The dialogs for setting image filter options now have a preview window, allowing you to see the effect of changing parameters before applying the filter to your image The preview window can be toggled to show the original image or a preview based on the parameters that can be adjusted from the dialogs. The preview image resolution can be adjusted. The lower the resolution, the quicker it is to display the preview. When using a fast computer it is possible to set the preview to automatically update in real time as you adjust the parameters. For slower machines it is better to turn this option off and generate a preview by pressing the preview button.
The Canny edge detection image filter has been extended to allow more control by setting 4 parameters. Detailed help has been added to explain what the paramters do.
Memory management has been improved to prevent firefox crashing when closing a zinc application by using the back button, home button or selecting something from your bookmarks. The garbage collection now works well for several of the machines tested BUT on one machine it was still possible to crash the browser by loading up a zinc application, using the back button and then loading up another zinc application. This issue may be related to which graphics card your machine has installed.
The windows version now displays the plugin as the correct size, rather than a tiny 100x100 square.
