The Color Icon (‘cicn’) and Pattern (‘ppat’) Editors now create new color icons and patterns with dimensions the same as the last one created or brought to the front.
The Color Icon (‘cicn’), Pattern (‘ppat’), and Cursor (‘crsr’) Editors used to be hardwired to default for new color resources to 4-bits/pixel. There is a new preference that lets you set this to 8-bits/pixel. The preference is independent for each of the three types of color resource.
Bug Fixes
--------
Fixed a nasty bug introduced in 1.2.3 that caused the menu's to go crazy in the Dialog Editor (and elsewhere) after using it more than once.
The preprocessor in the script interpreter now ignores most directives it doesn’t recognize or support.
Fixed a bug in the 'PICT' template filter that was misparsing the BitsRect/BitsRgn opcodes in version 2 picts when they were only BitMaps. Apple’s PICT.r file was/is wrong on this.
Resource files are now checked to see if they are already open as part of your runtime environment. If they are, they are no longer closed when you think you've closed them. In addition, already open files now have the proper resource map walked during the initial Resorcerer scan. This means that you can now open and edit a System 7.1 Font folder file and have things work pretty much as expected. However, there is no guarantee here. If you are having problems editing a 7.1 font file in the Fonts folder, make a copy, drag it out of the folder, and then edit it.
Current (that is, always open) System Enabler files are now strictly off-limits. Older versions of Resorcerer open them incorrectly; 1.2.4 now forces you to make a copy, which you should be able to edit or browse normally (no guarentees, here). The undocumented hacking that the Resource Manager has suffered to implement enablers under 7.1 makes the support of direct editing of open enablers very unpleasant for third-parties.
Fixed a bug having to do with the non-opening of locked files in the Finder.
