Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: DFMerge/2 Version 0.8.0.1

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Herwig Bauernfeind <herwig.bauernfeindDESPAM at DESPAMaon.at >

As the announcement of version 0.8.0 did not appear on most news services 
(probably a really evil conspiracy as they are en vogue at the moment), 
here is a bugfix release of PDFMerge/2, a freeware tool to manipulate PDF 
or PS files in the following ways:

  - Concatenate multiple PDF files into a single one.
  - Split PDF files into single pages.
  - Rearrange these pages.
  - Compose a new PDF file from single (or multiple) pages or PDF documents.
  - Save sets of PDF files to disk and reload these sets into PDFMerge later
    for further processing.
  - Preview pages while manipulating.
  - Print multiple PDF files to a PS or PCL printer at once (experimental).

Recent additions:
  +Added: Toolbar with most often used functions
  +Added: Menu: Copy filename to clipboard
  +Added: Left clicking onto the preview of the selected file opens the file
  *Changed: Made menu structure more CUA compliant
  *Changed: Better thumbnail caching algorithm
  !Fixed: Bug in D'n'D code
  !Fixed: "Erase Source" could not handle tagged files
  Fixed: "Erase Source" also deleted the enclosed Empty.PDF (for empty pages)
  !Fixed: Files having spaces in their name or path could not be handled
  !Fixed: If one toggled preview window before a file was loaded the empty 
preview window would appear.

Despite the version number below 1.0.0, this is only bugfix release to the 
final version of PDFMerge/2 0.8.0 as it turned out that the current 
architecture (especially the GUI) was a major obstacle for adding new 
features. A complete rewrite from scratch is in the works and all future 
efforts will go into this new project (see a current screenshot on my website).
