We are glad to announce a maintenance update for Help+Manual 8.5. If you are using version 8 already and your maintenance plan includes updates until August 21, 2022, just download the setup and run it to update your current installation.
Changes in 8.5 Build 5980
- eWriter Export Format: we recently released the redistributable eWriter Viewer 3.0 for Windows and MacOS.
Help+Manual v8.5 includes the new eWriter Viewer 3.0 (32 bit) to create stand-alone EXE e-books and the configuration page for eWriter export has new export options: a product logo (shown on MacOS and Windows) and menu options for MacOS.
Please note that some export options for the eWriter format are depricated with the updated viewer and have been moved to the new command line options.
- Snagit: we have added direct support for TechSmith Snagit® 2022 cross-platform file format “.snagx”. The .snagX format is the (editable) compound image format containing the original screenshot, annotations and modifications. Help+Manual can load a .snagX picture directly and treats it like a PNG file.
Please note: the new compound .snagX format is available with Snagit 2022 only. This file format is different to the old .snag file format.
- Publish dialog: the publishing tasks frame now responds to the mouse wheel
- Screen Capture tool (bugfix): when doing a screen capture on a different monitor than the primary monitor, the cursor icon was not included.
- Bulk Find & Replace: the “replace all” function (internally using an XML scanner) has unintentionally removed non-breaking spaces (#160) from the source.
