TOPIC: Beta Version 2.5.7 completed features, NOW RELEASED.

Re: Beta Version 2.5.7 completed features, NOW RELEASED. 16 years 2 months ago #159

I downloaded the new updates, thank you for doing all of them.

Some questions:
Where do I pick "bullet" option in between comments?

Under open template- it says template name ,template description,but niether did anything. Under save template it says, file name , template name, I am not sure what that means but I did check the box for my default to open and it did. Maybe you should remove the open template info and keep the save ttemplate info?

Is the low resolution problem fixed?

Are the creating documents problems corrected? (centering)

Where do I match the words Report Summary to my size, font, color?

Am I able to (or does it now have) spaces in between lines on the cover page? Can I adjust font size or bold items on the cover page?

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately I did not get to most of the items that were on your list. The main focus was the items that I have listed above. I ended up spending the entire past week rewriting the Bulk Add Photos as there were quite a few people having problems using it if they have a very low amount of ram on their computer and were trying to import too many photos. Now that I have that out of the way I can spend the next couple of days getting to the other items on my 4 page list, like the ones you're talking about.

The bullet option was remove while I try to come up with a good bullet. I have it working with an * but I need to find a bullet which is basically a character in a font that both windows and mac computers have.

I did redo the problems that low resolution caused on the photo page to move the 2 check boxes to their own line but it made the photo so small you could barely see it. So I moved it back while I try to figure out how exactly to fit so much information onto the screen when you're running at 800x600.

For the new open/save template. When you click open template, you can't change the name or description, they are set to read only. The information is meant to be entered when you are saving a template, and then it will appear the next time you go to open a template. Here's an example for when you're saving.

FileName: Timpani Residential Con
Template Name: Timpani Residential Template for Condos
Description: This template is setup specifically to handle condos. Multiple sections have been removed that are considered common areas. The pool section of the report was removed, as well as the roof. Certain comments were added to reflect condo associations.

Note that the file name and template name COULD and probably would be the exact same for most people on Windows. Unfortunately on a mac, you can't have really long file names (like windows used to be limited as well). Because of this I created a filename field which is going to be the actual file name, and a template name field which is the name of the template that will show at the top of the program when you open it, as well as help you determing which template it is.

Once you have entered this info on the save template, you will see it on the open template. If you sent your template to another person, they would also see the info, which would be useful to them (gives them an idea of what you were thinking).

Does that make sense?

By the way, now that the big stuff is done, I can put out another new beta in a few days with several of the other new options.

Mark, did you try changing the border format under Report Settings->Options?

Yes I did the border format checkbox but have wait to see how it looks in a report.  Thanks for doing all of this.

Sure thing. I wish I had gotten more done. But now that some of the major items are out of the way, I can spend this week working on a lot of the smaller items.

Questions for Dominic and other users on adding pointing objects to photos and changing comments.

After adding several elements there doesn't seem to be a way to delet individual pieces without undoing them all and starting over. Is this correct?

Is there a way to adjust the line thickness on boxes and circles?

Is there a way to make ovals instead of just circles?

Is there a way to move the circle. box around after creation?

It's going to take a fair amount of time to change the comments to those I like to use. I prefer complete sentences and more expansive comments.

Not a complaint but how are the current users dealing with this.

BTW-I have purchased the product and have downloaded 2.5.7
