Recent UnAnnounced Version 0.9.7.0.1.0

October 11, 2010

Fix: crash on media list when copy files canceled.

Augmented: if a record has media pictures, they can be toggled to show in the timeline (interactive) window behind the timeline (or circle): select menu item “Options > Pic on Timeline” in interactive timeline window.  They are not copied to clipboard or saved with pic of timeline (or circle).  No documentation update.

Current Version 0.9.7.0.1.0.1

October 16, 2010

Augmented: media pictures on timeline may be shown either centered in the timeline window or displayed in a user defined rectangle within the timeline graph.  Media pictures’ transparency may be altered when shown in the timeline.  See program's "Help General" window for details (search for media).  Said media pics can now be copied to clipboard with timeline, see edit menu, second Copy item, the one with choices.  A few other minor fixes.  Note, last two versions won’t make much difference if you do not link pictures to your timeline records.  Read Me file now incorporated into program under Help menu; Help menu should no longer duplicate itself.
