Hello All,

I see that 18.53 was posted 4 days ago, but don't see any mention of it in Announcements. Anybody have any idea what this update brings to the table?

Thanks!

Best regards,

Hello All,
I see that 18.53 was posted 4 days ago, but don't see any mention of it in Announcements. Anybody have any idea what this update brings to the table?

There is an extended announcement on the German side. I will have to do some work with google translate to figure out what is new in 18.53.

Here is some of the translations from Google Translate. I am not sure it helps much ...

Filter dialogs with preview: pressing ALT with the mouse in the document window the pointer immediately switched on picker

Toolbars in modal dialogs, Mac OS?: were not correctly updated, if you opened the dialog with a click of the mouse

Text layers with wrap, copy: Fixed crash when copying the entire level

Edit vector layers: invisible vector settings (useful for to river level) displays an outline of the hair

Color: Selected colors list no longer with the foreground color, but a color with high contrast

Levels list: Transparency mask: Add and subtract worked not as desired

Channel: channel list mask: Add and subtract worked not as desired

Circles: Better district approach

Deselect: now with every tool possible

Color box, drop-down list: The current color is selected

Layer attributes: Transparency property of images can be activated also by clicking on icon

Thank you. You saved me doing the rest of the items ...

[Alan9940]

Thanks Mike and mwenz, though much of it is not really comprehensible! I find that German and Danish do not translate well with Google translator. I hope the brothers or, maybe, one of the beta testers posts an English version enabling the rest of us to keep up with the changes. I said this before...and I'll keep saying it...lack of information is the most frustrating thing of working and dealing with PL!!

Best regards,

• Raw import, action, Mac OS: An action with 'Paste' as the action step caused a crash

Two weeks ago I posted a thread titled Automatic actions when loading an image and, in that thread I mentioned that one of the actions included with PL caused a crash on my Mac when I used it as an automatic action upon opening raw images. bkh, who I guess is a beta tester, posted an action that took care of the crash and suggested that it might be fixed in the next release. I added some stuff to it and have been using it since then.

When I looked through your translated list of fixes for 18.53 I noticed the last one and wondered if that was addressing my issue so I downloaded and tried it and, sure enough, the problem is gone. When I compare that to how long fixes take with Corel (forever) and Adobe (never) I cannot help but be impressed.
