Light Blue 7.0.2

We’ve been continuing to improve Light Blue 7, and we’ve just released another minor update. Light Blue 7.0.2 includes the following changes, based on the feedback that you’ve been sending us:

• Fixed a problem on Windows where editing the content of an HTML editor, and then immediately clicking on another record, could update the wrong record.
• Fixed a problem where viewing the Outbox with a particular combination of filters set could cause a crash.
• When you copy and paste text in one of our HTML editors (e.g. when editing an email or email template), the formatting of the copied text is now preserved.
• When you export a form template, it now includes the public form submitted email, submit button text, and HTML versions of the form emails.
• Fixed a problem on Windows where printing from a computer that includes accented characters in the username could cause an error.
• The margins for unbranded emails sent from Light Blue are now more standard.
• If a client uses the ‘I will pay offline’ button on a contract that includes a booking form, the confirmation page that appears now includes your alternative payment information.
• The business hours preferences menus now include 30 minute intervals.
• Fixed a problem where, if you’re using using a localisation that includes translations of the “weddings”, “bride”, and “groom” keywords, the English versions of those words wouldn’t trigger various special features (e.g. setting the shoot title to the bride & groom’s name, selecting the bride & groom as signatories for a contract, and mail-merge tags that would include both the bride and groom’s details).
• Linking an incoming email or text message to a record, or creating a new enquiry from it, now marks the message as read.
• When printing or mail-merging custom field checkboxes, show their values as “yes” or “no” (or the localised value) instead of “1” or “0”.
• Added a ‘Reply All’ button to the email dialog.
• When trying to send or schedule an email, you’re now warned if it doesn’t have a subject line.
• Fixed a problem where editing custom dates in the report dialog was producing database errors.
• Fixed a problem where billing names and net amounts on a tax report could be displayed incorrectly if the report is run on a cash basis and includes sales that include items with more than one tax rate.
• On printed templates, we’ve made your client’s VAT number & contact details part of the same chunk of text as the contact name and address. This means that they will use the same margin settings as the main address, but you might need to adjust your ‘first page top margin’ setting to accommodate the extra height.
• Removed a rogue # on the printed version of a purchase record.
• When creating an email from a sale or quote record, its linked shoot is now automatically included in the list of linked records. This means that the email will appear in the shoot’s Activity panel as well as that of the sale or quote.
• When importing into a custom checkbox field, we’re now treating “1”, “true”, “yes”, and the localised value of “yes” as “1”
• When parsing a full name into parts (e.g. when importing a contact’s full name from an API submission), we now assume that a single word name is the first name.
• If you’re sending emails via your own outgoing mail server, we’ve now raised the maximum number of attachments to 50, and the maximum total size of the attachments to 25MB.
• Incoming Data records (from forms and API submissions) are now handled properly when you merge or delete the record that you’ve linked it to.
• If your ‘Prices Include Tax’ preference is set to true, display gross income, expenditure, and profit in charts. Otherwise, display net income, expenditure, and profit.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when loading the Outbox.
• Corrected the French spelling of our “form unavailable” message.
• Fixed a problem where Cmd-Tabbing out of Light Blue when you’re clicked into an HTML editor, and then going back to Light Blue, treated it as if the Cmd key was still held down.
• Fixed a problem on Windows where hitting the Return key while editing a form or contract email would be treated as if you clicked the Publish button.
• Fixed a problem where the alignment of text in an email could be ignored when you send it.
• Added support for yyyy/mm/dd formatted dates to our API.
• Fixed a problem where the email sent out when a client fills in a form didn’t use any custom text colour that you’d set.
• When sending an email via your own outgoing mail server, the reply-to address is set to that email account’s email address instead of the default email address for your Light Blue client portal.
• We’ve adjusted the padding around checkbox controls in our forms.
• Fixed a problem where multiple paragraphs in a static text block on forms could fail to be displayed properly.
• If you’re charging your client a booking fee as part of an online contract, and your client clicks the “I will pay offline” button, we now display your alternative payment text on the confirmation page.
• Fixed a problem where clicking ‘Add Payment’ on a sale that’s been included in a tax report could erroneously warn you that the sale hasn’t been invoiced.
• When you credit a sale that’s been published for online payment, you’re now asked if you’d like to remove the sale from your client portal.
• Fixed a problem with trying to import from CSV files that contain quoted line breaks.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when using the ‘Split Day View Into One Column Per Resource’ option in the calendar.
• Fixed any unexpected quits that have been reported to us.
