Ben, a quick request. Right now, I'm creating a layered 24-bit animation using DCTV, DPaint, Imagemaster, and an ARexx macro, along with the MachIV macro utility to help me solve Imagemaster problems. Problems like: 'abssub' comes to a halt because IM puts up the "ignore negative results"/"change negative to positive"/"done" gadget. (These choices don't appear as an extra parameter in Arexx, as in 'abssub 0') I can clear that hurdle by having ARexx tell MachIV to click its way through Imagemaster, rather than using 'abssub' directly. Another problem, also solved by using MachIV, is the fact that several IM functions, for example Dynamic Range, just don't have an ARexx equivalent. MachIV is wonderful to automate IM functions not accessible through ARexx. There is, however, one problem I can't solve. Don't ask why, but 'imtofront' doesn't always work, and I'd like to use MachIV's "screen to front" function to force IM to the front, ready to accept further simulated mouse clicks. Unfortunately, the IM control panel is not a named screen! Would you put that request on the pile for the next version? Thanks. Blaq!
