Thanks for the photo muggins. Fotoxx worked as advertised, ufraw is quite impressive and the photo is nice too! Can't show it to my wife, she'll want to go there to shop.

Cheers, J

Uploaded v8.3.
fotoxx 8.3
DateSep 1, 2009 at 09:34

This release makes improvements in the user interface and fixes one significant and three minor bugs.
+ Select area: insert or move points anywhere around the area during edit.
+ Overlay lines (select area, trim, unbend) are easier to see (reversed color).
+ Implemented both [save] and [save as] buttons:
[save] updates original file with no questions asked.
[save as] is the usual cautious dialog.
+ New KB shortcuts: Ctrl+s: save, Ctrl+S: save as, Ctrl+q: quit.
+ Improved logic for detecting unsaved changes (fewer user queries).
+ Pixel edit and HDF: visible brush outline should aid speed and precision.
+ Bugfix: edit tags + file save lost the tag updates
(but opening a new file would retain them).
+ Bugfix: rotating an image with the L/R keys and then editing would
sometimes result in image distortion (changed width/height ratio).
+ Bugfix: rotate auto-trim was being lost when dialog exited.
+ Bugfix: better recovery if pixel edit undo memory limit is reached.

Uploaded v8.4.
This release focuses on user interface improvements:
+ Slide Show: in addition to KB control, an automatic interval can be set.
+ For lengthy functions, the cursor changes into a clock.
+ Trim: margins are darkened for better visibility. The aspect ratio can be fixed.
+ Index tags and thumbnails: now works incrementally (seconds instead of minutes).
+ Bugfix: unbend function was leaving the axis lines on the window.
+ Bugfix: file save-as was not updating the recent files list.

Hello muggings, I've just moved up to puppy 4.3 from 4.2.1; a clean install not an upgrade. Thanks for the fotoxx update but no entry was set on installation, the installer stated that no entry would be made. :(
By the way an entry was made for your 8.3 version that I had on 4.2.1. Could you help me get that menu entry?
Best, munichjohn, where autumn is with us.

Uploaded v8.6.
fotoxx 8.6
DateOct 13, 2009 at 22:44

An automatic white balance function was added. The success rate for 1-click red-eye removal was raised from 47/54 test cases to 52/54 (drag method is 100% successful but needs more time and care). Convience buttons were added to the HDR final adjustment dialog. A Spanish translation was added for the User Guide "quick guide" section. Bugfix: Image navigation could crash if presented with an empty folder. Bugfix: Zoom-in followed by some edit functions caused the image to be displayed with a false width/height ratio (cosmetic only - edit still worked normally).

fotoxx 8.6.1
DateOct 25, 2009 at 15:19

+ Area edit, blend width: notify user if edge calculation is missing.
+ Ignore mouse click if mouse was moved between button down and button up.
+ Bugfix: pano align, fix small image shift on the right side of the joint (v.8.5).

Uploaded v8.7.

Area selection using the mouse was extended. The user can switch back and forth among three methods: connect lines from point to point using mouse clicks (as before), drag the mouse for freehand line drawing, and click/drag near an edge to follow the edge. Use right click to undo mistakes or right drag to erase lines before re-drawing them.

Color select: calculation of distances for edge blending is faster (still too slow for large areas).

New: copy a selected area from one image and paste anywhere in another.

Bug fixes: the latest Ubuntu (9.10) revealed two new problems so far: A GDK graphic context used by >1 windows can get their sizes mixed-up. The program exiftool no longer accepts a date without a time appended. Fotoxx was adjusted to accept both the new and old behaviors.

Translations are not updated. These will be notified here when available.

Do you have exiftool for using with puppy 4.31. I searched from the forum, but I was able to only find threads about ufraw.

Anykind of information is welcomed.


.... Sorry. Should have taken eye to the hand. The link was also on the first page. Downloaded and all is well.
Thank you of the workable program.

With best regards

Good, simple effects

#48 Post by drongo »

Thankyou muggins,

I just tried this for the first time. i can't believe how easy this makes commonly required transforms such as rotation and cropping. The art transform tools are going to save me a heap of time with a current project.

@ emil,

Open a console and type "fotoxx" (without quotes)

I don't get a menu entry either but I think this may be a feature of later Puppies. think I read this in one of the four pages on this topic but the Forum is too slow to check now.
