We are glad to announce the first update after the official release of HelpXplain!
HelpXplain is perfect for slideshows and HowTo screencasts embedded in web pages and technical documentation.
This is a free maintenance update that fixes several small bugs that have been reported by users during the last 8 days. Bug fixes in no particular order:
- Problem with offline activation fixed
- Several UI errors fixed
- Errors in online help fixed
- Optical glitches in object tree and high-dpi monitors fixed
- Optical glitches in German UI fixed
- Project Properties, Custom Scripts edit field: copy to clipboard with CTRL+C did not work
- When changing the slide transition to “Show”, it was not permanently saved and was back to “Pan, rotate, zoom” the next time the Xplain project was opened.
- Inserting SVG images: if the SVG has a defines size larger than the slide, it is automatically reduced to slide size.
- Animation Preview: when the animation preview for a slide was running, it was possible to manipulate objects currently being animated, possibly resulting in access violations.
- Changing background size could have caused an error when the background was too large.
- After changes to the publishing skin or to the project properties, the Save button did not immediately become enabled.
- Duplication of an existing slide did reset the project configuration
- Object tree: images now also display their internal file name for easier identification
- Several bugs fixed when creating image sliders:
- The picture on the first slide started with the name “Image2” instead of “Image1”.
- If an image was deleted from disk between image selection and the creation of a slider, HelpXplain raised an error.
- If the images on the slider were small, the default slide size was still 960 x 540 px
- Taking the aspect ratio of the first image on the slider did not work if images were cropped
