CIM full changelog

In the Windows release of photoApps 1.12, the cim documentation was obsolete. The documentation is now current, and this is the only change in photoApps-Win-1.12a.exe.
Changes:
Care has been taken to ensure that execution of photoApps programs on Windows succeeds without the MinGW development environment being present

Several bugs in saving Exif data are corrected. The auto-sharpen feature now uses either of two convolution matrices depending on the image size. Also, non-fatal warning messages are provided following image load and save.

Fixing a cim crash while parsing the quot;component configurationquot; EXIF entry introduced a bug affecting some other images. This has been corrected in photoApps-1.09a, and photoApps-1.09 has been withdrawn.

cim:
If a disk error occurs on an image while the cim Browse window is being
populated, an quot;errorquot; thumbnail will be displayed for the image.
manageImages:
A small adjustment is made to the screen height calculation so that
the manageImages main window is contained properly in the available
screen area.
Deleting empty image archive folders now seems to work properly.
If a disk error occurs on an image while the center panel is being
populated, an quot;errorquot; thumbnail will be displayed for the image.

· Optional references grids for rotating and distortion removal are now yellow and of finer mesh. Exif tags for post-processing software, height, width and document name are now processed.

· Documentation is no longer provided in word processing format. Instead, it is
· provided in html format and is available from the help menu item (help button for manageImages).

Two cases are supported:
· vertical lines converge toward the top of the image;
· vertical lines converge toward the bottom of the image.

· A Remove Lens Distortion feature is implemented to remove barrel and pincushion distortion from images.
· A Remove Keystone Distortion feature is implemented to restore converging vertical lines to parallel lines.
