I made a new test build, please download it here: http://home.tiscalinet.de/pva2divx/AVSEdit.rar


-----new features-----

crop dialog rewritten (almost from scratch) because DirectShow had to be replaced with the AVIFile API and the API's are to different to modify the dialog only. There was a strange bug with DirectShow, opening a AviSynth script did break all COM+ related API's in .NET. The new crop dialog is fully scalable, can be resized to original size, 4:3 and 16:9, is more precise, shows more values, it don't flicker, has a more compact outfit, reacts on the left mouse button so people without wheelmouse aren't discriminated any longer :)

other benefits are the AVIFile API takes less memory so the SetMemoryMax function usually can be left out. The startup is faster. AviSynth errors are always shown in the preview which didn't work always with DirectShow. Some DirectShow filters screw up the DirectShow filter chain that is automatically build when opening a AviSynth script and let programs that rely on it fail, finally this won't happen again in AVSEdit and DVX. The drawback is playback is not supported in the preview because it could be to slow, the externel preview (F6) can be used instead.

catalan and Portuguese translation

the RichTextBox of the script editor was replaced with the text editor control of the SharpDevelop IDE. Finally drag and drop within the script editor is enabled and the syntax highlighting is much improved because all this things are build in the control. There is no longer flickering

-----fixed bugs-----

colordialog didn't open for non hex values

string parameters which are variables were pasted in quotes by the parameter grid

the save toolbar button wasn't disabled properly

user functions in comments are not added

-----improved features-----

Excellent news !

Unfortunately I won't time to try it until the end of this month.
However I've build the installer and put the package here:
http://dvx.sf.net/AVSEdit1.0b2.exe

I've also updated the help with the latest documentation. (now available in a compiled form in /cvsroot/avisynth2/avisynth/distrib/docs, for the next time)

Speaking about documentation, could you please fix the following:

When you call the help file from AVSEdit, please run the program with "start program in directory" parameter set to the help directory and not AVSEdit directory because pictures won't be displayed if you don't (to try it, open the avsmon help). This is caused by the fact that pictures are inside another chm file than the rest of the documentation, this is the only way we found to share the pictures amongst the different translations of the AviSynth documentation.

If everything is ok, maybe someone could release it on sourceforge.
