PhotoBook History ------------------ 3.1.1 Ð Fix: ¥ Made compatible with OS 9.2.2 3.1.0 Ð New features: ¥ Adds color mode info option to captions (CMYK, RGB, etc). ¥ Adds image height and width option for inches, centimeters and millimeters to captions. Ð Fixes: ¥ Caption boxes are made to the correct height when creating captions with more than two lines and containing small (less than 9pt) font sizes. ¥ Reinstated dragging files and folders from the desktop. ¥ Fixed an occasional error (-43) which occurred on some systems earlier than 9.0 which prevented Photobook from running at all ¥ Fixed the inset scale option for QuarkXPress version 4.04. ¥ Slightly modified some scripts for easier writing and editing. 3.0.4 Ð Fixes: ¥ Regains compatibilty with QuarkXPress versions previous to 4.1. 3.0.3 Ð Fixes: ¥ Fixed an error where PhotoBook would not caption files of certain types if some caption options were set. Fixed an error where PhotoBook would not write headers and footers if some header or footer tags were set. ¥ PhotoBook will now work with those versions of QuarkXPress where an "r" appears in the version string. 3.0.2 Ð Fixes: ¥ Fixed an error which caused PhotoBook to crash whenever captioning JPEG files from some digital cameras (Called EXIF JPEGS). "Exif" comments are imbedded into JPEG files by digital cameras recording info about the photo taken. PhotoBook now checks JPEGS for this info, and if found, skips captioning the resolution, height, and width information of the file (if included in the caption, and writing a "?" to it instead). 3.0.1 Ð Fixes: ¥ An error where closing the script dialog would sometimes cause an "Unexpected quit, error type 2" has been fixed. ¥ Importing thumbnails as now been fixed. ¥ Users of QuarkXPress Passport v 4.11 no longer get a -1700 error, which prevented PhotoBook from working at all.
