CATVids version 9.20 is now available for download. If you already have version 9.10 installed, you can download the update patch.

This is a free upgrade to users of version 9.

Changes in version 9.20:

• You can now automatically organize external image files into a folder structure and filename format of your choice based on information in the database. To use this feature, choose 'Auto-Organize Image Files' from the Tools menu.
• The folder and filename setup used by the 'Auto-Organize Image Files' function is also automatically used if you have chosen to link to external image files: When you download images from the Internet, when you paste an image into the image field or drag an image from the web browser, and when you use the 'Extract images' feature. To edit this setting, chooose Tools=>Options, select the Multimedia group, then click the 'Images/Filename setup' button.
• If CATVids is unable to locate external image files because you have moved the files, you can use the new 'Locate Missing Image Files' function available on the Tools menu. This will scan the specified drive/folder and attempt to locate the missing image files.
• Updated the 'Extract images', 'Load external images' and 'Cleanup image folder' functions to support the new features.
• Data Entry: Image: Removed the two separate "Load Image" and "Link to Image" buttons. Instead there is now one button that will use the 'Store images in database/Link to image files" setting (you can now also right-click the image control to change this setting).
• Data Entry: Image: Added Paste and Resize buttons below the field.
• Data Entry: Image: Added a Center property (changeable from the Form Designer). When this is checked, the image is centered within the control (this is now the default behaviour).

Activate this to store CSS formatting in external files, and share the same CSS file by all generated html files (one file for each page type: index, overview list, list and detail). If this option is not activated, all CSS formatting is stored in the HTML files.
