Hi,

Yep. The reason was PNM was supported by Qt. Qt gived quick access to many formats, but in the other hand it cannot deal with some
very convenient, like TIFF.
And worst, it cannot handle 16 bps. So, I wrote whole new profiler without using Qt. The program is using direct calls to Win32 API,
no MFC or other GUI library is used.

Of course this mean we have lost PNM and some others, but we have support for Lab, CMYK, 16 bps, even hexachrome separations of 6
inks are supported now in the viewer.
 I suppose these are huge improvements from old profiler.

Regarding WINE. Well, I checked new profiler with all 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP and 2003. All seems to work fine.

Anyone using Windows has experienced such problems?

To select template, first press the pick mode button (the green grid) and then right click on the image. A menu pops up with
"template". Select it and you will got a dialog for template selection.
If the combo doesn't show any template, click in the "..." button and then go to "pickers" folder. There you will find several.

Only reason for question, in lprof 1.09 package pnm format is supported.

Used wine version 20030618, debian kernel 2.4.21-5 sarge with some
unstable packages.
lprof package 1.09 no problems

With the beta1 package some menu display problems, menu won't disappear
when another menu is selected.

When zoom menu is selected, no zoom possible.

With mouse drawing a rectangle on referencetarget.png is possible.
No option seen for the selection which picker template to use.

Rectangle drawing Looks something like with lprof package when no picker
template is selected.
