Update Available - Version 8.0.442

An update is available to Version 8.0.442 (3-Aug-2024)
Download Link: https://www.dl-c.com/Downloads.html

The changes (taken from the update log) are:

Monochrome Transformation: added a Change control to Hue Curve conversion method. This lets you make the brightness change either proportional to the saturation of the color being changed or not.

Fixed problem with scrolling via mouse wheel when current image was bypassed (or a splitter or side branch).

For top-level transformations other than File Open, you can now assign a default File Save pathname and file type. When saving images downstream from the top-level transformation (such as Paste or File/New), this default pathname and file type will be assumed and the filename assigned a version number, similar to what happens if the top-level transformation is a File Open. To access this command, right click on the thumbnail of the top-level transformation and select the command from the File sub-menu to either set or clear the default File Save pathname. These two commands only appear in the File submenu for top-level transformations other than File Open. When entering a pathname, leave off the filename extension as this is automatically added based on the file type.

Updated to latest LibRaw.dll – the library used by PWP to read Raw files.

Updated ExifTool to version 12.92.

File can be saved, just without EXIF data.

Seems to work after a 'repair' re-installation... (can confirm that a 'repair' re-installation works. Had to do this on two computers (1 Win10 and 1 Win11)

Did you do a full install or just update the exe file?

The Exiftool installation process was updated recently so I had to change the files bundled with PWP. Without a full install you would get errors.

Assuming you did a full install, it looks like I may be omitting some file that is required.

[MarkT]

It was a full download/install.

Offhand, everything looks OK -- don't know what could have caused the message. I did see it here the first time I installed the new version, but have not been able to reproduce it.

[MarkT]

After a 'repair' re-installation it all seems fine, all EXIF data is saved.

DId a full install. I am seeing the problem consistently - immediately after install, upon closing PWP and re-starting it, and after rebooting my system.

Here's the JPEG Options window showing the settings that I'm using:

I think some minor changes I made may have fixed it since uninstall followed by install now seems to work OK. Will post an update shortly -- let me know if the problem persists.

8.0.443 seems to work without the exif error, for me.

Confirmed, 8.0.443 works as expected.
