Printing Contact Sheets is slow. This is because the Java
printer driver calls the print routine about 10 times - obviously
slow. This behavior was previously reported in Java bug report 4950987
for Java 1.4. Sun did not recognize it as a bug. I plan to
report this to Sun once I finish testing with Java 1.6.
On rare occasions the file list gets in a mode where you can not
select
anything and there is some jumpiness. The quick fix for this is
to go to full screen and then back.
When you select all and then try to drag from the file list, the
selection is lost. The correct files are dragged, but the loss of
selection is disconcerting. A work around it to hold CTRL down
before starting the drag. This is caused by a Java feature - see
Java bug 4468566. Java 6 will enable this
problem to be fixed; unfortunately, I have many users stuck on Java 4
(the last version for OS2/Warp).
If you change (grow, shrink, rotate) your camera pictures in the
main viewer and save
them, the metadata (EXIF) information which your camera stored with the
picture will be lost. This does not affect the image quality, but
could make it harder for some image manipulation programs to
automatically enhance your pictures quality. It also make it
impossible to rename the file using the EXIF information. So do
renames before doing rotations. Java bug 4339463
is an approved request for enhancement to provide this
functionality. It was originally scheduled for Java 6, but as of
May 2006 had not been implemented.
