What's new in PatternGenerator 1.5

Sep 9, 2014
  • Bug fixes:
  • Bug: The program failed to detect the modification of an open document by another program.
  • Bug: After cancelling an attempt to close a document with the Close button ('X' icon) of the document's tab, the Close button became unresponsive.

New in PatternGenerator 1.3 (Sep 28, 2013)

  • Bug fixes:
  • Bug: If some kinds of exception occurred when the program was exiting, the program was prevented from exiting normally.
  • Bug: If the general.showUnixPathnames configuration property was true, the user's home directory at the start of a pathname was not replaced with "~" when the pathname was displayed.
  • Other changes:
  • The default directory for the configuration file under Windows has been changed from %USERPROFILE%\.blankaspect\patternGenerator to %APPDATA%\blankaspect\patternGenerator, where %USERPROFILE% and %APPDATA% are system environment variables. (The default directory for the configuration file under Linux/UNIX is unchanged.) If you are updating PatternGenerator and you want to keep your old configuration, you should move the old configuration file to the new directory.
  • There is now an installer that can be used to install the contents of the executable distribution to user-specified directories. The installer will replace any existing file that has the same name as an installed file except for a configuration file, whose properties will be preserved if they conflict with the properties of the new file.
  • A value of zero is now allowed for the configuration properties pattern.numSlideShowThreads.pattern1, pattern.numSlideShowThreads.pattern2 and pattern1.numRenderingThreads. In all cases, a value of zero means that the number of threads will be set to the number of processors that are available to the system.
  • A document can no longer be closed by clicking the right mouse button on the Close button of a tab of the tabbed panel of the main window.
