An update to Stykz was released today that improves performance (a bit), fixes a number of bugs, and enhances the Stykz Help:

• General
  • Added compaction to stack saving to help with file size reduction/performance enhancement.
  • Improved performance with moving multiple figures with the arrow keys.
  • Improved overall performance of Stykz by approximately 15%.
  • (Mac Only) Added custom icons for Pivot .stk and .piv files.
  • Fixed bug where the segment shown when drag-copying a segment was “stuck” on the first frame of a document after Stykz crashed. [1444]
  • Improved performance slightly by not checking Stykz documents when they open for font changes for the current platform. [1449]

• Docs/Help/Support
  • Stykz Help
    • Added “Copying Segments” topic under the “Working With Segments” section. [1436]
    • Added “…Copy a Segment?” topic under the “How Do I…?” section.
    • Updated The Palettes > Controller Palette to include info on playing animations back from the currently displayed frame instead of frame 1.
    • Added “…Start Playback From the Current Frame?” topic under the “How Do I…?” section.

• Figure Manipulation
  • Fixed bug where attempting to deselect a single segment would deselect *all* of the segments of the target figure. [1434]
  • (Windows Only) Fixed bug where antialiasing for newly created segments would sometimes not match the antialiasing of the target figure. [1439]
  • Fixed bug where a polyfill in progress would get canceled if the “3 nodes” reminder alert was displayed. [1447]

• Import/Export
  • Export Animated GIF
    • Modified Frame Delay so that it would show red if you picked a number less than 6/100ths of a second. [1428]
  • Import Pivot .stk File
    • Changed import so that if you hit the “75 generations” limit, the figure it was creating is removed from the document instead of leaving it partially done.
• Installer
  • (Windows Only) Fixed bug where the shortcut to the Stykz Forums in the Start menu would not work. [1446]

    • Fixed bug that generated an error when trying to add a figure with all segments hidden to the Library. [1440]
  • Properties Palette
    • Fixed bug where creating an empty selection rectangle and releasing the mouse would incorrectly switch to show Figure Properties. [1448]
