Beta 3 is out

Beta 3 has now been released. It comes closer and closer to a version 1.3 release, but unfortunately I will not have much time to work on it the next week or two.

Beta 3 has a few nag fixes and some usability enhancement. It includes a pre-release of the next Cat-Photo 1.6 standard, that includes support for orientation of pictures. The idea is, that the HTML generator software will rotate the pictures automatically, and the the Windows tool will display the pictures in the correct orientation, without modifying the original files. That is very important, because a JPEG file cannot be rotated without quality loss, and Exif tags would probably get lost.

This version uses an .ini file, that is automatically generated in the same directory as catphoto.exe is placed. If you are using the software on a multi-user system, such as NT Terminal server or Linux/Wine, the multiusr.ini file, that is also generated, can be used to move the ini file for each user to a different location. See prog.pas for the source-code on this.
