ANN: "Seamless Tiles Generator 2" updated

[Wilhelm Sanke, FB01]

 Just uploaded a slightly updated version of the "Seamless Tiles Generator 2" to

<http://www.sanke.org/Software/SeamlessTiles2.zip>

See the descriptions on page "Sample Stacks" on my website
<http://www.sanke.org/MetaMedia>.

Among other things this stack features an improved resizable and draggable
selection graphic that lets you choose a segment of any size from the imported
source image  to create a seamless tile.

The ink of the selection graphic needed to be adapted both to the differences
between Windows and MacOS and the stackfileversions 2.4 and 2.7.

With engine versions < 2.7 we need "admin" for MacOS and "srcAnd" for Windows.
For engine versions  2.7 and higher "srccopy" is necessary for both platforms to
show a transparent graphic.

Moreover, I have changed the stack extension from "*.mc" to "*.rev", to enable
users of Rev 3.0 gm 3 to see and load the stack.

See the quote of my earlier post (to the Metacard- and Improve-lists) concerning
 this special problem:

> Rev engine 3-gm-2 displays both *.rev and *.mc-files in the "open stack"

>files with the "*.rev" extension; even when you choose "All files" the display
>of mc-files is suppressed, but other files like dlls and txt files are shown.
>It is even impossible to enforce the display of mc-files by typing "*.mc" into

>3-gm-3 into the Metacard IDE shows the same restrictions: No mc-files are
>displayed. However, when you rename "Revolution.exe" to "MC.exe", both
>"Revolution stack"-files "rev" and "mc" are displayed in the "open stack"
>dialog - like before in gm-2 with "Revolution.exe". This holds for both IDEs,
>the Revolution and the Metacard IDE. The consequence for users that primarily
>work with the Rev IDE - but wish to access Metacard files once in a while -
>would be to rename their Rev engine to "MC.exe". This works fine within the Rev
>IDE.
