The primary purpose of Version 5.2 is to make Kaleider more usable
with extremely high resolution displays. This became necessary (and rather
urgent) after several customers had recently purchased new computers with very large,
high-density monitors. They complained that Kaleider text and other
elements appeared so tiny that it was almost impossible to work with. The
Appearance Options screen
(under the View Menu) has now been expanded to add 3 larger Interface
Scales beyond the previous maximum of Jumbo. When Kaleider
is initially installed on a computer, it should automatically set a reasonable
Interface Scale based upon the resolution of the display screen.
Appearance Options can then be used to adjust according to individual preferences.
No major new features were added with this version, but it does include several other
fairly important improvements and fixes.
Kaleider 5.2.1
Kaleider 5.2.1 includes significant fixes and improvements. This
version corrects some glitches that could occur with large, unscaled source images,
especially if their position on the screen had been moved. Kaleider
should now render effects properly in such situations, and also accurately reproduce
effects using Remake Scripts and Upscaling. Two even larger
Interface Scales have been added to the
Appearance Options screen. Also, the
Automatic Effects Configuration screen has been entirely redesigned.
With the shorter screen, it might be possible to use a larger Interface Scale
without truncating some items. Several other less noticeable improvements.
(The Kaleider Screensaver has also been updated to Version 5.2.1.)
Kaleider 5.2.2
Kaleider 5.2.2 provides several mostly minor fixes and improvements, including
correction of Video Capture
positioning. This version was also built with a newer compiler, which might
slightly improve performance. (The Kaleider Screensaver has also been
updated to Version 5.2.2.)
