A crashing bug was reported by David Zizza in the variations drawer handling. David also suggested a small usability feature regarding loading variations. Here’s the changelog:

• Fixed: a critical bug that caused ImageFramer to crash when working with variation that used different frames.
• New: When loading designs into the variations drawer, if they were not named specifically before saving through the variations table, they’ll now be loaded and shown in the table using their file name. If the user did change the default variation name before saving, it will be shown instead of the file name. So both approaches now produces easier variation handling
• Fixed: In french localization, the save setting dialog could become too narrow, causing the buttons on the buttom to collide. Fixed by limiting the minimum width of the save dialog to accommodate the longer french text.

ImageFramer 2.4 has the following changes:

• Snow Leopard fixes for the frame filters. No other known problems exist in Snow Leopard. Report if you find any.
• French localization. Now ImageFramer is available in English, French and Japanese.
• Some memory leak fixes.

Enjoy and let your friends know about ImageFramer.

My application is localized in English and in Japanese. A Japanese company (ACT2), who sell ImageFramer in Japan also does the localization. We worked together and it is a good experience. One of the things I’ve added in version 2.0.1 is a default startup image that loads in ImageFramer, when user launches it.

Below is the picture that I selected for this task. It’s a photo I took in Spain about 8 years ago.

So, I sent the Photoshop file with to the Japanese team to replace the text with the Japanese one. They did. Same apparent font, same effect but something changed .

Yes, the whole image was translated into Japanese, it seems. 

Actually, I qute like the image.
