TOPIC: Home Inspector Pro 3.8 Released

Home Inspector Pro 3.8 has been released. You can get it by clicking on Home Inspector Pro Downloads when logged into the home page (with your username and password) of this site.

3.8

New Feature: Added TREC 7-3 form required by Texas starting 1/1/2014. Open the TREC 7-3 Template AND make sure the inspection date is in 2014 to use this template. It won't work if the inspection date is in 2013.

3.7

Bug Fix: Conflict resolved between DRAFT feature for multi inspector companies and the stationery feature.

Bug Fix: RecallChek Data Collection page bug has been fixed that prevented automatic updating during report (created in 3.6).

3.6.6

New Design: Lists remain active in red/black area even after a comment has been selected. This allows quicker changes to comments if there's a mistake or a change needs to be make.

Bug Fix: Fixed new line not created when there's numbers and no description text.

3.6.5

New Feature: When opening Mobile HIP inspections using Lists they will be properly selected and show the selections in damage panels (previously only worked in selection panels).

Design Change: Notes no longer appear in the drop down for possible photo captions.


3.6.1

New Feature: You can now rearrange photos in the report by dragging and dropping to reorder within the actual section of the report. Click Show Photos in any section to view the photos and then rearrange (you may also have photos always set to print).

New Feature: You can now hover your mouse over a picture to review the caption you chose while in the comments section (area left or red/black buttons).

Bug Fix: Removed extra comma in summary at beginning of comments.

Bug Fix: Fixed extra space and line added when the description text field is blank.

Bug Fix: "Select All" button under Report Settings->Section Colors & Print Order now actually selects all (it was missing the last item)!

Bug Fix: File->Save Template shows pops up the template selection window to choose where to save to.

3.6

New Feature: New checkbox added under Report Settings->Options->Item Options to split single items across multiple pages. By default Home Inspector Pro does NOT split single items (i.e. toilet, windows, etc) across multiple pages. If an item doesn't fit one one page, all comments for that item get pushed to the next page. This is to prevent one or two stray lines from ending up on the next page. In some templates (such as the TREC template) reports tend to have much longer items than usual (lots of comments within one item),<br> so breaking them across more than one page makes sense.

Bug Fix: The Summary Report title was previously overlapping with the text on Texas reports printed with page breaks. This has been fixed.

3.5.1

New Feature: Option added to show a horizontal line in between section items under Report Settings->Item Name Format. Works best with transparent background.

Bug Fix: Fixed issue with photos when using the new inspection merge feature

Great! Thanks for all you hard work.

I didnt notice any different yet, what was it that changed

FYI, that Mac version has been uploaded too.

Eric, it depends on what the last version you were using was! The update notes are in the message above.

Thanks for trying to work on splitting single items from one page to the next...it does not work though. I tried it on my first report today and it split not only items and sentences but at times sent just one word to the next page. It also split the rating boxes and definitions, it is a real mess. I had to uncheck it and reprocess the report. Nice try, Dom but I guess it still needs some work.

Hmm, can you send me a PDF with it splitting rating boxes. I can't recreate that and that would definitely be a problem.

Yes, it'll send one word to the next page, if that word doesn't fit. That's exactly what guys asked for! They wanted it to split text if it didn't fit on one page. Where would you like the line drawn, that's the problem? Previously it pushed an entire item to the next page if it wouldn't fit. This checkbox makes it so that it will just split the item across multiple pages if needed.
