Qt lightScribe / News: Recent posts

After quite some time new release is available:

Items have Z coordinate set to remove ambiguity
Saves from previous versions will have Z coordinate of items reordered on load

dbus config files fixed. qlscribe should work on ubuntu jaunty now.

Not to many changes, but still:

Not too many changes, but this feauture should be usefull:

In documentation read how to create qlscribe label template and embed CDDB data into it. Feedbacks, suggestions and corrections are strongly welcomed.
Enjoy!

Most changes are in interface:
Parameter --image added to print label in console mode into image
Parameter --file added to process file in format KEY=VALUE
Copy/cut/paste added for items in label
Menu rearranged and menu items enabled/disabled based on state
Application icon added

Please give feedback if sometging does not work or should work better.

Feedback is strongly welcomed
amd64 to come

This is pretty big step - application divided into two parts: qlscribe and dbus daemon lscribed. So this provides two benefits:
- qlscribe does not require sticky bit set
- qlscribe can be build as 64 bit

lscribed dbus daemon interacts with lightScribe API, activated by demand and terminates after 5 minutes of inactivity.

Enjoy!

Ubuntu package added. It depends on lightscribe deb which can be downloaded from http://www.lightscribe.org

Enjoy!

Z-order of items saved and resored
Bugfix for not loading radius for round text
Console mode printing implemented
While printing in console mode text can be replaced by application parameter

As nobody reported any new bugs :) I decided to switch project status to beta stage now. So here are changes in this release:
Label mode and background color is added to scene
Added dialog to edit properties (color and mode) of the scene (label)
Scene passes mode to the print dialog
Bug fixes

Enjoy!

This is mostly bugfix release:
Bugfix for crash on writing
CD inner size increased to 25mm on QCDView
Maximum image size increased to 150
Fixed bug with not setting color on round text
Text scaled to 1/2
Fixed bug with missing button "OK" on pixmap edit dialog

Scene detects when item is moved by mouse and changes status to unsaved
On installation sticky bit is set, qlscribe becomes root when burns label
Bugfix on progress dialog crush with empty document printed

Documents keep their names and detect changes (changes on item postion through window
itself is not detected yet)
Main window on close scan all documents and confirm to save changed ones
Document window confirm to save on close

Cheers!

Changes in this release:
Print progress dialog shows elapsed/estimated time
Bugfix for not loading angle in round text item
Image items can be scaled now

Enjoy!

So far very first alpha release 0.1 is available. Small step but we already able to open/safe files (through "save as" though, just save is not implemented yet), insert text/round text/images (images are missing scaling though) and print layout on burner. Download and build instructions to come.
