Just a quick question, since it's nearly impossible to sift through the 33 pages of this discussion:

1. This program looks awesome! Does it integrate with other programs like synthedit and synthmaker?

2. Looks like you guys were tweaking some kind of GUI code. Do I need to learn a language to use it?

Thanks!

#1: it exports a "strip" - think of it like a movie reel. The strip, a *.bmp, has a user defined number of cells, each a slightly different version of the same picture. Synthedit and Synth maker load these .bmps and then "animate" them by displaying each one in succession, like an old film reel.

#2.I know no gui code at all, hence my thrill with this program. :)
..what goes around comes around..

Sounds like a smash hit! Thanks for the info, ouroboros.

I have another issue, when I delete a layer and save the .KNOB-file then all the included graphics files are missing, I have to re-load all of the files manually and re-save ...
THX asseca,
I found & Fixed a bug about image re-load :)

Ver 1.19 is here

http://www.g200kg.com/en/software/knobman.html

* layer control pane instead of tabs (not yet support layer groups)
* .knob file thumbnail viewer on Explorer (xp/vista both available)
* .msi installer packaged

if you had tried the .reg file uploaded before and failed, you may need to delete the old registry entry for thumbnail browsing by following commands.

Program files\g200kg\knobman>regsvr32 /u KnobBrowser.dll
Program files\g200kg\knobman>regsvr32 KnobBrowser.dll

Haven't used Knobman much yet, but thank you for this great tool :)

I like the layer control pane, works well :D
Thanks for the Layer > VisibleSolo function, really handy :love:

After running KnobMan119Setup.msi, the existing KnobMan.exe and KnobMan.chm were not replaced, I first had to manually remove these 2 files and run KnobMan119Setup.msi again before the installer would correctly install these 2 files ... :(

Do we REALLY need a MSI installer, to be honest I don't really like MSI installers :?

Request:
Is it possible to give us an old-fashioned zip-file with just the files as a 2nd option :?:

Massive absolutely massive

hmmm... okay that is problem.

another problem im worrying is that the recent windows security-patch dont believe the help-file(.chm) from .zip. The help shows 'Error' until the user checking 'Allow'.

Thanks again for the ongoing improvements g200kg! One small feature request; Ctrl-S for Save? I save frequently, and this would help my workflow a lot...

Best,
