NPNMR 2.2 beta

01 09 2008

The Microsoft Windows and Linux versions of NPNMR2.2 is ready and can be downloaded from this website.

Improvements:

• The button bar of the spectral window has been removed. The functionality is now located in the main toolbar
• A shortcut menu has been added for selecting display items such as grid, axes, peaks etc. for faster access.
• The toolbar has been revamped. It now consumes less space on the screen. Functionality has been concentrated on single toolbar buttons by adding submenus to the toolbar.
• Toolbar icons can be used in three different sizes: 16x16 24x24 and 32x32 pixels.
• The “Bruker” file open dialog has been improved.
• The explorer window now holds thumbnail images of the loaded files for easy selection.
• Line widths of integrals, peaks, selection rectangles and labels have been enlarged for better visibility on large displays.
• Table format generation is now interactive. A new dialog has been added that allows the editing of single table cells for table output (assignment tables, peaks tables etc.).
• A preview option for table printing has been added. Preview and output in RTF and TXT (ASCII) format is possible.
• Tables can be printed directly by a single button click.
• Tables can be attached to their parent display.
• Integral- and Multiplet tables have been added.
• Many dialogs have been overhauled to reduce the complexity of the user interface.
• The “Whittaker Smoother” baseline correction was added (user demand).
• Dot-display mode added for 1D data.
• A new cursor mode (hand) was introduced. This mode is used for shifting data by dragging the mouse on the spectral display (not the axes).
• Undo functionality was extended.
• Loading of nD-JCAMP data has been improved and is now much faster.
• Support for Mac OS X 10.5.2. was added. NPNMR now runs on all major desktops: Windows, Linux and Apple Macintosh.

Bug fixes:

• When loading data from a session, previous color settings are ignored. Fixed.
• Processing of 3D data with water suppression lead to crashes. Fixed.
• Traces for phasing were sometimes not visible when the OpenGL pipeline was used for rendering. Fixed.
• When adding methylene shifts (two proton shifts for one x-nucleus), the second proton shift was not transferred correctly to the assignment table. Fixed.
• Irregular behavior when shifting spectra with the mouse. Fixed.
