Transaction
Logging Has Been Added to PentaSuite
The latest build of PentaSuite has been
enhanced with Transaction Logging (logging of tasks performed
by specific programs).We have added transaction logging
to PentaFTP and PentaPGP. We will be adding logging to other
PentaWare programs based on user response to this new feature.Transaction
Logging gets enabled from the Advanced Options
section using the "Log Settings"
section. You can select where the Log file will be stored
and eventual size limits.
Output is in normal CSV (comma separated
variable) format which can be "read" using Microsoft
Excel.
The following information gets logged:
- User Name
- Executable File Name
- Process ID
- Date and Time
- an Event Identifier
- a Message explains what program step
was performed
for example:
Event Identifier, Message = 1600,C:\trial.zip,
c:\trial.zip.pgp,0x43CECBA1
means
- PGP File Encryption
of file C:\trial.zip that was saved as C:\trial.zip.pgp
- the PGP Key ID is 0x43CECBA1
(in Hexadecimal format). The
PGP KEY ID is a unique identifying
number associated with each PGP key. This identification
number is useful for distinguishing between two keys
that share the same user name and email address and
can be useful when needing to reconstruct a PGP Key.
Adding a Logo
to an Image Using PentaView
Now you can insert an image (such as a
Logo) on an image you are editing. All you need to do
is select the Merge Image tool, select
the image you want to insert, decide whether or not you
want this image to have a transparent background and then
press the Insert button.
You can move this image around to the
exact place you want it to be inserted on your image and
then press the left mouse button to complete
the insertion.
The Logo you add will become an integral
part of your image!If you haven't
saved the image you are editing and you change your mind,
just press the Undo
button and your image will return to its previous state.
It's as simple as that!
Adding Text to
an Image Using PentaView
Now you can add a text to an image (such
as copyright information). To do this select the Text
tool, type in the text you want to insert, choose the
color and font and then press the Insert
button.
You can move this text around to the exact
place you want it to and then press the left mouse
button to complete the insertion.
The text you add will become an integral
part of your image! If you haven't saved the image you
are editing and you change your mind, just press the Undo
button and your image will return to its previous state.
It's as simple as that!

We Have Added an Image Navigation Tool

not been enabled and the entire image is not visible in
the image window, you can navigate to bring another area
of the image into view. To do this you will use the
Pan Window to quickly change the view of an image.You
will be able to view the entire image by pressing Fit
to Screen but there can be instances when you
need to perform some task with the full size image.The
Pan Window is NOT available when Fit
to Screen has been enabled.We
