For the next release of ImagePlay: The redesigned “Starting Points” window that displays when ImagePlay starts up. The interface has been simplified with emphasis being placed on the project templates. The “Blank Project” is functionally the same as choosing File> New Project.
Non-scientific stopwatch comparison of the old binary single-file format vs. the new package format. Project contains 4 layers, total file size is about 23MB.
Load:
Package: 6.39 seconds
Binary: 22.18
Save As:
Package: 12.16
Binary: 14.24
Curiously there doesn’t seam to be much difference in the Save times. There may be something I’m overlooking in the implementation here as the load/save performance of the old format should be hinging on the same essential bottleneck.
