rdimage is in it now so when you click the bmp button you can go to it or to the old method but beware rdimage is in an Alpha state as it crashes (sends you back to rdworks so no harm). It also has dpi and mm settings for interval.

Thanks for posting. FWIW, RDimage has been in the last few releases. There is a way to make RDWorks still use the old photo processing function but I can't recall it at the moment and the thread discussing that was most likely lost during the deletion disaster.

for the last couple of releases a dialogue box is given when images are loaded or edited enabling the choice of editor. Prior to this the ways suggested here were to delete the rdimage executable or to rename it to something else. The rdworks would then default to the original editor (after complaining that the editor was not available). A script was written which renamed the file from rdimage<>new name but I never used this as the image editor seemed to be "poor"

In FILE PARAMETER now exist a check box named ?????RDimage?? or something like this. Everytime you click BMP to edit a image, ask if you want to use rdimage. With the checkbox without mark, click YES or NO rdwokrs run rdimage. But, if you mark the checkbox and select NO, rdworks runs the old bmp aplication.
No other changes at my first 10 minutes with 01.40 version.
Ah, the set position reference box (this 9 points box in toolbar)... the selected position NOT correspond with the position showed. And in some points (lower-right) the icon just turn to grey no-data
