New version of EulumdatTools 0.9.11.v20121207 released

A new version of EulumdatTools 0.9.11.v20121207 was published on December 7 at http://www.fold1.com/eulumdattools/. Improvements and bug fixes are as follows:

• The application didn't show the right icon on Windows 7
• Saving images did not work on Mac OSX
• There is now a QuickFix to change all lamp designations to proper values defined in converter.lamps
• Several QuickFixes now work entirely in the background, speeding things up considerably.
• All Validation jobs are now cancelled at shutdown, so shutdown is faster.
• The cone diagram now has a "double height" option, providing beam diamter and center beam lux at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 meter heights.
• Fixed slow down by label decorating just after startup.
• Removed excessive logging, speeding things up.
• Allow adding a lamp to an EULUMDAT file with 0 lamps defined,. This is an incorrect condition for a file, but caused an error.

New version of EulumdatTools 0.9.10.v20121130 released

A new version of EulumdatTools 0.9.10.v20121130 was published on November 30th at http://www.fold1.com/eulumdattools/. Improvements and bug fixes are as follows:

• Significant speed improvements in the validator by saving all workspace update events (IWorkspaceRunnable & IResourceProxy) till after update.
• Speed ups in some of the QuickFixes that can be opened from the Problem View by executing them directly in the background instead of opening (too) many editors. This is most notable in the Manufacturers Name quick fix that now performs effortlessly using very large (4000+ files) file sets. Further focus will be on improving all checkers this way.
• Numerous small bug fixes that produced errors.
• EVAL licenses have all options of a FULL license during the trial period, except that most batch operations like conversions and quick fixes are limited to max 20 files. UNLICENSED or EXPIRED users will have no use of the validators at all.
