• It fixes a bug in the display of text objects that are scrolled partially offscreen.
• The uninstaller won't delete files that users have stored in the label maker's main install folder (though it will still delete them from subfolders of the main install folder).

• Fixes spine text limitation problem
• Cleaning up temp files better.

• the "Text Color" menu option now launches the Text Properties text-color page instead of the Windows choose-color dialog.

Version 3.19

• bug fix: drawing issue on Tracks page of the instant-label wizard
• bug fix: the "display at full size" right-click option for thumbnails didn't draw backgrounds correctly for some PNG images with alpha channels
• bug fix: removed slight changes in text position/size when switching between full and partial opacity (this bug will still appear on machines with CPU speeds of less than 1.5 ghz unless you're selected the "Lowest Memory" option in the "Printing Memory Use" page of the preferences dialog, since the fix can cause noticeable delays on slower machines)
• the tile settings dialog no longer defaults to 150 DPI; instead, it defaults to 3 rows tall, or if that would amount to less than 150 DPI, however many rows it would take to be at least 150 DPI vertical resolution
• New version of installer used and will avoid Vista thinking that there is a problem with the install.

Version 3.18

• added transparency control for text, accessible from the "Text Color" page of the Text Properties dialog. Probably the most striking use of this feature is to pair large-font transparent text with an non-transparent text background, making the text appear to be carved out of the background.
• the disc-editing window can emulate all LightScribe disc colors, using the same algorithm HP uses for its official LightScribe previews (previously, the label maker could just display in color or grayscale). You can change the disc color from the combo box in the top-right corner of the screen next to the LightScribe mode combo box.
• if you've got text selected, it won't display in the standard windows selection colors while you have the "Text Color" page of the "Text Properties" dialog open. This allows you to experiment with text colors & transparency without having to exit the dialog and deselect your text to see what your choices look like.
• the export-to-image-file dialog will now start remembering all settings from the last time you ran it: target folder, dpi, image type, and cropping option
• added a generate-a-random-color button to the text-color and background-color pages of the text properties dialog, so the label maker can generate color ideas for you
• enforcement of LightScribe modes is now optional - the mode combo box (the combo box with the full/content/title mode choices) can either choose a mode + layout or just a layout, as specified in the preferences dialog
• the "Add Row" button on the Tracks dialog will now insert a row in front of the currently selected row instead of appending the new row to the very end of the track list
• if you've got a direct-to-disc printer selected as your paper type/output target, the Print dialog will now attempt to find a printer to match that paper type and if it finds one, will set that printer as the selected printer
• moved the "use version 2 printing" preference to its own page in the Preferences dialog (the "Printing Memory Use" page) to allow more flexibility for users having memory-related printing issues. Though the interface has changed, the default behavior is the same as it was in version 3.17.
• if you've elected not to eject discs when LightScribe printing is complete, the software will beep whenever something occurs that would normally cause the disc to eject (error, printing done, time to insert next disc) so that you'll notice the label maker needs your attention
• bug fix: if the custom-colors bank was open on the text-properties dialog and you added a new custom color, the new color wouldn't appear in the bank until you switched to another bank and returned again
• bug fix: not correctly parsing or scaling wmf files that contain text in some cases
• bug fix: handling incorrectly formatted command lines produced by Internet Explorer when opening a .lbl file link from a web page
• bug fix: not creating thumbnails correctly for PNG images with alpha channels originally created in Photoshop
• bug fix: incorrectly handling hard returns when applying text edits (bold, italics, etc.) to text selections
• bug fix: not drawing selections correctly for sideways and upside-down text
• bug fix: not saving rotated images correctly in some circumstances
