Printoxx Changelog

What's new in Printoxx 2.7

May 17, 2010
  • bugfix: print resolution was increased from 72 to 300 dpi.
  • Frame setup is now saved and restored across sessions.
  • Chinese translation was updated.

New in Printoxx 2.6 (Apr 16, 2010)

  • New function: pack images tightly together when already relatively close.
  • New function: trim the layout to fit the included images exactly.
  • Frame option: make all image frames same as the current image.
  • Force .jpeg extension for saved layout files.
  • Makefile was made more package-builder friendly.

New in Printoxx 2.5 (Mar 23, 2010)

  • Bugfix: locales with comma decimal point caused a segfault.
  • Pass page orientation to print function so user must not re-enter.
  • Use .jpeg intermediate file because .png is too slow.
  • Update layout when print dialog is exited without printing.
  • Add format and layout diagnostics to log file.
  • Add print format A3 to choice list.

New in Printoxx 2.4 (Mar 9, 2010)

  • The layout dimensions can now be set from a print format (letter, A4, etc.) or use custom dimensions.

New in Printoxx 2.3.1 (Feb 11, 2010)

  • Bugfix: printoxx 2.3 was non-functional because of my administrative screwup. My apologies.

New in Printoxx 2.3 (Jan 18, 2010)

  • Printing is now done with a conventional GTK dialog instead of the lp command.

New in Printoxx 2.2 (Jan 11, 2010)

  • The print command "lp -o fitplot ... imagefile.ext" has recently become unreliable (foomatic-rip crashes, -o fitplot is ignored). A workaround was implemented: the print job can be passed to EOG, Gthumb, Gimp or other program (user selected) that uses conventional GTK print utilities. Printoxx will also use GTK in a future release.

New in Printoxx 2.1.1 (Nov 13, 2009)

  • Bugfix: crash if open image gallery after a fresh install.

New in Printoxx 2.1 (Oct 27, 2009)

  • Minor enhancement: support image file drag and drop from the file chooser dialog. Prior method of clicking on the layout is still an alternative.

New in Printoxx 2.0 (Apr 19, 2009)

  • Images and text can now have an arbitrary rotation angle within a layout. Images can optionally have simple frames. The image file selection dialog was simplified: click file, click layout, repeat.

New in Printoxx 1.9 (Feb 24, 2009)

  • Printoxx 1.9 fixes a bug when dragging and dropping files from Nautilus. Non-ascii file names having those strange %xx escape codes were not getting converted to utf-8, causing the drop to fail.

New in Printoxx 1.8 (Jan 6, 2009)

  • Files may now be added via drag and drop from a file manager or other application supporting file drag sourcing.
  • Blocks of text may be added via drag and drop from gedit or other application supporting text drag sourcing.

New in Printoxx 1.7.1 (Dec 6, 2008)

  • image fine-alignment: do 1-pixel movements with keyboard arrow keys
  • translation system converted to use Gnu gettext (the Linux norm)
  • use smaller file select preview image to accomodate small monitors
  • bug fix (1.7.1)
