2All Download the AutoPlay Media Studio Beta Release - 8.0.0.16 [more=VERSION 8.0.0.16 UPDATES:]Welcome to the beta release of AutoPlay Media Studio 8!
IMPORTANT! Due to changes in the installer, if you've previously installed the beta, please uninstall first using the control panel instead of the automatic uninstall located within the setup file.
This version of AutoPlay Media Studio is beta software and we expect there to be bugs that will be discovered and squashed before release!
We'll be giving away 5 free copies of the final product (or extend your support & maintenance subscription by 1 year). They'll go to those beta testers who provide the most useful feedback as judged by our development team.
Please post any bugs that you find right here in the AMS8 discussion forums.
Please try to provide as much detail as possible with any bug report - what where you doing? what happened? can you reproduce the problem? etc
VERSION 8.0.0.16 UPDATES:
Fix: Fixed a bug where the category selection in the action wizard wasn't working for plugin actions after clicking Back button.
Fix: Made it so that the resize "Min width" and "Min height" values automatically change when page size is changed if "Window is resizable" is disabled, otherwise it will present a confirmation dialog. This fix was also applied for Dialogs properties.
Fix: Fixed a pre-build error that could occur if a page/dialog image file radio button was selected, but "Use custom settings" was unchecked.
