUI AudioED works on every screen resolution
* a preview function helps you to save paper
* AudioED is able to print a graphic on the title page of a tape
* own fontrequester with fontcache and preview
* supports DAT (Digital Audio Tape) covers
=======================================================================
What's new?
-----------
* There were many cosmetic changes. The GUI is now clearly arranged
and there should be less problems on screens with lower
resolutions.
* AudioED is now programmed in an object oriented way which shows up
in a more stable program. Currently the OOP is only implemented
with MUI. The support routines (there're not many) are not
programmed in C++ currently. But I think that this will change in
one of the next releases.
* MUI 3.x is now full supported. Due to that fact you also nee at
least MUI 3.3. Therefore AudioED offers an extensive bubble help
and all the other advantages of MUI 3.x. A new version of AudioED
was really required since version 2.xx had problems with the new
MUI and the GUI was nearly impossible to use.
* Drag'n'drop is now full supported wherever I felt that it's an
useful thing.
* Song entries can now be numbered and highlighted by attributes
(italics, bold and underlined).
* The songtimes can now optionally be displayed as counter-units. A
seconds means then one counter-unit.
* AudioED now offers local popup menus (only MUI 3.6+)
* Due to the revised databank system I increased the number of
entries on DAT tapes to 86. But you'll have to glue the cover a
bit ;)
* Printing of covers is now asynchron. This was implemented through
a background task.
* AudioED now finally offers the possiblity to open more than one
window at the same time. So you can open for example a print
window for DAT and MC tapes at the same time. Same applies to all
fontset- and fontrequesters. AudioED is only blocked while
printing a cover.
* Nearly all configuration are saved seperated within each tape (MC
and DAT).
* New and more comfortable registration utility.
* The size limit of the fonts was removed. Therefore the user has to
take more care of selecting not too big fonts.
* On DAT tapes it's now possible to print three title lines.
* Unfortunately this version doesn't offer the announced MD and DCC
support. I ran simply out of time since I have no sample cover and
due to the fact that my semester starts soon. Yes... the study is
also guilty because it made it impossible for me to develop this
version earlier...
* On printing MC-tapes you now get also the two little stickers to
glue them on the tape.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
This history starts at version 3.00 which represents the 5th Aminet
release of AudioED. The old history up to version 2.87a was discarded
since the program was completely redesigned. AudioED is now programmed
according to the OOP design of MUI and BOOPSI. One of the next
releases may feature full C++ code.

Version Date ID Comment
----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.00 27-Aug-96 ---- BETA released to BETA testers.
enderle@alpha.fh-furtwangen.de
3.01 28-Aug-96 B--- While rendering the DAT contents comment
part the fontset wasn't changed to the
info-font.
u.kretschmer@bbrandes.berlinet.de
3.02 29-Aug-96 -I-S Multiselect feature added for tape contents
to enable multimanipulation for numbering,
underlined, bold and italics.
u.kretschmer@bbrandes.berlinet.de
3.03 29-Aug-96 B--- Preview is not closed when the print window
is closed. This caused an enforcer hits and
sometimes a complete system fault.
u.kretschmer@bbrandes.berlinet.de
3.04 29-Aug-96 B--- Had to change the popup menu stuff since MUI
3.6 seems to have some bugs in the rendering
routine.
enderle@alpha.fh-furtwangen.de
3.05 30-Aug-96 B--- The windows of the application weren't
blocked while the working window is open.
This is now fixed.
enderle@alpha.fh-furtwangen.de
3.06 08-Sep-96 B--- AudioED forgot to create the ENV:AudioED and
the ENVARC:AudioED directories if they don't
exist.
enderle@alpha.fh-furtwangen.de
3.07 08-Sep-96 B--- The popup menus of dat.class and mc.class
had problems with enabling/disabling of some
items. This was fixed.
enderle@alpha.fh-furtwangen.de
3.08 08-Sep-96 B--- If Import Tape was called and no filename
was given AudioED crashed.
enderle@alpha.fh-furtwangen.de
3.09 11-Sep-96 -I-- I thought it would be nice to have those
little papers which are glued to the tape
sides and so I included them to my print
routine for MC covers.
enderle@alpha.fh-furtwangen.de
3.10 12-Sep-96 B--- The Preview and the Print buttons in the
print requesters weren't disabled after they
called the render routines. The user was
able to call the Preview two times which
would have may caused a crash of AudioED.
enderle@alpha.fh-furtwangen.de
3.11 12-Sep-96 -I-S Amiga Technologies said that developers
shouldn't use their own trap handler and so
I decided to remove the AudioED trap handler
from AudioED. This should make no difference
for the user.
enderle@alpha.fh-furtwangen.de
3.11 15-Sep-96 --FS AudioED should save it's preferences in the
common IFF file format. This would make the
conversion of the configuration files
unnecessarry and will be implemented in the
next public release.
enderle@alpha.fh-furtwangen.de
3.11 15-Sep-96 --FS The clipboard shouldn't be internal and
should also use the IFF format. This makes
it then possible to exchange the data
between the several classes of AudioED. This
will be implemented in the next public
release.
enderle@alpha.fh-furtwangen.de
3.11 15-Sep-96 --FS Implentation of a ratio to calculate between
time and counter setting. This also makes it
possible to calculate the total time in
counter mode.
enderle@alpha.fh-furtwangen.de
3.12 15-Sep-96 -I-- AudioED now recognizes the country's
measuring system and switches between metric
and inch if required.
enderle@alpha.fh-furtwangen.de
3.13 06-Oct-96 -I-S The print windows now uses groups to show
the four subgroups which should be of
advantage on systems with smaller screens.
louvel@dig-isim.univ-montp2.fr
3.13 01-Nov-96 B--- The print task doesn't free it's resources
on an abort.
