March 16th, 2009 in Danny and Nigel have now finished a movie about the latest release (see below).
To be honest, I didn’t feel that excited about v1.25 … until I saw the movie. The new features don’t sound that exciting in print, but I reckon the movie will wake you up to the possibilities. If you want to upgrade from Retro … store your files where you like … use Remix over a network … organise or use templates … there’s plenty here for you.
(make sure to click ‘full screen’ – bottom right hand corner – after the movie starts)
Of course if you’re not into movies you could read my notes I guess 
1. First introduced in the beta release v1.22, the “portable projects” feature means you can now easily move projects around between different computers, or use Remix across a network. Each project folder includes all the data Remix needs to work on a particular job, including the low-res proxies. We made a separate movie about this feature at the time of the last beta release.
2. You can now position apertures by entering coordinates: select an aperture or apertures, right
click and position them by entering a distance to the left, top, bottom or right of the layout.
3. You can now import Retro .PJF files (under the File menu). Take care: we have tested this thoroughly, but please let us know if you discover any problems. TWO KNOWN ISSUES: Retro’s lines are not supported by Remix; apertures rotated in Retro will need to be adjusted after importing into Remix.
4. The Open in Editor and PS Actions buttons now allow you to open and edit a cropped, resized duplicate of the original image so you can (eg) add vignettes.
5. You can now move templates from one collection to another by dragging and dropping.
6. Shift-dragging templates (which adds a group of apertures rather than the layout) no longer deletes the existing apertures on the layout.
7. So that Remix can more accurately reflect album suppliers’ requirements, the total number of layouts allowed in album now includes the total permissible flips and wings. Remix will warn you if you add more layouts, wings and/or flips than allowed, but not allow you to
9. Images can now be deleted from a Collection when reviewing full screen.
10. Asuka book exported layouts are now named correctly.
11. Images can now be double clicked on the album design window to view full them screen.
12. Selecting any QBY resources in Check For Updates will now download all available
QBY resources.
13. Vendors using the Supplier version only: Mat Cutter registration is now required to cut mats, and you can now add a new Studio in the Supplier Version.
14. Between them, v1.22 (beta) and 1.25 also include 40 bug fixes, which you can read about in the release notes.
Cheers, Ian
