Version 1.8.4

Search filters can be searched by a partial name or comment. The (next) found match is focused.

Cells can now be linked to search filters, just drag-and-drop them. Cells are always displayed as search matches for all the linked search filter.

Version 1.7.3

Added a feature to copy the entire search filters tree to the clipboard.

Added a search filters tree organizer. The cells which contain no search match are rendered in a faded manner, so that the cells which contain a search match stand out.

When the text is too small to be displayed on pictures, a marker is displayed instead.



Version 1.6.2

Added a progress bar for lengthy operations.



Version 1.6

Added a function to export the mosaic for a print test, only with black and white colors and no pictures.



Version 1.5.5

The cell spacing and frame thickness are in fractions of the smallest cell side.



Version 1.5.3

Added cell inner margins so that the pictures could be drawn anywhere inside cells.



Version 1.5.2

The texts of two cells can be exchanged with "Ctrl + Drag-and-drop".



Version 1.5.1

Added the "Edition" mosaic setting. If it's not empty, it (and the cell's position) is automatically added at the end of the text from the "Identifier" text-box.



Version 1.5

The mosaic cells may contain the following text boxes: attributes, commands, lore and identifier.

The margins of the text boxes are now in fractions of the smallest cell side.



Version 1.4.2

The text from the text boxes can be displayed localized in the language specified in the mosaic settings.

The mosaic frame has variable thickness and translucency.

If the picture files are not found at their original location, they are searched in the same directory as the mosaic file.



Version 1.4.1

The mosaic cells may contain the following text boxes: attributes, commands and lore.

The text boxes of the mosaic cells have a maximum width.



Version 1.4

The mosaic cells may contain the following text boxes: attributes and lore.



Version 1.3.6

Added settings (number of columns and rows) to export a mosaic as several smaller mosaics, that is, each exported picture contains a number of pictures organized as a part of the bigger mosaic.

Fixed some bugs.



Version 1.3

The pictures can be previewed with the keyboard: "Right" / "Up" / "Space" for the next picture, "Left" / "Down" for the previous picture. A preview starts from the last previewed picture (like the one previewed with a middle click).

When picture files are dropped on the program's main window, a query dialog is displayed if a cell already shows the same picture file.



Version 1.2

Middle-click on a picture shows the picture preview form.

Picture files can be renamed.

Picture files can be copied to another directory.

Added some small features and fixed some bugs.



Version 1.1.0

Added picture cache.



First public release of Mosaic: version 1 on 12 July 2007.
