Release History

Version 1.3.5.2 Released 11/09/05: fixes one bug in which a JPEG with a pixel density less than 72 pixels per inch could not be added or displayed. Note: earlier versions of ScrapX will have difficulty opening scrapbooks that contain such JPEGs. (The designation "ScrapX 1.3.5.2" appears only in the names of the folders in the download archives, the "About ScrapX" panel, and the file name of the User Guide Supplement document. Everywhere else the version is labeled "1.3.5".)

Version 1.3.5.1 Released 02/15/05: an update that adds support for the EPS type and that displays EPS content when running under OS X 10.3 (Panther) or later, and that changes the copy operation for the plain text type so that font information no longer is put on the pasteboard. It also fixes a bug that caused ScrapX to crash if a certain sequence of steps was taken while text editing was enabled, and one that sometimes caused ScrapX to fail to complete a request to go to the sales page. Also, French localization is refined. (The designation "ScrapX 1.3.5.1" appears only in the names of the folders in the download archives, the "About ScrapX" panel, and the file name of the Supplemental Info document. Everywhere else the version is labeled "1.3.5".)

Version 1.3.5 Released 11/30/04: an update that allows capture of content from "promised files" when an image is dragged from Safari or other supported web browser; provides automatic and manual stripping of duplicate types; has Type Filtering that allows redundant types to be stripped when items are created; allows photos to be dragged from iPhoto; allows option-dragging to the desktop as a simple alternative to exporting; automatically creates a memo when content has only text types; adds Quick Memo Find; and adds a new progress indicator for insertion of files. The expiration date of trial licenses now is displayed in the About ScrapX panel and the speed of changing items has been significantly improved. Fixes bugs in which automatically saving could fail when the current item contained a PDF type and in which scrapbook size shown in the About This Scrapbook panel differed from the file size shown in the scrapbook file Get Info panel.

Version 1.3.4 Released 05/14/04: fixes four bugs: a problem when adding text from Internet Explorer; display of the wrong item type for some items, failure to display "Created in ScrapX" in the Source field, and failure of ScrapX to become the front application when a minimized window is clicked on in the Dock.

Version 1.3.3 Released 05/12/04: an update that logs Safari URLs and allows opening of source URLs; displays the complete address of a file dropped on ScrapX; and indicates broken links to movie and sound files. Also: scrapbook window size and location are retained, "Bigger" and "Smaller" commands are included in the Text menu, Thumbnail captions are truncated by character instead of by word, large font characters fit thumbnails, a progress indicator is added for the Recreate All Thumbnails command, and the QuickTime VR format is supported when running Panther.

Version 1.3.2 Released 04/13/04: an update that adds an "Append/Paste Special" command and the ability to open (not just import) classic and ScrapIt scrapbooks. This update improves the rendering of certain PICTs and retains the position and volume of QuickTime movies and sounds when importing (as well as when exporting), It also fixes the following bugs: a problem with Undo while editing text, a problem in which movies and sounds did not stop when the view was changed, and occasional failure of the the Primary Scrapbook "bullet" to appear when running under Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther). All documentation for version 1.3 now is available in French.

Version 1.3.1 Released 03/11/04: fixes a bug in which new scrapbooks created during searches did not contain the correct items.

Version 1.3 Released 03/09/04: an update that adds several new features, including undo and redo, rich text editing, text selection, creation of text items, image zoom, slideshows, searching within items of type: PDF, saving scrapbook display settings, "checkboxes" useful for searching and slideshows, improved capability to open URL types, and a new "About This Scrapbook" panel. Improves rendering of graphics. Fixes bugs in which when a Save As... was done while in Search Mode all scrapbook items, not just the active set, were saved and a bug in which items saved as movies sometimes appeared as sounds when the scrapbook was re-opened.

Version 1.2.5 Released 02/20/04: fixes bugs that prevented the import of classic scrapbooks that included items with certain combinations of types.

Version 1.2.4 Released 10/20/03: fixes a bug that prevented drag-and-drop of files or folders onto a scrapbook in Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther).

Version 1.2.3 Released 09/23/03: fixes two bugs: a problem with displaying Dropbox view when ScrapX is hidden (Apple fixed a bug in the Developer Tools that broke our code) and revises and restores some localization information. Also adds a tooltip with the scrapbook name to Dropbox views.

Version 1.2.2 Released 09/08/03: improves the handling of FileMaker Pro (FMP) objects so they fall under the cursor when dropped onto a FMP layout; improves support for PICTs and fixes a bug in which clippings created from some items of Type: PICT appear to be empty; adds support for the EXIF file format (which is used by many digital cameras) so that when content in this format is pasted into or dragged onto ScrapX it appears as the Type: JPEG rather than TIFF; fixes a bug in which scrapbooks did not update after the "Revert" command was selected; and removes (grays out) the Revert command if the current scrapbook has not been changed. Incremental release v1.2.2.1 (09/08/03) corrects a problem that occurred when a scrapbook contains a Type that ScrapX no longer loads. It is recommended that all ScrapX users download and install this update.

Version 1.2.1 Released 08/14/03: fixes a bug in which the search results window did not draw correctly if a search was executed from the Combined view when the thumbnails were smaller than 128 x 128 pixels. Also adds "Show Found", "Show Omitted", and "Show All" commands under the Scrapbook menu that have the same effect as the buttons in the toolbar displayed in Search Mode.

Version 1.2 Released 07/02/03: an update that adds several new features, including search, sort, Dropbox view, file export and redesigned User Preferences. Fixes a bug in which ScrapX would hang when attempting to import some classic scrapbooks.

Version 1.1.6 Released 06/12/03: fixes a bug introduced during localization in which display of movies and sounds could cause ScrapX to crash.

Version 1.1.5 Released 06/09/03: adds French localization and documentation.

Version 1.1.4 Released 04/21/03: fixes three bugs: changes to Memo field were lost if a new item was created by drag-and-dropping content or by duplicating the current item before the return key was hit; in some cases the wrong license type was displayed in the registration panel; and in some cases the item Type was indicated to be "unsupported ()." Support was added to allow dragging URL clippings (web Internet location files) onto a ScrapX window, and additional information was added to the Help panel.

Version 1.1.3 Released 04/14/03: fixes a bug in which changing the Memo field of an item did not result in a reminder to save changes.

Version 1.1.2 Released 04/12/03: fixes three bugs: thumbnails did not immediately update when an item was duplicated; the Type field did not immediately update when "Indication for Unsupported Types" was changed in the Preferences panel; and no indication was given when an "Import Classic SB" command failed.

Version 1.1.1 Released 04/10/03: fixes two bugs: scrapbooks created with ScrapIt were grayed out in the Import Classic SB panel, and thumbnails did not immediately update when an item was pasted or deleted.

Version 1.1 Released 04/09/03: an update that adds several new features, including Combined and Thumbnail views. Fixes two bugs: dragging a folder or a folder disguised as a file onto ScrapX 1.0 caused ScrapX to crash, and enlarging an empty scrapbook did not change the size of the Item Window (only the frame area became larger)..

Version 1.0.2 Released 02/23/03: fixes a bug in which stripping of type information could not be performed with duplicated items.

Version 1.0.1 Released 02/21/03: fixes a bug in which files in the .txt or .text format that contain extended characters could not be copied and pasted or drag-and-dropped to a scrapbook.

Version 1.0 Released 02/17/03: the initial release of ScrapX.
