The new 36-image converter is approaching its completion, the interface is now up and running. So the framework to insert the new functions is completed, now we can insert the new tools and filetypes. What we are going to do now is insert the new convert engines into the old conversion system and testing this. Then we will probably release a milestone to a limited public for testing and reviewing, mainly to test the interface and the convert functions. In the meanwhile we will insert the new functions like the paint tools for drawing, the erase selection function to erase a specific part of the image, the optional auto-resize function and many more. Then we will release another milestone and create the configuration panel, prepare Dashboard 1.3 for 36-image converter and create an extension manager for the more than 30 input extensions. The final help file will be the last thing that will be added, together with new extension icons. We hope that 36-image converter 4.4 will be completed at the end of August or at the beginning of September.
Here is once again a list of the most important features of version 4.4 (Ninja) :
- More than 20 stable output extensions, including : tif, png, cur, tga, ico, …
- A new HD interface adapted to the touch interface of Windows 7
