TOPIC: Home Inspector Pro 2.8.2 Released For Mac & Windows

Home Inspector Pro 2.8.2 Released For Mac & Windows 14 years 2 months ago #35349


2.8.2 has been released.: www.homeinspectorpro.com/dmdocuments/Hom...Pro-2_8_2-Update.exe .


2.8.2 - Updates

Bug Fix: Reopened inspections with a December date show 12 as the month rather than 0.

Bug Fix: Prevent blank named Inserts from occuring.

Bug Fix: Correct incorrect number of total pages with Header/Footer format 2.


Design Change: Adjusted company name on bottom of Header/Footer format 2 so that a longer name will fit.

Design Change: Updated the About->Contact Support menu to link to our new Help Desk/Ticket System.

Design Change: Adjusted size & photos at back of report to match layout in the rest of the report.



2.8.1 - Updates

Fix for a few tablet brands (including CTL2Go) that create double clicks too quickly.

Bug Fix causing Edit Comments to stop toggling on and off in rare occasions.

Here's a list of new features since 2.6.6.8 since many of you didn't install the 2.7 Beta version. I've listed the latest updated first. There's some big new features to test out, I'm looking forward to any feedback! There are several additional features that are almost completed, or completed but need more testing that will be released soon as well.

2.7.7 updates since 2.7.5 & 2.7.6. Updated the first post in the thread too:

New Feature: Added move up/down for Insert comments

New Feature: Added ability to rename Insert comments by double clicking on them in the list.

New Feature: Added ability to add inserts from the Add Comment option.


Design Change: Adjusted the green use for the viewed tab color. Will be customizable in the future.

Bug Fix: Inserts now save with inspection and won't cause problems when being used after reopening inspection.

2.7.5.0

New Feature: Text Inserts (drop down boxes) can be added to Damage Panel/observation areas. (Still working on final logistics for Selection Panels). Add an Insert when editing or adding a new Damage Panel comment. You'll need to create a new Insert first which is done in the same area as well as add the options for the Inserts. When viewing the Inserts in the Damage Panel list you will see the Insert name in the format <<Insert Name>>. When you move a comment to Red/Black you can then double click the comment and select which value you'd like to use from the drop down list. If you move a comment with an Insert to Red/Black but don't choose an option, a warning message will pop up to let you know when you leave the item with the Insert. Let us know if you have any suggestions on how Inserts work as it's a large new feature.

New Feature: Added support for Botswana, Brazil, Croatia, Namibia, Portugal, and Spain

New Feature: Summary page can be turned on/off under Section Colors & Print Order like other pages.

New Feature: Summary page can have it's header font, border, background color, etc changed under Section Colors & Print Order like other pages.

New Feature: Clients can now digitally sign the contract via Report Settings->Client Signature.

New Feature: Tabs change to green if you're using ratings and check a box on the tab, or if you view the tab and aren't using ratings.

New Feature: Added the ability to not display agent information on the cover page. Can be turned on/off under Report Settings->Options.

New Feature: New Texas TREC 7-2 template.

New Feature: Added new ADA template for checking disability accessibility (normally for commercial properties).

New Feature: Added Firedoor template.

New Feature: Added Phase 1 Fireplace Inspection template based on InterNACHI CommSOP.

New Feature: Added 4 Point template.

New Feature: Added new variables for $ClientFaxNumber, $InspectionSize

New Feature: Added integration with the Inspection Support Network (ISN). For more information on the ISN, visit www.InspectionSupport.net . You can go to File->Import Data From ISN Client and select from an inspection you haven't started on the ISN. All client information will be imported into Home Inspector Pro. If the agent involved in the transaction is not in the Home Inspector Pro address book, a new agent will be created and their information added. If they already exist, their information will be updated with Home Inspector Pro assuming the ISN data is up to date. This will save all ISN members quite a bit of time retyping information and also allow you to view all inspections you need to write reports for from within Home Inspector Pro.

New Feature: Added text font style for photo captions under Report Settings->Formatting.

New Features: Added text font style for the description text (i.e. Observations, Materials) for Selection & Damage Panels.

New Feature: Added in the $InspectionFee variable to be used in documents and in the contract section.

New Feature: Added page numbers to contract.

Design Change: Company name on contract now allows for longer names without wrapping to 2nd line.

Design Change: If you click on the Sort button the program will now ask if you're SURE you want to sort.

Design Change: File->Save Contract has been removed. The contract now automatically saves as soon as you leave the contract editor.

Design Change: If you close out of the program by clicking on the X, and then type in an invalid file name or click cancel, you'll remain in the program rathern than exiting the program.

Design Change: If you close out of the program by clicking on the X, and then click on the X of the dialog box that appears, you'll be returned to the program rather than exit the program.

Design Change: On the contract page, the words Inspection Contract now match the font of the report title.

Design Change: # and ' are no longer allowed in file names as they cause conflicts when uploaded to the website (some browsers don't understand the characters).

Bug Fix: Memory leak if a you started drawing an arrow, rectangle, etc and then exited the photo editor before finishing drawing the object.

Bug Fix: Report Settings->Formatting->Header Font which affects the Summary, End of the report Photo Page and contract pages was not applying the correct color.

Bug Fix: When loading a company logo the program was only allowing images with lowercase letters as the file extension (i.e. .jpg). Uppercase is now accepted as well.

I am busy writing reports the next few days but will keep a close watch on the comments.

The drop downs and photo edit tools will be what interests me the most to read about.
Please post all thoughts here guys.

Drop Down Boxes: Just a couple of suggestions (with the little I’ve work on this so far):
Add some editing functions—other than just ‘Delete’.  e.g. be able to change the “List” name once it has been created w/o having to delete it and start over; Add ‘move up/down’ arrows for “comment” names—so the default comment (the one in number one position) is as desired.

Strikethrough lines added into 2.7.6 on 9/6. -DM

Serge are you saying there is no way to reorder the list unless you start from scratch?

How about rename?,can that be done from the program files or X86?
