db&w has released a second, free update to exrTrader.

exrTrader V1.0c features numerous bug fixes as well as extended functionality.

The included image loaders and savers for LightWave 3D are free to use, the exrTrader Layered Buffer Saver requires a license.

exrTrader V1.0c is available for Windows 32bit as well as 64bit as well as OSX (CFM and UB). All supported versions are included in the download.

Changes in exrTrader V1.0c since V1.0b:

Fixed Bugs:

• exrTrader crashes if the GUI is open and you click on the plugin list entry again
• Saves in wrong directory
• LimitedRegion Border doesn't save using the buffer saver
• Doesn't read YUV images
• OSX Version of exrTrader doesn't compress images
  
• Custom channel names are now loaded and used (they were saved... but not loaded)

Changes:

• The Master plugin settings are now respected by the saver, so both 32 bit float and 16 bit half images can be saved using the vanilla saver. 16bit float is the default. 32 bit integer is not supported and will revert to 32bit float
• Multiple instances of exrTrader in a scene will now load back their settings properly. Previously only the settings of the laster image filter where used... multiple times.
• The windows version uses a different low level i/o implementation to load/save data. This is mostly technical in nature, but might result in slightly faster loading/saving.
• OSX CodeWarrior: changed compiler settings to make the vanilla saver with all build of LightWave (thanks to Chilton for helping me out here).
• Improved support for loading and saving images that are not RGBA in the vanilla loader and saver.
• Added support for handling foreign characters in file names
