- ROMCAT Maintenance History
-
- Version 1.31 6/19/94
-
- Bug fix - resolve "Error code 27" launching a .CMX file.
-
- Version 1.3 6/16/94
-
- Support DRAW version 5.
-
- README.TXT updated with catalog disk space requirements for DRAW versions
- 3 and 5.
-
- Added upgrade instructions to README.TXT plus other minor changes.
-
- Version 1.21 2/10/94
-
- New feature: Options Menu has added entry, "Import Selected Drawing", that
- will pass a request to CorelDRAW to import the .CDR file selected in the
- result list box. This can be used in place of the former 5-step method of
- passing the path name thru the clipboard. The user can also set the default
- action taken (open or import) when double-clicking a .CDR file on the
- result list; this default is set using the "Options" menu, "Double-Click
- Default Action".
-
- Screen enhancement: If viewing a catalog built without thumbnails, the
- thumbnail box is eliminated. Likewise, if viewing a catalog built without
- keywords, the "Search by..." box is eliminated. Both changes allow more
- room for the list boxes.
-
- Screen enhancement: An alternate screen arrangement is now available that
- widens the list boxes. User can select the alternate arrangement from the
- "Options" menu, "Screen Layout".
-
- Screen enhancement: Allow user to select the size of the thumbnail box,
- either small (optimal for 1K and 4K image headers) or large (optimal for
- 2K and 8K image headers). Formerly the program chose the size based on the
- video card's resolution. User can select the thumbnail box size from the
- "Options" menu, "Screen Layout".
-
- Catalog build enhancement: Allow user to select clipart directories to be
- excluded during the catalog build process. Directory exclusion can apply to
- thumbnails, keywords, or both. If applied to thumbnails, catalog size can
- be reduced. If applied to both thumbnails and keywords, catalog build time
- is reduced.
-
- Catalog build enhancement: Reading of keyword/thumbnail information from
- .CDR files is deferred until after entire directory structure has been
- read. This way the total number of .CDR files to be read is known, and a
- percent complete can be displayed while reading the files. Since a majority
- of time during a catalog build is spent reading .CDR files (due to the slow
- access rate of CD-ROM), this 'percent complete' will give the user a better
- sense of how much catalog build time remains.
-
- Catalog Update 12/9/93
-
- Re-upload with newer version of catalog file; new catalog file indexes
- the revision B3 CD's.
-
- Version 1.1 8/7/93
-
- Bug fix: If the user was building his/her own catalog and ran out of disk
- space, the problem was not reported correctly. The build would continue,
- then give a misleading "catalog is corrupt" message when the build
- finished. Program has been modified to correctly report when disk space
- runs out.
-
- Documentation update: The README.TXT file was updated to give an estimate
- of the disk space required to build a full catalog when the hard disk is
- compressed (via DoubleSpace, Stacker, etc.). With DoubleSpace, the full
- catalog gets about 1.5 to 1 compression, so the suggestion for a compressed
- drive is 27 million bytes of projected free space. Other products may
- achieve differing amounts of compression.
-
- Version 1.0 7/13/93
-
- Initial release.
