This release of exrTrader fixes one minor issue that crept up after exrTrader V1.0c was released.

*****************
*** IMPORTANT ***
*****************
Please re-load the plugin into LightWave 3D, the name of the loader has changed and LightWave needs to be made aware of that by adding the plugin again.

The PDF manual has not been changed.

Here is a list of changes in exrTrader V1.0e since V1.0d:

Fixed Bugs:

* Fixed a crash bug when the exrTrader and the OpenEXR Settings interface where used alternately.


Here is a list of changes in exrTrader V1.0d since V1.0c:

Fixed Bugs:

* The "OpenEXR Settings..." Generic plugin would apply and add exrTrader, not the "OpenEXR Settings..." master handler.
* Fixed a bug crashing LW when the Settings master handler was removed.
* Fixed a bug cuasing LW to hang when exiting
* Renamed the loader to avoid conflicts

Here is a list of 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


Here is a list of changes in exrTrader V1.0b since V1.0:

Fixed bugs:

* Render Mode Settings weren't saved
* Quick Buffer Enable RGBAZ doesn't select Depth
* Extra Buffers don't get saved as image files if the output path is a UNC file name.
* The image filter saver crashed in versions of LightWave 3D prior to 8.5
* Fixed a spelling mistake in the "About..." button on the main exrTrader interface
* Fixed a potential crash when using the image saver in Modeler

Changes:

* All displayed file names now display the file name in relation to the current content directory, making them shorter and easier to read. This mainly affects the description of the plugin in the image filters plugin panel of LightWave and the "Review Settings..." panel.
* Removed the option to select RGB or RGBA channels from the global settings. Images are now saved by the image saver with all channels as passed on by LightWave 3D. Render output images are always saved as RGBA.
* The exrTrader image filter export will display which images it saves when running in lwsn. This is to aid the debugging of renderfarm renders by checking the log files of lwsn.
* Added a button to access http://www.exrtrader.com from the registration panel.
