FCM - Fractal-Clip-Maker

File	Size	Description	Version	Platform
fcm.zip	1607 kB	Fractal Clip Maker, Java-Binary	2.12	JRE 1.6.0 or newer

Attention: To use FCM you need additionally the actual Java Runtime Environment. Download it at www.java.com.

27 February 2010: V.2.12:

The new menu item "File/Open Clip But Export Each Image As ..." was not translated in the German version.
File dialogs propose a file extension now if unambiguously possible.

5 February 2010: V.2.11:

In the drop down list for the VM memory in the "Preferences" dialog there are now defaults up to 8 GB.
Optimization when loading clips: Only the colors are recalculated if the other image parameters are the same.
New menu item for concurrent loading and exporting the images of a clip.
New menu item "Animation/Adjust Frame Rate ..."; it allows to adjust comfortably the frame for a clip as a whole.

20 March 2009: V.2.10:

New navigation commands "Go To Next Key Frame" and "Go To Previous Key Frame".
FCM plays a sound when finishing operations.
The Stop button works reliably again also with newer Java Runtime Environments.
Clicking on the border output of a picture in the status bar displays a rectangle in all open windows, symbolizing the size and position of the actual window. So it is easy to find the actual cutting of a zoom in a bigger image.
Clicking on the Julia constant of a Julia image in the status bar displays the Julia constant of the actual image in all open windows.

26 October 2008: V.2.00:

Different color gradients possible.

qt-mt230nc.zip	1,3 MB	Qt-DLL (qt-mt230nc.dll)	2.3	Windows

¹⁾ tested with SuSE Linux 8.1, Knoppix 3.8 and Knoppix 4.0
²⁾ tested with Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP

Attention, Windows-Users: You will need the file qt-mt230nc.dll additionally to the calculator's zip-file. Extract it into the same folder as the calculator's *.exe-file.

Changes version 1.10 -> version 1.11:

Casio calculators: Rounding error in conversion from decimal to sexagesimal numbers fixed: E.g. the conversion of 2.0333333 results in 2°1°60 instead of 2°2°0.
Besides Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V you can use Ctrl-Insert and Shift-Insert for copy and paste.
As under Linux also under Windows the configuration file is created in the user's home directory, not in the program directory.

Changes version 1.00 -> version 1.10:

Data editor is available (Casio fx-3600P and Casio fx-85v).
Pasting data with Ctrl-V from the clipboard into the display works again under Windows.
Minor bugfixes.

Changes version 0.99 -> version 1.00:

Call of a function (sine, cosine etc.) immediately after starting the calculator does not result in a crash any longer.
There is the option "always on top" in the configuration dialog now.
Desktop- and dialog icons added.

Changes version 0.98 -> version 0.99:

Entering of e.g. "3 a^b/c sin" does not result in a crash any longer (Casio).
It is possible to paste numbers into the calculator with CTRL-v now, and even whole sequences of key clicks using the shortcut symbols.
Integral calculus improved (Casio fx-3600P).

Changes version 0.97 -> version 0.98:

Incomplete operations in combination with function calculations reachable by the INV key led to the same problems as described below.
Example: "5 * INV 10^x =" delivered 10⁵*10⁵ = 1e10 (Casio Calculators) or 1*10⁵ = 1e5 (TI-30) instead of 500000.
Casio calculators: Entering of e.g. "5 * INV M-" resulted in 0.25 instead of 25.
TI-30: Shifting of the exponent with "EE" and "INV EE" works again.

Changes version 0.96 -> version 0.97:

Incomplete operations in combination with function calculations delivered not the same result as the original calculator.
Example: Entering "5*ln=" resulted in ln(5)*ln(5)=2.590... (Casio fx-3600P and Casio fx-85v) or 1*ln(5)=1.609... (TI-30) instead of 5*ln(5)=8.047...
An incomplete operation of the kind "5*=" entered directly after switching on the calculator delivered correctly 25 (Casio fx-3600P and Casio fx-85v) or 5 (TI-30). But, entering "5*=" a second time gave the errornous result of 0.

Changes version 0.95 -> version 0.96:

Crash when starting as console application fixed.
Starting the default help browser under Windows XP will work now.
Error in sexagesimal calculations fixed (Casio fx-85v).
The operator x^1/y may be used as constant operator too now (Casio fx-85v).
The display is improved (Casio fx-85v).
Storing of configuration is done now not only if closing the calculator with the "OFF"-Button but if closing with the window closer "x" as well (TI-30).
Immediately after the start of the calculator e.g. the calculation "6*=" resulted to 36 (TI-30: 6) instead to 0. This is fixed.
