CharPad C16 Pro 3.59

Public Release 17/8/23 (CharPad C16 Pro 3.59)

- Fixed: Char Editor - the editor image/canvas could become unresponsive after ie. a Swap operation in the set.

- Fixed: Tile Editor - the editor image/canvas could become unresponsive after ie. a Swap operation in the set.

- Fixed: Emulator Snapshot Ripper - a few issues with some of the controls.

- Fixed: A couple of minor errors in Help : TED register Map.

- Fixed: Project Open - there were some colouring/translation issues in the conversion of CharPad C64 projects.

- Fixed: Colour Palette Editor - a few minor annoyances in the UI behaviour/performance (Win32/64).

- Fixed: Export Binary - "Flexi-Gridded Sub-Maps (8-bit, consolidated)" - it was possible to create a zero byte file.

- Fixed: Compressor - options "Remove unused characters/tiles" could produce different results between versions.

- Added: Anti-piracy measures - experimental, genuine purchasers need to get in touch if they get falsely identified as criminals.

- Added: CTT9 project file format, records map flexi-grid settings into the project file.

- Added: Tile Set - Fill (incremental from zero).

- Added: Project Palette (form) - Colour Assignment Mask (allows ie. any colour or range of item's colours to be only luma/chroma adjusted).

- Added: Export Binary/Text - Export Colour Map (per map char cell, CM).

                              nb. as CharPad doesn't support 'per map cell' colouring this feature allows the export of colour data for such a mode.

                              nb. this feature can be used on tiled/untiled projects using any colouring method, no pre-conversion required.

- Added: Export Binary/Text - "Flexi-Gridded Sub-Maps" - a proper error message is now shown if the flexi-grid cell size is invalid.

- Added: Emulator Snapshot Ripper - address labels now also show the size of the range in bytes.

- Added: Char/Tile sets (forms) - the status bar now shows the quantity selected if > 1.

- Added: Snapshot Ripper - option : Clip the character set address to a 1KB slot.

- Added: Project Palette (form) - a help button ("?") to quickly describe the active display mode.

- Added: Project Palette (form) - a help button ("?") to quickly describe the matrix colouring methods.

- Changed: Project Palette - moved the flexi-grid settings and some project/program options to a second tab.

- Changed: Copy/Paste between CharPad C16/C64, support has been removed, this functionality was only coincidentally (partly) possible between
           C64/C16 and if CharPad should support other platforms in future then the feature breaks without a lot of on-the-fly conversions.

           The workaround is to just open a project of the other project file type, a full conversion is performed.

- Changed: Emulator Snapshot Ripper - character set is now locatable by page/offset (no longer limited to a 1KB slot).

- Changed: Updated/improved a few of the help files.

- Changed: Settings file (no system specific data) is now stored in the app directory.
