The following things were changed in the new version of Wildfire7: 



1. Images

Direct support for Movieshop!!
Support for loading and saving of WFMV Images. These images are used
by the new Wildfire Operator inside Movieshop by 
Heinrich Angler (Heinrich.Angler@muenchen.de)
This makes it possible to use the power of Wildfire through Movieshop.
Inside the drawer WF:Movieshop/ there are all the needed Files for
the Movieshop Installation of the Wildfire-Movieshop Operator.



2. AREXX 

Added wf_movieshopmode and wf_blackframes command



3. Non-Linear-Effects 

Input connection text localized (english/german)

Operator input/output texts localized (english/german)

Realtime preview may now be turned on and off!

       

4. Preferences 

The selected Public Screen for the display Mode `Output Window`
is now saved inside the preferences.


  
5. Converter

HAM Pictures where not saved when an output depth larger than 8 bits
was selected - fixed.



6. Transition Maker

The RX command will now be loaded from SYS:REXXC/

Instead of displaying only filenames the Effect-descriptions
will be displayed to allow the user to guess what the effect
is all about!

The transition example animations may now be located inside the
WF:TransAnims/ drawer, too! So you could copy the example
transition animations from the CD inside this drawer!

Some new transition modes were added. (Tile, ScaleWipe, Perspective)



7. Direkt Wildfire-ImageFX3 Connection

There is a new kind of connection between Wildfire and ImageFX 3. Some
important effects may now be used and animated directly from Wildfire.
You have to start ImageFX 3 and have to make sure that you are not
working with ImageFX when you use it from Wildfire. That means especially
that you should not open any effect-window inside ImageFX!
The operators act like any normal Wildfire operator.
The following effects are available:
  
 IFXFire
 IFXFireRadIn
 IFXFireRadOut
 IFXLensflare
 IFXBubble
 IFXBubbleCol
 IFXStraw
 IFXCrystal
 IFXRadialStar
 IFXClouds
 IFXLighning

   
8. Wildfire-Movieshop Effectsessions

4 Effektcollections for the Wildfire-Movieshop connection are ready
and may be bought from Andreas Küssner.
So you can use lots of Wildfire-special-effects directly from withing
Movieshop! You need the Wildfire-Movieshop-Operator by Heinrich Angler!

9. Render 3D Lightsources

The coordinates of the 4 lightsources were not displayed correctly - fixed
