www.hexdraw.com/rename.exe

I did a small program (www.hexdraw.com/rename.exe)

it let you select a file folder, it then renames all pictures in that folder according to the date the picture was shot. (e.g. 001.jpg, 002.jpg, 003.jpg ... 099.jpg)

Thereafter it is easier to view the photos in that file folder especially when from different dates and

sources.…

I finished the TopText functions. A Map can have a Turntrack and all the symbols we always like to have drawn on the very top. The nice depot symbols are also done with Toptext.

I also finished the ‘Shift Hexside’ function. The points of new heside are shifted in direction to a higher terrain. The amount of shift is controlled by a new Trackbar. The value is based on the width of the hexside.

Today I programmed the Hexsides Shift in direction to adjacent higher terrain. This makes outlining Hexes with Hexsides much easier . (e.g. Hills and Woods in ASL)

The programming is done, but I have to finish the fine tuning of the values. Also the user interface makes me headache because of the amount of possibilities how to use this new feature. I don’t want to have too many buttons.

Started with Top-Layer-Text , very useful when drawing a turn record chart or a map… Continue

I moved the Random Rotation Buttons into the Overlays Tab

All Tabs now have their own Controls at the lower end of their list.

So you can switch Random Rotation for Overlays, Text, Background seperatly.

Additional there is a Track bar for the Random Factor in percentage of a Hexside for

Roads and Hexsides. The blue hexside was drawn with 10% the red with 90%

The terrain tab got a… Continue

As the response is positiv all in all, I start working on the 1.1 update Version.

Today I realised an idea by Ian Wedge. With the 'Random factor ' Roads and Hexsides can be drawn more easily.

I am still looking for a MAC, and did some research about Mono. Generally I hope a MAC version could be realized.

I just bought a new computer, and tried to transfer my Hexdraw files to the new computer, it asked for my license code, I put in my code number, but it doesn't work!! I tried it several times. I have my ownerships code, and original email from a couple years ago when I bought Hexdraw.

Can you help me get Hexdraw to work on my new computer? It is a Dell laptop, same as my old computer, only newer. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your help!
