Qimage One macOS Change Log

– Fixed a bug where the print job was not named correctly when using the first print’s image file name when the print was on a photo mat.

– Fixed a bug where some controls in the cropping window were not displaying correctly.

– Fixed a bug where repeatedly opening and closing the cropping window when using mm caused the values in the test strip full print size controls to grow geometrically.

– Qimage One v2026 includes a workaround for a bug introduced in the Apple API for macOS Tahoe. This Apple bug causes some image files without HDR data to be treated as HDR and the image file is not processed correctly resulting in a solid black bitmap. Qimage One uses an alternate method for reading image files on macOS Tahoe to work around this problem.

– Updated the Deep Focus Sharpening algorithm to version 2. This version of the print sharpening improves even further over the existing sharpening to improve print clarity and definition.

– Updated the cropping window to improve cropping functionality. This includes changing the selection color, being able to reset the crop and restore the default crop, define an exact crop by left, right, width and height, and adding support for defining a test strip which matches the original print size.

– Added a new button to the Prints tab which opens the cropping window when pressed.

– The expanded/collapsed state of the folder tree control in the Thumbs tab is now saved between sessions. The previously selected thumb folder will be selected by default.

– Added a new preference to define how long thumb names are truncated.

– Modified the print job and printer settings windows to display truncated versions of names which are too long to fit in the table.

– Adjusted the background color of the Qimage One application in light mode to work around an Apple bug which caused check box buttons to be invisible.

– Fixed a conflict where the Enter key in the Printer Settings tab was opening the Edit Media Sizes window instead of its intended use which is to apply the custom media size.

– Fixed a bug where some thumb tiles were being duplicated on newer versions of macOS when starting with the application window maximized.

– Fixed a resource management bug for some Multi Panel Print jobs.

– Fixed a bug where the Qimage One share extension was not always correctly exporting and opening image files in Qimage One. This affected third party apps such as Apple Photos as well as the Qimage One File > Open File(s) menu item and dragging files onto the Qimage One application.

– Fixed a bug where the effective PPI of a print was miscalculated when the print had an outside border.

– Fixed an alignment issue in the full screen image viewer when using multiple screens.

– Added a Show Change Log button to the About window. Clicking this button will display the macOS change log for
Qimage One on the binartem.com web site.

– Fixed a bug where changing some printer settings could trigger a recalculation of the layout at a smaller,
intermediate media size and result in some prints being incorrectly shrunk.

– Added a new pop-up button above the Media Size button in the Printer Settings. This button contains three options – All Sizes, Filtered and Custom. The first two options replace the radio buttons which were previously above the Media Size button. The third option (Custom) allows the user to list only those media types they will be using. Clicking on the Edit Media Sizes button to the right of the dropdown displays the list of media sizes from the printer driver. The user can then select only those media sizes they want to see. This feature makes it easier and faster to see and select only those media sizes which are of interest. As with the previous Filtered option, when the Custom option is selected, only the custom media sizes will be displayed regardless of which printer is selected. However, each printer can have its own independent list of custom media sizes defined.

– Added a new print size called One Dimension. Selecting this print size allows the user to add new prints or resize prints so that all of the prints have the same short or long dimension.

– Added support for selecting a user-defined folder when searching for ICC printer profiles. The user can switch between the default location for ICC profiles on macOS and their own custom folder.

– Added a color well control to the ICC profiles window to allow the user to define the color to be used for the out of gamut color when rendering a soft proof.

– The add button on thumb nails will now reverse color when that thumb’s image is present in the current layout. This provides an easy way for the user to track which thumbs have already been added to the print job in cases where there are many thumbs or thumbs which look similar.

– Added a new cut mark which draws grid lines at the midpoints between prints. This type of mark had been requested by users with prints arranged in a grid pattern.

– Qimage One has been built with the latest version of the Little Color Management System (LCMS) open source color management library, version 2.17.

– Fixed a bug where the Qimage One preferences could not be opened when the Printer Settings and Prints tab were both open at the same time.

– Improved display and handling of file paths in the Print to File window.

– Improved display and handling of file paths in the Manage Disk Usage window.

– Improved user interaction in the panels grid of the Multi Panel Prints window.

– Fixed some general display issues where zero measure values were sometimes prefixed with a ‘-‘ character.

– Added a new print size called Fit to Margins. This size provides a convenient way for the user to add a print to the paper by defining the space between the print and the paper’s edge. When Fit to Margins is selected, the Set Margins window will be displayed to the user. Once the margins are set, the selected images will be added to the print job using the margins defined and with Auto Crop turned ON. These margins will be applied to the whole print job and may affect other prints already in the layout.

– Improved the user interaction with floating text to make it easier to select and move text around. Clicking in the text field itself now selects text, as does clicking on the selection handle to move text on the Live View.

– Added Special Text substitutions which are available in print annotations as well as floating text linked to a print. When editing text, a Special Text window displays the available substitutions. These include: print number, file name, file name and extension, full file path, folder name, date and time, date, time, camera model, focal length, aperture, shutter speed, print resolution/ISO, flash, page number, printer name, media type, ICC color profile and print size.

– Added a new menu item to the View menu called Included File Types. Clicking on this menu item opens a window where the user can select which image file types Qimage One will display. This allows the user to filter image file types and include only file types they intend to print.

– When Qimage One becomes the active application it will check to see if images in the current folder have changed. If it detects files have been added, removed, or modified, it will automatically refresh the thumbs to reflect the current folder contents.

– Added a new preference to automatically remove all pages from the print job after printing is complete. This preference is OFF by default and can be turned on via the Qimage One > Preferences menu item.

– Fixed a bug where Print to File was not always setting the correct pixels per inch resolution in the output image file.

– Fixed a bug where loading a print job which was Print to File, would not correctly update the Live View after finishing loading.

– Fixed a bug where using the command-delete shortcut, would not reduce the number of pages in the print job to one after removing all prints.

– Fixed a bug where entering the same value to move selected print(s) left/right or up/down was ignored.

– Modified the Qimage One build settings to avoid a warning message in macOS Sequoia that Qimage One was trying to access other apps.

– Added a workaround for a problem with macOS Sonoma incorrectly drawing thumb slides.

– Fixed a bug, where setting the Left and Top position of prints when using Print to File, was incorrectly applying margins from the previously selected paper size.

– Added a new print position feature which can center the selected print(s) in one half or one quarter of the paper. For prints that are inside photo mats, the print(s) will be centered within one half or one quarter of the photo mat.

– Added new print size ordering functionality. Print sizes can now be ordered by size or name, in ascending or descending order. Two new buttons under the list of print sizes allows for quick access to this new feature.

– Added a new option to the Qimage One Preferences to use the thumb version of an image when cropping large image files. This is OFF by default. When a print associated with a large image is selected to have a custom crop applied, a message will ask the user if they want to enable this option before cropping. This can make it faster to perform custom cropping of large images.

– One new feature of photo mats is the ability to size a mat by dragging the edges. This increase or decreases only one dimension, since the mat is not fixed to a print size, and has no requirement to maintain aspect ratio. This feature has also been extended to templates. This allows the user to interactively size templates on the Live View and easily design custom layouts.

– The ability to filter print job names by typing in the name field has been extended to both printer settings and custom layouts.

– Fixed a bug where floating text color selection could sometimes change the page background color by mistake.

– Fixed a bug where custom margin sizes defined in the driver were not always being updated in Qimage One.

– Updated the Qimage One Adobe plug-ins to work with all current versions of Photoshop, Elements, and Lightroom.

– Added a Units button under the Live View. This button provided an easier way to switch between using inches and mm.

– Added support and workarounds for the latest version of macOS, Sonoma 14.2.

– When opening the Unclog Pattern window, the Auto Roll Length state is disabled. This is to avoid inconsistencies in the layout when defining new unclog patterns. When the Unclog Pattern window is closed, the previous state of Auto Roll Length is restored.

– Fixed a bug where copying print jobs, custom layouts or printer settings using the Qimage One user-interface could fail to make a copy.

– Added an alert message when the user attempts to load Printer Settings when a Custom Layout is being used for the placement method. This action is not permitted.

– When entering a name containing the ‘/’ character, for saving printer settings, print jobs, or custom layouts, the user is now prompted to change the name. The ‘/’ character can not be used because this is interpreted as a subfolder by macOS.

– Updated Qimage One to warn for the use of user-defined printing presets in macOS Ventura and Sonoma. Printer presets prevent Qimage One from making changes to the driver settings.

– Added a warning message for users of macOS Ventura, concerning the bugs in the Apple printing system, and how to avoid them. This message will be displayed when printing and opening the printer driver, and can be suppressed once viewed.

– Minor fixes and improvements made to improve stability.

– Added a message to confirm registration when Qimage One is first installed.

– The Qimage One Export folder is now created by the package installer. This avoids an error message when running the Qimage One plug-in from Lightroom before the Qimage One application has been run.

– Added a fix where loading a custom layout in macOS Ventura would not set the custom paper size correctly.

– Fixed a bug where Qimage One was sometimes calculating an incorrect print rotation when making a square crop from a portrait image.

– Updated the Qimage One Adobe plug-ins to support problematic image file names, and to modify the warning message when files could not be exported.

– Removed the warning about no printers being installed since the Print to File printer is always available. Displaying the warning on macOS Ventura was causing instability.

– Fixed a general problem with message boxes in older versions of OS X.

– Added a workaround for macOS Ventura where the message warning of no printers installed was not being displayed.

– Added a workaround for macOS Ventura where custom paper sizes were not being set correctly in the driver.

– Fixed a bug where the user-defined image crop was not preserved when changing the crop.

– Added a new Print Info option called Media & Color. This print information will be the same for each print in the job. It is a useful way to record what color options were used, and can be helpful when comparing different choices when printing. The data that will be printed is: printer name, media type, ICC profile name, rendering intent, black point compensation, and sharpening.

– Added a View > Grid Color menu item. Clicking this item presents a color panel which allows the user to select the color of the grid lines on the Live View.

– When no prints are selected, the status bar under the Live View will display the sizes of the margins for the current paper size.

– Ensured applicable border controls are enabled and disabled depending on the border type selected.

– Modified the Dark Appearance option to operate more consistently with newer versions of macOS.

– When Qimage One starts it will now check for a change in the operating system version. If it detects such a change it will prompt the user to update their printer drivers in System Preferences. This helps avoid problems where printer drivers are removed, modified, or replaced by macOS during a major operating system update.

– Fixed a bug where unfilled templates in the print job would trigger a low PPI warning message when clicking the Print button.

– Fixed a bug where changing a print’s top/left position could trigger changing the print size to Fit to Page in some circumstances.

– Fixed a condition where landscape images being dragged onto landscape templates on a Freehand page were being flipped upside-down.

– Fixed a bug where, after printing an unclog pattern, the correct number of pages in the layout were not restored in the controls under the Live View.

– Fixed a bug where saving the current job as a custom layout was shrinking the size of the expected template when the print it was based upon had an outside border and Auto Crop was on.

– Added a new menu item to the Thumbs context menu to rebuild thumbs. When right-clicking on the Thumbs tab, the menu appears and a user can quickly have all thumbs in the folder rebuilt.

– Improved the layout and readability of controls and labels in the Unclog Pattern window.

– Pressing the Enter key when using the Cropping Window acts the same as clicking the Close button.

– In the Full Screen Image Viewer, pressing the Enter or Escape key will close the view. Pressing the left arrow key will move to the previous image. Pressing the right arrow or space key will move to the next image.

– When clicking on the Add New Print size button, the width and height fields will be pre-filled with the width and height of the first selected print. This provides an easy way for the user to add the current print size to the list, for example, when a print was manually resized by the user.

– Improved the filtering of similar paper sizes for multiple drivers.

– Resolved a change where activation of Qimage One from an Adobe plug-in would not also display the exported folder if Qimage One was minimized to the dock.

– Fixed a bug where cut marks and text labels could be misaligned with some configurations.

– Fixed bugs in the color management system which were affecting the soft proof and accuracy of print border colors.

– Fixed a bug where the thumbs context menu was not selecting all thumbs as expected.

– Added a Canvas Shrink Adjustment value to the printer settings, along with a calculator button to help account for shrinkage when printing to canvas media. When this value is set, all pages will be stretched by the user-defined percentage, so that the final printed canvas will be the correct size.

– Added the ability for the user to define the Qimage One user data folder, which is used to store data exported from other application, print jobs, and thumbnail files. The data folder can be changed from the History > Manage Disk Usage menu item. The change takes effect immediately. Qimage One still stores some application and user data in the default location, but the user data folder contains data which may need to be managed because of the space it occupies on the disk.

– Added a color well control adjacent to the Cut Marks option to control the color of user-defined cut marks. The cut mark color is black by default and is stored along with the print job.

– Added a workaround for image files with an illegal shutter speed set to zero. This was causing Qimage One to crash. The shutter speed for these files is now omitted from the EXIF data.

– The correct EXIF image resolution is now written to TIFF and JPEG files exported using Print to File.

– Fixed a problem involving macOS Monterey, where Qimage One did not always respond as expected when print sizes were selected to add new prints, or resize existing prints.

– Fixed a bug where overwriting existing user-defined printer settings or print jobs was not updating the file stamp on the directory. This was causing updated settings and jobs to not be displayed correctly when arranged by date.

– Added a new feature where floating text can be added to a page. The Floating Text controls are at the bottom of the Prints tab. New floating text can be added using the + button in the controls, or by selecting the new Add Floating Text menu item from the Live View context menu, or by using the keyboard shortcut shift-command-T. Each piece of floating text can have its own alignment, font height and color, rotation angle, shadow color and depth defined, using the Floating Text controls. Text can be added directly to a page, or linked to a print. Linking is implied if text is added with a print selected. Text can be linked to a print after adding, by selecting both the print and text (using the command key) and then clicking on the link button in the Floating Text controls. More than one piece of text can be linked to each print. Linked text will move, size and rotate with the print. A thin line drawn from floating text to a print indicates that the print and text are linked together. Text can be selected by clicking on the anchor point in the top left corner. The anchor will turn blue when selected. With text selected, changes to the Floating Text controls will modify the selected floating text(s). Floating text is saved with print jobs and can be added to templates and Custom Layouts.

– Added a Thumb Sort submenu to the View menu. The menu items of the sub menu allow sorting the thumb files in ascending or descending order of file name, type, or modification date.

– Modified the thumbs history drop down to truncate the head of folder names so that it is easier to see which folder is being selected.

– Long file names displayed under thumbs now have the head truncated so that it is easer to see which image file is being selected.

– When rebuilding thumbs, any prints on the Live View which reference that thumb, are now automatically rebuilt as well.

– Added a warning message when printing short Auto Roll Length jobs which may not meet the minimum roll length requirements of the printer. Attempting to print shorter then the minimum may result in truncated printing and other unpredictable results.

– Added a new preference to control whether Qimage One automatically checks for a software update when the application starts.

– Added support for changes to Apple AirPrint drivers which changed the way that media types were defined. This fixes the case where incorrect media type data was displayed in Qimage One.

– Modified all message boxes to have a better, more natural layout than the new Big Sur style, including maintaining the main application appearance.

– Fixed a bug where some small prints were printed incorrectly when the source image was significantly downscaled.

– Fixed a bug where the print info sometimes still contained the export index.

– Modified minor user-interface elements to improve the look of Qimage One on macOS Big Sur.

– Modified the controls to set print positions. In addition to setting absolute position on the paper, a relative position can be set, moving all the prints by the same amount. Directions right and down are positive, while left and up are negative values.

– Added a new Cut Mark option called Fold Marks. This option draws a one quarter inch thin line from the outside edge of the print, aligned with the print edge ignorning borders, at eac corner.

– Improved the method for querying the system about the availability of ICC profiles.

– Modified the warning dialog about custom presets so that it can be suppressed.

– Added a preference to control whether the [Template] thumb is shown or hidden.

– Print information displayed underneath prints now automatically strips the prefix index number shown in brackets. This index number is added when images are exported to Qimage One.

– Improved the interpolation performance when downsampling with a large difference in resolution between the source image and the print size.

– Modified the Qimage One Lightroom plugin to adapt to newer settings from Adobe.

– Fixed a bug where a custom layout created from a square print was changing the rotation.

– Fixed a bug where adding prints to the Live View in Freehand placement mode was sometimes creating a new page.

– Fixed a bug where setting the Top or Left value of prints explicitly in Auto Roll Length mode corrupted the print sizes. When the Top or Left values are now set in Auto Roll Length mode Qimage One automatically switches from Auto Roll Length to Freehand mode, which is required.

– Fixed a bug where selecting from a filtered list of jobs in the Load Print Job window could select the wrong print job.

– Changed the Image Rotation Lock button to an Auto Rotate button with the opposite logic. When auto rotate is turned on, prints can rotate. When it is off, they will maintain the same orientation as the source image. The Auto Rotate button also displays the rotation state of any selected print. This change was to make auto rotation closer to the functionality of Auto Crop.

– Added a new Freehand placement method. Unlike the automatic placement methods, all pages and prints are set to freehand by default. To support adding prints to pages other than the first, the Live View context menu now includes an Insert Page menu item. Also, clicking on the Next Page icon will prompt the user whether to add a blank page at the end of the job. Each print job can only contain at most one blank page for the purposes of placing new prints.

– Added a new thumb called [Template]. Adding this thumb creates a place holder in the layout which behaves the same way as a print except it does not reference an image file. Thumbs can be dragged onto Templates and assume its characteristics. This makes it easy to define the templates first and then select images to add.

– Added a new Custom Layout placement mode. This mode supports saving pages of templates as a custom layout, which can then be loaded and filled with thumbs. In Custom Layout mode, simply adding a thumb, or thumbs, will fill in the next available template. New pages are added as needed. Custom layouts can be mixed together. When deleting a print in Custom Layout mode, the template is left in place so it can be reused. Even in Custom Layout mode, the user is free to customize each page as required.

– Added another Print Info option to display the full path to the image file name.

– Added Cut, Copy and Paste menu items to the Edit menu, for use with text fields in Qimage One.

– The current number of print copies, Auto Crop state, Auto Rotate state, and Borders parameters are now saved and loaded with job files. This enables returning Qimage One to the same state as when the job was saved.

– Changed the behavior of the + button on the thumbnails. If + is clicked on a selected thumb all selected thumbs are added. If + is clicked on a deselected thumb, only that thumb is added.

– Fixed a bug where prints on freehand pages with print info enabled were not the correct height.

– Fixed a bug where the text on the unclog pattern was not readable on macOS Catalina.

– Added violet as a color option to the unclog pattern definitions, to support new printers with violet color cartridges.

– Fixed a bug where program settings were not always being saved when exiting Qimage One.

– Stopped the function which automatically deletes temporary files from running when Qimage One is minimized to the dock.

– Fixed a bug in the soft proofing module.

– Fixed a bug where after searching for a print in a previous print job, the sheet for loading and saving print jobs would not reset correctly until Qimage One was restarted.

– Added an Out of Gamut option to the soft proof controls. When Out of Gamut is checked, the soft proof will flag all colors in the soft proofed image which can not be accurately recreated using the selected ICC profile.

– Added new menu items to the Thumbs and Prints context menus to show all previous print jobs that contain the selected thumb/print, or all previous print jobs that contain any image from the selected thumb/print folder.

– Added a new menu item to the main window Edit menu and Prints context menu called Reset Saved Print Crops. This menu item allows saved print crops to be reset for the selected print(s), all prints in the current job, or all prints.

– Fixed a bug where prints placed at the original image size with an inside border were being incorrectly sized when first placed.

– Fixed a bug where some auto saved print jobs could not be loaded if they contained certain characters.

– Fixed a bug where some prints were bing truncated in soft proof mode.

– Fixed a bug which was causing Qimage One to crash for some large source images and print sizes.

– Fixed a bug where the demo version might display a blank window.

– Added an option to the Manage Disk Usage sheet to allow the deletion of previous print job files. Deletion can be by date, and optionally when Qimage One prints an unclog pattern or exits.

– Added controls to the Printer Settings tab which control the size of the ideal gap between prints and if that gap should be enforced. The gap settings can be used with all layout modes, including Auto Roll Length. It is particularly useful for controlling exact spacing between prints on the page, or for arranging prints on a grid.

– Added controls to the Preferences to support naming jobs either by date and time (the default) or by the first name of the print in the job. Also added a control to automatically save a copy of all print jobs (on by default). A new preference was also added to use the image thumb file for soft proof when the image file is large, and could take time to calculate.

– Modified the folder history popup menu to support defining folders as sticky. These folders will always be displayed first before all other recently visited folders.

– Added a right-click context menu to the thumbs view. The menu supports selection and deselection of all thumbs, and deletion of selected image files.

– Fixed a bug where the message to update ICC profile settings when exiting soft proof mode was sometimes displaying more than once.

– Added column headers to the tables in the Load and Save Print Job and Load and Save Printer Settings dialogs. Clicking on these headers permits sorting of jobs and stored printer settings by description or date.

– Fixed a bug where a combination of Auto Roll Length, Print Information and Metric units could cause unexpected behavior.

– Holding the shift key when starting Qimage One will perform the same function as selecting Reset Program Settings. This can be helpful when changes to drivers have caused an inconsistency with Qimage One and the program encounters problems when starting.

– Fixed a bug where some controls were clipped when both the Printer Settings and Prints tabs were visible at the same time.

– Fixed a bug where a combination of Auto Roll Length, Print Information and Metric units could cause invalid layouts and unexpected behavior.

– Modified Qimage One to not print Print Information on unclog jobs.

– Fixed a bug where soft proof simulated paper white was not drawing correctly when Corner Marks were enabled.

– Added a new Cut Mark option called ‘Corner marks’. Corner marks is the reversal of the Crop Marks option. Marks face inwards towards the print. This option is useful for prints with white borders which are arranged in Intellicut mode or on borderless media.

– Added a new Preferences menu item to the Qimage One menu. This menu item opens a Preferences sheet. Preferences are preserved between Qimage One sessions and are independent of printer settings. The supported preferences are:

a) To display advanced Print Resolution settings, which include Overdrive [1200/1440], Medium [200/240], and Low [150/180]. These resolutions are not commonly needed since they either require more system resources with little difference in output (Overdrive), or produce a lower quality image (Medium/Low). These options have been provided to give more flexibility in print output. The default Print Resolution for unverified printer settings will remain at Max [600/720]. This option is off by default.

b) To automatically switch between the Printer Settings and Prints tabs depending on what the user is doing in Qimage One at the time. For instance – switching to the Prints tab when a thumb is selected in preparation for selecting print size, number of copies, etc. This option is on by default.

c) Select whether the Printer Settings or Prints tab is displayed when Qimage One starts. The default choice is to display the Printer Settings tab.

– Selecting a Cut Mark option now correctly exits soft proof mode if it is active. The Paper White soft proof option is now correctly drawn before cut marks in soft proof mode.

– Fixed a bug related to processing very large image files, greater than 2GB in size.

– Updated the installer package to be more compatible with macOS Catalina.

– Updated the description of rendering intent labels in the ICC color profile selection dialog.

– Improved the efficiency of the soft proof preview for very large image files.

– Qimage One Dark Appearance now supports Apple Dark Mode in all dialogs, including system open, printer driver, and print dialogs.

– Improved the interface with some Epson drivers which use duplicate paper source names. Paper sources with the same name (but with different properties) were casuing communication problems between Qimage One and the Epson driver. Qimage One now appends the driver defined index of the paper source to the name. This enables selecting of the correct paper source in Qimage One or the driver while maintaining consistency between both.

– Added support for new Epson printer driver heads which use multiples of 300 dpi rather than the expected 360 dpi for Epson printers.

– Added a new Reset Hidden Warning Messages menu item to the Help menu. When this menu item is selected, Qimage One will reset the state of all previously hidden warning messages. This can be useful if Qimage One does not seem to be performing as expected, perhaps because the warning related to the operation is not being displayed.

– Added a button to the ICC Profile selection windows called ‘Sort by Suggested’. When pressed the list of available ICC profiles will be intelligently ordered to match the current selection of printer and media type. In addition, the top ICC profile in the list will be automatically selected. This enables the user to quickly identify and select the most appropriate profile based on the printer and media type being used.

– Updated some links to binartem.com web pages.

– Fixed a bug where some invalid combinations of print size and borders were causing Qimage One to crash.

– Added a fix for some Epson drivers which are encoding non alphanumerical characters in the driver for media type and paper source.

– Improved the interface with some Epson drivers which use duplicate media type names. Media types with the same name (but with different properties such as matte/photo back ink) were causing communication problems between Qimage One and the Epson driver. Qimage One now appends the driver defined index of the media type to the name. This enables selecting of the correct media type in Qimage One or the driver while maintaining consistency between both.

– Modified various message boxes to included a check box to choose not to see the same message box again.

– Modified the Intellispace layout mode to not center horizontally since this can be achieved using the Intellicenter layout mode.

– Added a Rulers menu item to the View menu. When enabled, this option displays a ruler along the top and left side of the Live View.

– Added a Grid menu item to the View menu. When enabled, dashed grid lines at 0.5 inches or 10 mm are displayed on the Live View. The grid may indicate higher spacing for large sheet or roll paper.

– Added a Snap menu item to the View menu. This menu item provides a submenu to set the snap to OFF, 1/2 “, 1/4″ and 1/8 ” if using inches, or 10 mm, 5 mm and 1 mm if using metric units. When prints are moved on a Freehand page the closest corner to the click point will snap to the measurement defined. Prints being resized using a drag will snap to the closest horizontal or vertical point depending on which side of the print the drag operation is happening.

– Session settings now auto save when a scheduled unclog pattern is printed. This ensures that Qimage One will not attempt to print a missed schedule when restarting, if it was closed abnormally and unable to save information about the last printed pattern.

– Fixed a bug where switching between imperial and metric units did not correctly save changes made to the print sizes.

– Modified the way unverified printer settings are made for Epson printer drivers, since some drivers were not displaying the correct settings in the printer dialog.

– Modified the warning message that the Qimage One Adobe plugin could not be installed to provide more explicit instructions to the user.

– Added an option to the Manage Disk Usage dialog to apply the user-defined delete operation after every unclog pattern schedule. This enables temporary files to be periodically deleted even if Qimage One is left running for extended periods to perform the unclog schedules.

– Modified the thumb generation to ignore folder names which were named with image file extensions, and which were being treated as image files.

– Modified the date time stamps of print jobs, unclog pattern print jobs, share jobs, and export folders to match the current locale of the macOS system.

– Added a check so that illegal values could not be entered for the width and height of a custom paper size.

– Fixed a problem where first deleting an unclog pattern’s name and then immediately deleting the pattern could cause the unclog patterns to become corrupted.

– Fixed a bug where some auto cropped images opened in the cropping editor for the first time would have an incorrect crop displayed.

– Setting a custom paper size when using metric units is now converted to inches for the printer driver. This maintains the correct size in both Qimage One and the driver.

– Modified Qimage One so that it will activate and display exported image files even when minimized to the dock.

– Modified the format of the next unclog schedule date in the Unclog Pattern window to reflect the current locale.

– If the unclog scheduler detects that the last scheduled print job was not able to be printed (because Qimage One was not running) it will attempt to print the last scheduled unclog pattern again when possible.

– Modified the format of the next unclog schedule date on the Printer Settings tab to reflect the current locale.

– If an unclog schedule is running when Qimage One is closed, a warning dialog will be presented. The dialog reminds the user that the schedule is running and asks them to confirm if they want to exit.

– Added new menu items to the File menu: Load Print Job and Save Print Job. These two menu items are similar to loading and saving printer settings, but also include the pages, prints, borders, layout and auto-sort settings. This permits the user to save a complete print job and load it at a later date to make an accurate recreation of the print job in the future.

– When a print job is run, it will be automatically saved, and available for loading at a later date.

– Added the modification date to the list of user-defined printer settings in the Printer Settings dialog.

– Added paper orientation and sharpen values to the manual and automatic print settings load and
save mechanisms.

– Crop marks are now drawn in soft proof mode.

– Added support for putting borders around each print. Both an inner and outer border can be defined, including color and width. In addition, the inner border can be set to Canvas Mirror or Canvas Stretch to support canvas prints.

– Added a feature to detect when the Qimage One window is not tall enough to display all tabs at the same time and auto arrange them.

– Fixed a bug where the setting to automatically delete thumb and export files on exit was not always being correctly applied.

– Fixed a bug where the demo version was not always installing Adobe plugins.

– Added a check if the Adobe product Plug-ins directory is read only. This prevents Qimage One from installing the Qimage One Adobe plugin. Qimage One displays a warning message to the user if this happens, with instructions on how to correct it.

– Added a check box to the Manage Disk Usage dialog to automatically run the user-defined delete operation every time Qimage One exits.

– Qimage One now automatically removes non-existent directories from the History drop-down. This check is performed when the history is deleted or Qimage One exits.

– Modified the page layout algorithm so that if prints can not be centered close to the center of the paper, they will be placed at the center of the printable page area instead.

– Added a new Soft Proof / Print Preview mode accessible below the Live View. This mode allows the user to display the current page in high resolution, with the selected ICC color profile options applied. Rendering intent, black point compensation and paper white can be adjusted under the Live View. Each combination of settings is cached for quick comparison.

– Image files or a folder can now be dragged from Finder onto the Live View or the Thumbs Tab. Qimage One will treat the drag operation the same as if the files or folder had been opened using the menu items.

– Improved printing of images which are downsampled to a lower resolution.

– Added a third layout option, Intellicenter, which will always center prints vertically, even on roll
paper.

– Fixed a problem where system color profiles could not be properly loaded in some cases.

– Added buttons to the User Printer Settings dialog to enable the user to copy, delete or rename user printer settings.

– Added a new drop down to the Printer Settings tab which controls drawing cut marks. The three options are OFF, Crop Marks (corners) or Guide Lines. These marks will show up on the Live View, the print preview and the final print as a fine line to aid with cutting the paper.

– Fixed a bug where printer settings could get out of sync and cause color variations in prints.

– Fixed hotkeys which were not all working on the Live View context menu.

– Selecting color management off, or a custom color profile, will now gray out and disable the Color Matching controls in the driver.

– Removed the driver dialog helper window and associated menu item since they are no longer needed.

– Fixed a bug where some Fit to Paper prints were being resized skew when changing Paper Source or
Print Resolution.

– Added checks, when the user goes to print, that the correct color management settings in the driver match the options selected in the Qimage One user interface.

– Fixed a bug where some Fit to Paper prints were being resized skew when changing Paper Source or Print Resolution.

– Added checks, when the user goes to print, that the correct color management settings in the driver match the options selected in the Qimage One user interface.

– Added a warning dialog which is displayed when a custom media size is defined with width greater than height. This indicates the printer may not be able to print on that size paper.

– Changed the color of text in the Registration dialog to black when using the light color scheme to make it easier to read.

– Added filtering of unsupported RAW and image file formats to prevent Qimage One from crashing when trying to generate thumbnails.
