TOPIC: Beta Version 2.5.7 completed features, NOW RELEASED.

Hi Mike,

You can click the undo button on the button left to undo the edits you have made. Once you click save photo and it returns to the normal photo page, then you can't undo any more. At that point you'd have to remove the photo and re-add it.

At the current time you can't adjust the line thickness. It's something that I could easily add though, just didn't realize it was something people would like to use. I've put it on the to-do list.

After you've created a circle or box you can't move it. You can click undo then do it again.

The comments you add into the program can be as long as you want them to be. If they are longer than a column you can hover your mouse over the item and you'll be able to see a popup with the entire comment. This allows you to see lots of comments at once, but still be able to see an entire comment if you're not sure what it says. Russ Spriggs has comments that are literally entire paragraphs.

Just make sure to Save Template when you are done so that all your comments are saved for the next inspection. Most guys create multiple templates. I was talking to Charley Bottger last night and he's on his 3rd template I believe (Residential, Mold, Pre-Inspection).

Hopefully I've answered everything! Let me know if you have any more questions.

That was quick

Maybe I wasn't clear on photo object editing.

If I for example add a circle, some descriptive text and an Arrow and then decide I don't need the circle, I have undo until they are all gone and start over. Is this correct?

The lines for the circle and boxes seemed way to thick for my taste. Perhaps a popup palet or right click option that would allow adjustment.

I'm sure I will have more questions as I get used to it but I sure appreciate you quick response and helpfulness.

Hi Mike,

I see what you're saying. Yes, you'd have to undo until you got back to the circle. At the current time there's no way to remove just an individual annotation without the ones after it. This is definitely something we can work on for a future version. I already have a few more changes planned for the Edit Photo window as it is, so I'll work those in.

I'll be patient. Thanks ;D

Ok Mike, you've been patient long enough... well at least for part of it. I implemented several new features including being able to adjust the line thickness in the photo editing section as well as being able to change the default color that is used for the lines. Both of these options can be changed from the Report Settings->Options section. I've also fixed a few other issues that were occurring when the resolution of the computer was at 800x600.

I'm packaging up the new version now and will post again when it's ready to download. I just wanted to give you something to look forward to

2.5.7.1 has been released. Beta testers will receive an email shortly. I'm still posting in this thread since there has not been a public release yet.

New Feature: You can now change the line thickness used to draw arrows, rectangles, etc in the photo editor. Set this in Report Settings->Options->Photo Editing.

New Feature: You can now change the default color used to draw arrows, rectangles, etc in the photo editor. Set this in Report Settings->Options->Photo Editing.

Design Change: If you are using 800x600 resolution the checkboxes on the add photo page are moved to their own line so they are visible.

Design Change: The gray bar that splits 2 panels (runs horizontally) can now be moved farther up/down so that all of the Edit Comments section can be seen when running in 800x600.

Design Change: Photos are now printed on the report in the order the appear in the Add Photos section, not in the order they are added. Before if you had left a space open on the first page, but it was the last photo added, it would appear last in whatever section you added it to.

Bug Fix: Users were reporting that occasionally when they removed a photo and added a new one, the old one would appear again. This has been resolved.
