October 16th,2013 – Publication of ffDiaporama beta 2 (20131015)

The work on the translation and correcting of the last bug on the production of videos in AVI format taking longer than expected, the release of the stable version is postponed for now.
So, I want to introduce a new major evolution not initially planned for this release. This evolution requires many tests, I propose today to test through this new beta release.
This change is an overhaul of the system for managing the threads used when rendering videos. This revision reduces the video rendering time up to 25%.
 
Bug fixes:
  • Fixed display of ffmpeg version in CheckConfig dialog
  • Fixed horizontal scroller of Content zone of the wiki window
  • Fixed splitter of the wiki window size errors
  • Refresh files in multimedia file browser after saving project file
  • Fixed a bug reading jackets odd size in audio files with ffmpeg 2.x
  • Fixed a bug when producing images that slowed calculation (The text processing also applied for empty text)
