New application for creating route guides.

Windows XP. It happened to me once, but I haven't been able to replicate the problem---everything has worked as advertised since. The one time occurred while editing an old file (created with one of the earlier versions).

Version 1.4.2 (8/25/09)
- Added mouse wheel zooming (use alt/option key)
- Modified zoom stops
- Optimized rendering performance while zooming
- Added What's New window on first run

Having just used it, real quick, as a test, it's freakin' awesome. Thanks, Alma!

Thank you!

Version 1.5.0 (8/27/09)
- Added undo and redo under edit menu
- Added keyboard shortcuts for line size
- Fixed bug with saving data files

That's right...

UNDO AND REDO!!!!

So this program is AWESOME!

on a side note, does anyone else find it hilarious that a program designed for route marking has Delicate Arch for an icon? Is this a subtle hint that dean was just ahead of the curve?

Undo/redo is a really great additon. Betacreator is getting close to perfection for the job.
The only feature I'm still missing is a color background for the belay tool (the same option as for the text would be quite useful)
Thank you

Version 1.5.1 (8/28/09)
- Fixed undo and redo bugs
- Added new help menu

Sorry to those who had trouble with the undo/redo functions. Hope it's all better now.

Version 1.6.0 (8/31/09)
- Added line point editing (double click)
- Undo last segment while drawing a line
- Improvements to file saving process
- Scroll wheel zooming uses control/command key
(This was required to fix an annoying bug with the alt key.)

AWESOME !
And the line point editing works on curves too...
Thank you

Version 1.6.1 (9/2/09)
- Added translucent background for rappel/belay
- Added help documentation under help menu
- Fixed bugs with Match All to Selected Color
- Fixed bugs with Change All to Selected Size
- Fixed bug with line point editing

Hopefully the background on the rappel/belay tool makes it stand out better for you all. It was my best effort of doing something similar to the text box backgrounds.

Hi Alma,
Your "best effort of doing something similar to the text box backgrounds" on the rappel/belay tool is more than enough. Great job!

I might be just splitting hairs, but for a few colors (shades of green: #00ff00 to #00ff66, #33ff00 and #33ff33, #66ffoo) the background for the belay tool should be the dark one for better contrast.

Thank you for your work.

Version 1.6.2 (9/8/09)
- Fixed bug with panning after saving
- Fixed bug with moving objects
- Improved algorithm for text/belay background

The contrast should be much better for text background colors and the belay/rappel tool.

I am such a noob at Image Editing. Where do I start?? I need Photo Shop but who has the $$$$$

I have used this for close photos of just 4-5 anchors and for large zoomed out photos showing multiple 5 and 6 pitch routes across an entire formation and love the program. The undo/ redo feature really makes it work, as well as the ability to save the data layer separately. That feature alone makes this far better than doing this through regular photo editing software- I can open up my data layer and the original uncompressed photo and add new things or start where I left off, unlike those other approaches!
Fantastic array of icons, very useful for all sorts of applications. You have succeeded in giving to the climbing community and done very well, sir. Thank you greatly, looking forward to any other fine improvements! (can't suggest any at this time. It meets all my needs)

Very cool program for sure.

Got some press on climbing.com

This sounds pretty cool - unfortunately the install failed for me.
Excuse the plug but has anyone checked out wikitopo?
