- been fixed. Users of Windows 3.1, however, will
- not be able to print to PostScript printers.

- fixed. Flipbook cards, their binding width and
- page numbers are now being printed properly based
- upon the settings in the Flipbook Setup dialog.
- -Size to Fit Page has been fixed.
- -Sketchpads of resolution other than 72dpi now print
- correctly.

- page."

- able to run 32-bit plugins and users of Dabbler
- 2.0.4 Windows 3.1 will only be able to run 16-bit
- plugins.
-
- WINDOWS 95 RELATED ISSUES
- -Fixed the Flipbook Controls palette so that the window
- title bar is properly drawn with only the zoom box
- (i.e. removed the blank spot reserved for the close
- box)
- -Fixed the default position of the Flipbook Controls
- palette, basing it on the Application window's menu
- bar height.
- -Fixed various crash bugs related to users clicking the
- close box while certain modal dialogs are open,
- while sessions are playing and while movies
- (flipbooks) are playing. Users will not be able to
- quit out of Dabbler using the close box, if the
- file menu or File:Exit is disabled.
- -In the release version, the Delete key on Win95
- brought up the Export to AVI dialog. This is not
- supposed to happen and therefore this "feature" has
- been removed.
- -Fixed the appearance of the Dabbler splash screen
- -Scanning is not supported under Windows 95 and NT.
-
- MISCELLANEOUS
- -In the Dabbler 2.0 release, if the user was out of
- hard drive space and he tried to exit, he would get
- trapped in a loop of error alerts and save dialogs.
- This has now been fixed.
- -The Spacebar now invokes the Grabber tool like it is
- supposed to. Choosing a brush tool, then the
- stencil tool, and then choosing a brush tool again
- would put the user in a state in which he could not
- draw. This has been fixed.
- -Turning tracing paper on and off would cause users to
- lose their changes on the current page.
- -If the user double-clicks in the File:Open Browser
- dialog before it has completely initialized caused
- Dabbler to hang. This has been fixed.
- -We now return a more informative dialog when the user
- tries to create a sketchpad/flipbook with the same
- name as the currently open sketchpad/flipbook.
- -Fixed the blanking out of the splash screen upon
- launch of Dabbler.
- -Fixed various dialog title mistakes and menu update
- problems.
- -Default the Dabbler.Set file to have No Print Banding
- and No Device Dependent Bitmaps checked. Also made
- sure that in a new settings file, all brushes
- default to the medium size and that the first five
- brushes appear on the front of the drawer.
- -Default to first font in font menu, if Text Tool is
- used before Text Style dialog is accessed.
- -If a paper texture library does not have FSPI icons
- (libraries which were created using Painter's Paper
- Mover), create a DAPI icon from scratch. Fixes
- crash bug.
- -Problems with copy and paste through the Windows
- clipboard have been fixed.
- -A crash bug when loading or saving a file in the
- Browse Sketchpad dialog has been fixed.
