PI 11 Bugs Found

Post by BitRot »

Anyone that finds a bug, post it in here. I'm interested to know how many there are before I pay up the upgrade price (to see if they're gonna sersiously affect my work).

So far I've found that the mouse pointer doesn't appear if you have rulers turned on, paint tool selected and then move your mouse over the ruler.

Also, if you tick the border box for a path, then set the border size, then untick the box and then tick it again, the size that you entered is forgotten.

Lastly, not so much to do with a bug - is there a way to make borders (around paths) square? For instance, if I draw a square and put a really big border on it, the corners of the border are round. It would be nice to choose whether to make the courners square of round.

My favourite so far is now that I've actually bought it, the damn thing won't activate. Hurray!

Why Ulead are bothering with a stupid activation process in the first place is beyond me - there'll no doubt be a crack available (if there isn't one around already) in no time for those who don't want to pay. It just annoys those customers who do pay. Also, where are the extra components to download? What a disaster Ulead have gotten themselves into!

Better be sorted by the end of Monday or it's gonna be refund time.

Dear Nice Moderators

Could this thread be made a 'sticky' for all bug reports on V11 please.

S-l-o-o-o-w to start. Moderately annoying.

I can't resize objects. In Adjust, Resize, the "objects" and "objects plus base image" options are grayed out. I can change the height and width in an object's Properties dialog box and the new sizes save in the dialog box, but the object itself doesn't change its size. VERY annoying.

Some tools are missing some of their old options in their tool panels. The touch up tool for example is missing the options to increase or decrease color matching to the original and a couple of the other tool panels are missing options to increase or decrease various properties. Sorry I'm at work now and can't check for more specific examples. But working last night it was -- VERY annoying.

Oh, and the above problems kept me from being able to finish the project I was working on last night, so I closed PI 11 and opened PI 10 so I could do what I needed to finish. Of the ten or so files I had saved in PI 11, three showed up in the file folder in PI 10 with 8 character dot 3 character DOS type filenames that weren't at all related to the names I had saved them under. But when I opened the files in PI 10, the full file names I had created in PI 11 showed in the title bar of the work window. :roll:

And the refund request has gone in... (though not much of a request, they either refund me or have my credit card company take back the money).

This kinda service is exactly what I've come to expect from Ulead (had troubles with downloading one of their components for version 8 because the link on the site was wrong). No, actually this time I think it's sunk to new depths. Shame 'cos the product is quite good.

Interesting problem/bug.

After going to print preview PI 11 crashed/froze.

Restarted and lo and behold, No menus, toolbars, just a frame with the status bar, therefore totally unusable at present.

I guess there is a file that stores settings, will try and find it and post details.

In the meantime back to good old version 8.

My refund demand (not request) probably isn't far away either, goods are not suitable for the purpose.

Very buggy release

Post by petgabor »

VERY BUGGY!

1. Slow start or does not start at all.
2. Screencapture setup does not start at all, starts capture instead.
3. When zooming on a base image the left side of image 'disappeares' and can not be edited.

Never had a worse PI release, Ulead should work on this like mad, otherwise will loose many customers.

I've got PI 10 and i've downloaded the trial version of 11 and I cannot use any effects or use smart download because it comes up with an error message "Cannot get URL from Push File"
Any ideas?

Another one:-
Drop down 'Zoom' box lists 1200% and 1600%, but they don't work.

More ammunition for a refund

Another BIG bug in PI10 and PI11:

If I want to print to a Minolta QMS magicolor 2300 laser printer, both the print preview and print-out only shows the half of the selected paper format. This print function is absolutely useless.

I have the same problem with my KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 2300W. PI shows the page with a false height and prints pictures only on the half of the page.

Alle other applications have no problem with the printer so it seams to be a bug in PI. I use PI 11 with the last patch.

The border is only square when you select 1 pixel, all other settings will deform into a rounded border.

I am sure you know the workaround is to create a seperate square path object behind as to portray a border. You could group the objects together to maintain some stability.

rounded rectangles aren't able to have "FIXED RADIUS" (meaning: the fixed radius check box is there just for the fun of it)

then i cant get the downloads to run
