The following list of enhancements will hopefully be in the next release,
probably in June 1994 if my pattern keeps up.
- Support for a toolbar and status bar.
- Support for drag and drop.
- Support for installable compressors when writing AVI and BMP files.
This includes INDEO, Supermatch, and Microsoft video compression.
- Ability to select an area, and then zoom that area to fit the window.
- More image formats such as compressed TIFF, IFF, output of GIF, etc.
- More movie formats such as GL (Grasp), the new FLI formats, MPEG, etc.
- Support for Autodesk's Animation1 video driver if present.
- Playback support for MIDI and WAV files.
- Ability to display thumbnail views of animation frames as on a light
table, and rearrange the frames in a new order.
If you have any ideas for new features, please don't hesitate to let me
know about them.
