TOPIC: Home Inspector Pro 3.0.5 Released!

There's an undo when you're typing a comment (like if you just deleted a word within a comment), not one to un-delete.

Hello Dominic,

I love the photo auto drop down feature. Any chance of going one step further and having the caption narratives (3rd drop down window) auto open when the 2nd box is selected?

Hmm, that's a possibility. I have a few other ideas to speed the process up even more and should be able to integrate that in.

I just downloaded the 3.0.5 for MAC it installed fine, but I am getting a "Cannot launch Java application". Any ideas?

Hi Ethan,

Install www.homeinspectorpro.com/dmdocuments/HomeInspectorPro-3_0_6.dmg

What version of Mac are you using? Send me an email or jump on live chat when you get a chance so we can do a remote session.

Concerning the photograph drop downs:

Developing a new weatherization template using 3.0.5 I lost a feature that I used to use (I made adjustments to the template for other reasons as well and I'm not trying to solve the problem, just throw out some information).

In the past I would upload my photographs. I would then use a keyboard shortcut by left clicking on the drop-down box and typing the first letter of the title I wish to use.

If there were more than one title with the same beginning letter, you could scroll through those selections by retyping the first letter until it showed up.

With the new version, you have one choice and the second drop-down box opens automatically.

The second issue was about the number and order of the selections in the drop-down box. There in order by which they were created not chronologically or alphabetically. There is no way to change their location once they're there.

So in the new version you must click on the drop-down and scroll through the selections. I don't know how some of you use all the tabs that you assign a new templates, but when I tried this, my drop-down selections got huge. There was really no rhyme or reason for their assigned order in accordance with the report order. This requires that you basically read every tab and deficiency box title in the template.

One improvement that I would like to see concerning the picture caption boxes is if they would expand by hovering over them or open another text box so you can see everything written under the photograph without scrolling horizontally back to the front and scroll back and read back to the end. Currently I cut and paste back into DragonPad, edit and cut and paste back into HIP.

I sometimes dictate right into the caption and there is no way to proofread what the computer wrote.
