CrystalMaker for Mac

Improved Distance Explorer.

• The Distance Explorer window has been given a major overhaul in this release, with a clearer display and more-intuitive operation.
• The Toolstrip is now left-aligned. The toolbar includes buttons to toggle the Output pane and the Sidebar. The "Search From" and "Search To" are now drop-down buttons. The PDF sidebar now uses tabs instead of radio buttons and the colour and Actions buttons appear next to the relevant tab We have also streamlined the list content, removing any "dummy elements".

Improved Document Interface.

• The document window gets some general interface tweaks designed to improve the overall user experience.
• The Atoms Inspector now has a neater bottom bar with improved icon spacing. The Polyhedral Style popover (visible when clicking on a Polyhedral style in the Atoms list) now shows more detailed tool tips for atom-sphere styles, with tips on how to set the actual sphere style.
• We have streamlined the Planes Inspector's bottom bar, removing the "hkl" popup and moving its Invert Indices command to the Actions popup.
• The Output Log now uses a dynamic icon for the horizontal/vertical toggle control: this changes according to the layout mode.

Miscellaneous Changes.

• This version includes miscellaneous improvements and occasional bug fixes.
• The Transform > View Direction > Parallel to Lattice Plane command is now enabled when more than one lattice plane is visible; under those circumstances it behaves just as the Planes Inspector's View Parallel command. The latter now shows an alert if no planes are selected.
• CIF import is slightly faster, thanks to optimized text loading.
• Fixed a problem with the Reflectance Group in the Extras inspector. Resetting the pane’s values to defaults caused some parts of the program to become unresponsive.
• Fixed a rare bug with the Add Centroid command which could lead to a crash.
• Fixed a potential crash during crystal relaxation caused by a null information string.
