Fotoxx 11.11

  • Creating and editing collections was made easier and more intuitive.
  • Synchronize Files now runs automatically at startup. Image navigation and viewing is immediately possible but editing is blocked until synchronize is finished (normally a few seconds).
  • Straighten Image: fix less than optimal results for images needing a large correction. Menu was renamed to Keystone Correction.
  • New menu: Help > User Guide Changes: summary of changes to reduce effort to keep up.
  • New menu: Help > Edit Functions Summary: a one-page "quick reference" summary of all the image editing functions.
  • New user guide topic: organize a large image collection to reduce effort and optimize image searching.
  • The status bar now shows if a dialog is waiting for input (possibly hidden under another window).
  • New keyboard shortcut: N = Rename Image File.
  • Transform and Retouch menus were rearranged to follow typical workflow.
  • Rotate and warp dialogs have convenience buttons to the grid setup menu.
  • Grid setup: the grid lines can be moved around over the image using sliders.
  • New utility: update collections if the top image directory was moved.
  • The package build method was updated to improve Debian packages and include dependencies on non-library executable programs. The RPM packages have library dependencies only because the package names and contents are different from Debian.
