HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!!
HIP 5.2.5 has been Released for Windows & Mac
Note that this WILL require you to tweak your Cover Page design a bit if you used that feature. One of the big changes here was to add 10x as many points to the grid to move objects (vs the 3x3 that was there before). To update, log into the HIP site with your account (top right). Click your name on the top right, click Downloads.
Download HIP, reboot, install. If you don't reboot Java may have some of the files locked and you'll get a warning.
Tons of version update notes below. There were a few more smaller items.
UPDATE LIST:
- Added a > button to the right of Section/Item above each photo. This takes you directly to the narratives for that item.
Keyboard shortcut. Use 1 & 2 keys to flip forward/back within tabs of a section.
Digital stationery is now linked to by reference to the HIP directory. For example, this means that as long as the stationery is in the root of the HIP directory you can move the HIP directory to any machine and it would load fine. Before if the path to the HIP directory changed (for example moved from Windows to Mac) you'd have to readd the stationery.
Totally redesigned Reference Repair List interface. RRL selections save if you close out.
