Digital Light & Color

An update is available to Version 8.0.43 (30-Jan-2020)

The changes (taken from the update log) are:

Fixed problem causing a crash after closing a transformation dialog box while a mask dialog box was open.

Fixed problem that could cause a crash when closing an image if it was the only one.

Removed Del keyboard shortcut (conflicted with edit controls).

Removed Ctrl-A and Ctrl-Q keyboard shortcuts. Enter and Esc now work instead. (Ctrl-A conflicted with edit controls).

Fixed problem of image bit depth display being invisible or hard to read for black and white images if the border color was set to white or a very light color.

Crop: fixed problem with margin readouts not being updated after clicking one of the buttons in the tool bar at the top right of the dialog box.

If Autosave is enabled (recommended), the workspace is not only saved on OK or Apply, but is also saved just before closing an image or just before clearing the workspace. This provides a recovery method if you close images by accident. Up to four recent autosave files are now kept alongside Autosave.workspace to provide extra insurance. The files are named Autosave1.workspace ... Autosave4.workspace (from most recent to least recent).

I haven't had much luck with Enter and Esc simulating OK and Cancel of the open transformations. Ctrl-A and Ctrl-Q worked for me before, albeit I had to remove the same shortcuts from Veracrypt first which somehow hijacked them. Is it my computer again? Do Enter/Esc work for others?

I did some more testing and they seem to work right after you create a transformation, but when you double click on it you need to click on the main image area first to get them to work.

I think I have gotten this working for all the transformations except Text and, if an edit control has the focus, Layout. In these cases the text entry field processes the Esc and Return which is necessary to allow multi-line text entry. However, you can still use Esc and Return even in these two cases if you first click on the main image area.
