[lmc-dev] new release

[lmc-dev]

Hi,

finally a new release, rel 0.12, is available and adds two more functions, 
including some fixes which gave troubles when using multiple databases:

1. embed pictures

Accessible through the context menu of the picture preview and the menu bar 
this allows directly to embed a picture to a record without changing the 
global configuration file.

2. link pictures

Also accessible through the context menu of the picture preview and the menu 
bar, this allows to individually select pictures and link them to a picture.
If the linked picture is in the path somewhere below the database file the 
picture will be linked with relative path. Otherwise absolute. 

3. filenamePrefix - configure variable changed

This variable was had a default value of "picture/movie_%04d"
which caused pictures to be linked under the directory "picture" with the 
filename "movie_<id>.<ext>".

Instead of %04d a new substitution method has been introduced:
%(no)d     for record id
%(db)s     for database name

By choosing a filename prefix of:
%(db)s_pictures/movie_%(no)04d

this will cause the pictures to be stored in different folders, depending on 
the database filename, thus allowing multiple databases to be used in the 
same directory concurrently.

Old configurations will be transparently updated to: pictures/movie_%(no)04d
to provide backwards compatibility.

4. new option: queryPathOnLinkedImage

If set to True (default) this will cause a dialog to prompt for linked images 
on the path and filename.


Thats it, I hope it all works well, let me know if you find bugs or have 
problems (otherwise I can't fix them).

Ciao
Uwe
