Graphics/!Translatr/Docs/Updates

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Updates since version 6.30
       
6.31   - 256-colour palette choice eased. 'Current mode' plus 'Current
         palette' will now work, instead of choosing the default palette for
         output. 'Full' saves with 'Include palette' on will now save the
         used 256-colour palette instead of none. Archimedes sprites with non
         standard palettes are accepted now.
         You can now try to tweak the 256-colour palette to get better
         results. Will not be at all easy however.
       - Bug (introduced in 6.30) fixed : clicking on very small files caused
         'Outside file' error when Translator checked contents, which it
         shouldn't do (only for dragged files). Introduced in 6.30.
       - Final (?) change to the menu structure.
       - Tiedied up the documentation.
       - Save file windows (Clear/Sprite) now gain caret automatically.
       - Truevision TARGA format added. Support for 8 bit paletted and
         15/16/24/32 bit RGB, none and runlength compression. Translator
         filetype &69D (no icons yet).

6.32   - Bug fixed : due to some very unfortunate mistakes made in changed
         palette loading PROC, Sprites and BMP images were wrong. Introduced
         in 6.31.
       - Bug fixed : Sprites with palette could not be loaded due to leftover
         'NEXT' leading to error. Introduced in 6.31.
       - Bug fixed : ArVis would not load. Introduced in 6.31.

6.33   - Added icons for Targa format by P. Gosselink.
       - Bug fixed : Targa lost 1 pixel in some situations.
       - PBMPlus (Portable Bit Map toolkit) format added. Supports formats
         P1 to P6. Translator filetype &69E (no icons yet).
       - Bug fixed : 'Info' of iconbar menu sometimes got caret(!) because of
         erroneous menu pointer.

6.34   - Bug fixed : Image number did not work correctly for multi-sprite
         sprite files (always skipped to *last* sprite!).
       - Icons for PBMPlus format by P.Gosselink.

6.35   - When 'Black and white' is on, and an RGB format is input, a
         grey-paletted Clear file (8bpp) will now result, instead of the
         3-times larger R=G=B RGB Clear file.
       - Updated 'Summary' file. This was not up to date anymore :-).
       - 'Next image' icon in Processing.Misc added. Clicking on this icon
         will increment 'Image number' and re-load the last input file.
         This makes it easier to step through, for example, multi-sprite
         files.
       - Zeridajh Video Digitiser Animation format added. This is output by
         the animation part of the software that comes with my home-brew video
         digitiser podule. It contains multiple grey images (1/2/4/8 bpp).
         Translator filetype &69F (no icons yet).
       - Added 'Previous image', as 'Next image', but decrements image number.
       - Added 'Reload last', which reloads the last input file.

6.36   - SUN RLE compression support added.
       - Icons added for ZVDA filetype (based on iconbar icons of !AnimDigi,
         which displays these animations in the desktop).

6.40   - Translator (and Creator) are now Shareware. See Guide for details.
       - Intensity range (displayed in image info window) for paletted files
         is now always calculated, regardless of 'Expand range' flag.
       - Bug fixed : Amiga IFF auto-recognize did not work anymore because of
         some change in the past. Ok now.
       - Filetype number and name of SUN files changed : Acorn recently
         allocated &FC9/'SunRastr' to SUN raster files. This leaves filetype
         &696 currently unoccupied.
       - &FF0 (TIFF) and &FC9 (SunRastr) now (also) auto-boot Translator.
       - Improvement in displaying the image sprite in a mode with too few
         colours : instead of the 'popularity' algorithm (most frequent
         colours determine palette), 'Heckbert' quantization is now used,
         which intelligently determines a set of colours so that, over the
         whole image, the mapping errors are close to minimal.
       - Bug fixed : when an unexpected error occured during loading,
         the claimed max. wimpslot was not released, choking the memory
         system. Ok now.
       - Bug fixed : PBMPlus type P1 was expected to have whitespace between
         the '0's and '1's, but the standard does not require this. P1 without
         whitespace is accepted correctly now. (NOTE : !Creator 1.10 can now
         create all the PBM formats).
       - Moved 'Reload last' from 'Process.Misc' to 'Misc' submenu, which
         gives less mouse travel for reloads.

6.41   - Bug fixed : auto-load refused to load pic. Introduced in 6.40.

6.42   - Fixed incorrect bug fix of 6.41 : When unexpected errors occur
         during load/rotate, infinite attempts are made. Ok now.

6.43   - 'Screen mode' icon in info window sometimes disappeared because of
         'Bits per pixel' info overflowing to it. Ok now.

6.44   - Bug fixed : Sun raster files were not recognized by filetype (only
         by contents), which caused an auto-boot of Translator every time
         they were double-clicked (the Alias$@RunType taking over, because
         Translator does not check contents on double-clicks).
       - PCX version number now ignored, though only some version 5 and
         one version 2 image (previously rejected) were tested. Corruption
         could now occur for other version numbers (0 & 3).
       - 'View mode' now works slightly different : the current mode is
         only 'recorded' when loading a new image *without* one being already
         loaded. Continuous closing of the image window to hold on to your
         favourite 'return-mode' is no longer necessary.
