The module supports the popular
graphics formats JPG, GIF, PCX, PNG and
TIF and includes the following new features.

a new
field
called "Graphics Type" that lets you choose
the graphics format to create.

the Create Thumbnail Graphics wizard.

Graphics Files" converts
graphics
files from one format to another. |

Report Wizard has a new checkbox called "New Page Between
Folders". You can suppress page breaks between folders
by turning off the checkbox. |

now mark a folder without marking its subfolders by holding
down the <shift> key while clicking on the checkbox
to the left of the folder name. |

Tools->Extract Zip'd Files" will now process
the contents of any selected zip
files. Previously the contents of the zip files, as opposed

zip files that were in subfolders below the current
folder were not processed. |

Embroidery Edition Only: The programs "VIP
customizing", "VIP reader/writer", and "Amazing
Box /Dream Box / Magic Box" have been added as choices
in the "View->Options->File Associations->Open
Settings->Open With->Program Name" field, so
that these programs can be launched by double-clicking on
a design. These program choices have not yet been added
to the BuzzXplore Setup program, so they must be configured
from within BuzzXplore.
PLEASE NOTE: This does not add
the file format VIP. |
 |
Embroidery Edition Only: Enhanced
double-click support added for the PSW version 2 software.
To use BuzzXplore's open routine, set your open settings

is already running. |
