dead link? Or just takes a lot of time to resolve....I don't know, I gave up.

I'm trying now.
I wait, as long, as it needs, or as it stops from alone.

Edit: Which was pretty short: about 5sec and "Can't show website"

For now, use this:

http://rapidshare.com/files/31799347/Vi ... 1.1-rd.zip

(yes, keep going. It's not obvious, and it's clear that they want your $, but buried deep on that page is a button that will get you to a free download).

until I can figure out which of several firewalls did it, and why. :-/

Thank you rerdavies !!!
It works and it looks just great !
Yeah - Linear tonemaping.
Great stuff!

I've also mirrored it here:

download might be a little slow as my upload capacity isn't huge (based in the UK), but it'll always be there.

wohoo - got it - and its great!!

- you succeed in rearrange the whole thing!
- good use of space
- great histogram
- fantastic general little changes
- linear tonemapping rocks! (exposure and contrast are much easier to use)
- nice to have the "apply" seperated and always present
- a big "wow" for the new diffraction-limited bloom!
- seperated tonemapping! bloom and glare hasnt to be recomputed everytime you change the tonemapping settings - big timesaver
- i see you can insert number values now - nice

some suggestion/bugs:
- bug: violet crashes if i set diffraction-limited bloom radius under 0.3 (strangly i cant reproduce this problem everytime but it happend to me several times)
- bug?: why does violet have to recompute everything before saving?
- suggestion: default noise reduction should be set to "none" imo
- suggestion: small preview for faster adjustments
- suggestion: "pipette" feature for white-balance
- suggestion: progress bar
- suggestion: the word "Violet" in the window-bar
- suggestion: violet icon
- suggestion: "out-of-the-box" .exe (without the need for installing) if possible
- please keep up your good work

this list isn't intended to be scary it's just all what i can think of atm

Thanks for the great suggestions. (love the pipette white balance, especially). I have to admit, X and Y don't really speak to me wrt/ the whitebalance controls, and I was giving some thought as to how to make it work. And I'll follow up on the bugs.

The installer thing is, unfortunately required by an interaction between vs 2005, and wxWidgets. The core issue: 2005 provides *much* tighter control of linkage against the C/C++ runtime when using the runtime DLLs. It uses manifests to link the .EXE to the exact version of the runtime DLLs that the EXE was built with. And, licensing terms prohibit separate distribution of the runtime DLLs. So, *if* the project is linked against DLL runtimes, you pretty much have to provide an installer. (An additional curiosity: I couldn't split the download without violating the redistribution terms).

Previously reported issues about "incorrect use of the runtime library" were an indication that an EXE had been used on a system without the corresponding manifest-protected runtime. Given the rarity of linking against the vs80 runtime DLLs, this probably happened on most machines that didn't have visual studio installed.

Most vs projects I have worked with avoid this problem by statically linking. But the wxWidgets project only provides DLL builds of the wxWidget library. The rock and the hard place: require the use of an installer to distribute; or link against a non-standard build of wxWidgets, which astronomically increases the difficulty of sharing the sources.

BLECH!!!! Won't run in linux under wine....

rerdavies · Post by **rerdavies** » Fri May 18, 2007 3:29 pm

>> Won't run in linux under wine...

How far do you get?

Choices:

1) doesn't make it through the installer. A: needs a 2k3 build.

2) installs but doesn't run. A: may need a single-threaded version, depending on what exactly fails.

Let me know what the exact symptoms are, and I'll see what I can do.

joegiampaoli · Post by **joegiampaoli** » Fri May 18, 2007 4:21 pm

Ah yes, of course, some options and requests to more of my amazing screenshots!

Well, it does install but I get a runtime error like this....

Erm.. you can definitely do a static link with the wxWidgets code. Or do you mean that using wxWidgets requires dynamically linking to the CRT?

LINUX: Here is the vcomp.dll missing (?)
