What’s New: September 12 2018

Posted on Sep 23, 2018

We’ve made it easier to select objects on the page, tweaked the Pages, Templates and Images panels, and improved performance of our library thumbnails.

New Features

  • Object Highlights: To make selection easier, objects will now be highlighted when hovered. This should especially make the selection of thin or small objects much easier and reduce missed clicks.

Improvements

  • In the Pages, Templates, and Images panels, right-clicking on the empty space – at the end of the library or page-list – now displays the Context Menu and offers the option of creating a New folder. Previously, you had to use the icon in the toolbar to do this.
  • Thumbnail performance has been improved in the Pages, Templates, and Images panels.

Bug Fixes

  • Images and Templates Libraries: Fixed a bug that prevented drag and drop of SVGs from the Images Library to the page.
    • When dragging and dropping an image onto the page, the mouse pointer remains on the upper-left object handle, and is no longer offset.
    • Fixed a bug that intermittently prevented the upload of images after they had been selected.
    • Added a reminder to the Templates Library that a project must be saved before a new template can be created; a similar prompt already existed for Images Library uploads.
    • When dragging multiple templates onto the page, all of them now remain selected.
    • In both libraries, when creating a ‘New folder from selection’, a bug permitted the folder to be accidentally relocated during the renaming process.
    • Fixed a bug that caused occasional errors when adding images or templates to the page.
    • Restored the double-click to add images or templates to the page – but only in Grid View.
    • Various performance improvements.
  • When using the Background Removal tool, right-clicking on an image now exits that mode and displays the Context Menu.
  • Even though ‘Select behind locked objects’ was de-selected in the Workspace > Advanced Settings, dragging still selected those objects.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the Group Border to crash when flipping an object within a group.
  • Undo now properly restores deleted Connectors along with the objects they connect.
