2023.03.10

• Clicking on CEL/Load invokes the windows standard open file dialog. Browsing an original AAT CEL file and click open will load the file into CELImage. It doesn't yet color fits the loaded CEL.

• Pressing ESC or ` when in GetCEL or PutCEL cancels curent operation.
• Image position saved into BDP file. (Needed in CEL)
• PutCEL almost works as expected. Only thing is missing putting the CEL onto the image.

2023.02.16

• Pressing ` (the key below ESC) invokes PUTCel. It doesn't work fully, you can just move the picked CEL image around with the mouse, until you quit. Cannot continue now, I drank a beer and cannot concentrate anymore. :)

2023.02.10

• Added Pinnable property to tools, to differentiate between tools that can be selected in tool selector and the tools that cannot be selected. (The latter are used internally like GETCEL or PUTCEL.)
• Bugfix in BOX tool.

2023.02.02

• Drawing shapes respects the (F) button.
• Added a nice splash screen. (Turn it off in the .ini [Settings]/ShowSplash=No)

2023.01.31
