Title: IMatch 2018.10.2
Post by: BanjoTom on October 01, 2018, 08:07:29 PM
Improved PDF handing is GREAT!  I was able to force-update a number of PDF files that simply would not display proper thumbnails, and now they are visible and legible.  Thanks, Mario!

10.2 consistently crashed when double-clicking an image to start the viewer. Seems to be solved in 10.4. Did you know about such a problem?

For people who can't read German  ;)  :

This problem has been reported and forced me to build and ship the 2018.10.2 update.
The release notes for IMatch 2018.10.4 (https://www.photools.com/release-notes/) explain this.
Always worth to check out the release notes after installing updates.

+1 Much better than the rubbish Adobe-thumbnails. Great job, Mario, great job!  :)

The enhanced PDF support is based on the awesome XPDF Reader (https://www.xpdfreader.com/) open source project.

I know, just didn't get to there in the short time.
I saw 2018.10.2 was out, downloaded and installed it. Found the problem. Went back to the Forum to check if anybody else had reported a similar thing, which is when I saw that you had already released 2018.10.4 ... Installed that and the Problem was gone.
I hadn't even had time to read the release notes of 2018.10.2 yet!  :)

I just wanted to add my praise for the improved pdf handling. I really like the new thumbnails, it makes finding a particular pdf much easier.

Thanks,
Mario.

I knew you would like it. You've sent me two of your PDF files for testing and I good very good results.
The previews are always produced at 300 DPI so we get a suitable (and readable) size for preview and the Viewer.

A +1 from me for the latest update Mario and an extra +2 for your ultra quick update after the small fault was reported.

This is an amazing service that makes the support offered by the big Corporations look very, very poor ;-)
