Hi Ronny (and anyone interested),
attached is the latest update of the FREE BDSwapImage macro. The latest version has built upon the QuickSwap module (select 2 images and then swap them with one click) by adding a QuickSwapSize module which not only swaps 2 images, but also swaps their sizes.The macro also has the original module SwapImage module which pops up a userform and allows the user to choose how the 2 images are swapped (e.g. swap the position of their top left corners, bottom right corners, etc). Here is a screen capture of how the modules appear in the Macro Manager docker, assign shortcut buttons/keystrokes to make them one click away:
Refer to the video below to see the intented use of this macro:

hi Brian,
Looks good. FWIW, this functionality has been in the commercial Dizzy shaping macro since 2007, and it also includes all alignment and transformation options. Plus much more...

Hi.
Yes. That's one helluva macro. Very handy.
Do you guys use this image swap feature a lot?

Brian said: Ken mentioned one to me which he uses, you can read about it here. I especially like the author's comments when you click the linlk "Why is this software free?" What a great attitude.
I haven't seen that one, a good find.
I see the author accepts donations... we have a similar policy at macromonster to help support the freebies, half our huge inventory is free. But there's been around 5 donations in 4 years. LOL. I suppose that's why brick and mortar businesses don't survive on donations either.
In a similar vein, the author of ROMCat had no intention to amend it to recognize X4+ CDR files when the CDR format had changed.
I think Foster lead the encouragement for people to donate to see this happen, I'm glad I chipped in. While Romcat is perhaps a bit archaic, it's still my favorite way to quickly find useful clipart by keyword. Esp. when one merges libraries. What that means... several Corel Clipart disks can be searched at once. Then a user has numerous "dump truck" images come back. This is if the user has copied the the clipart CD's to HDD. Really cool!

That is for sure!! I only make free macros because I don't think they (mine) are worthy of attracting payment. If I ever get to the standard of the Johns, Sanchos, Shelbys, James' etc. of this world then I would most definitely be charging as my macros would be a lot better and of value. That day will come I am sure, it is just a matter of time. I am getting really good at figuring things out now...it took some time though, LOL.
Best regards,Brian.

I agree Foster. Even a small amount for your time.
Brian. A very affordable and easy to set up cart for your macros is Cube Cart v4. You can put product description and even a flash video. Customers can buy macros and then download them. You can even price them as you wish, say $4.50 and up.
Just an idea.

Hi Foster and John,
thanks for your encouragement and advice. I have dabbled for quite awhile now, so maybe my next step is to create a whole new set of macros (I have several almost completed, only in need of a little polish) and set something up and see how it goes.
