CamExpand Software History

v1.1.0 - 7/29/2007 UPDATE: The program scheduler has the OPENED PROGRAM command available that allows programs opened in the editor to be put in the program queue on a specific date and time. Two more commands were added to give the user more control: CLEAR PROGRAM QUEUE and STOP PROGRAM. These three commands will give users the ability to have the scheduler put programs in the queue, clear the program queue and stop the program that is currently running.   UPDATE: The following tags have been added to give users more freedom to format text added to pictures, entered in emails, put inside text fields, put inside text files and put within web page templates: <!--cr--> - Carriage return. <!--lf--> - Line feed. <!--crlf--> - Carriage return / Line feed.   ISSUE FIX: The [Select Area] and [Select Monitor Area] buttons did not always store the area coordinates in the clipboard properly.   ISSUE FIX: The #CLEAR PROGRAM QUEUE command used in remote trigger and email programs caused an error when the program queue was already empty.   ISSUE FIX: When CamExpand adds text to pictures or sends out emails, the text is run through a routine that converts any tags found with actual data. This tag converting routine was not processing all tags properly.   v1.0.0 - 7/23/2007 LAUNCH: CamExpand was made available to the public for download and purchase.
