Improvements and fixes in August

The app has a more consistent look this month, with a navigation bar you can collapse, along with fixes for displays and connected accounts.

  • Dialogs, fields, menus and tables look and behave the same throughout the app, and the navigation bar can be collapsed.

  • Every link in the app includes its workspace, so a shared or bookmarked link opens in the right workspace.

  • Support tickets are grouped by whether they need your reply, are with Lumicast support or are closed.

  • People who can work on apps can choose a data source for them without data source permissions.

  • SharePoint, Teams, Google and LinkedIn connections stay connected and keep updating when they haven't been used for a while.

  • Custom fonts show in the editor and in previews for every workspace member, also when their name contains a dash, and font lists load faster.

  • Organisation owners can remove other owners.

  • People who may delete data sources can delete connections created by someone else.

  • Zermelo schedules show which appointments changed, such as a different group, room, teacher or time.

  • Displays keep working when Lumicast is updated while they start up.

  • The web app keeps working through a Lumicast update without a refresh.

  • Displays pick up a newly published app version without reloading.

  • Ticker text scrolls smoothly past its loop point and no longer jumps when its text changes.

  • Pages with clocks or timers play more smoothly on low-power players.

  • The transition plays when a playlist loops back to the start, and campaign items animate out properly.

  • Playlists play again on displays with an older built-in browser.

  • Some Sony BRAVIA displays no longer restart their content every 40 seconds.

  • Uninstalling or reinstalling the Windows app no longer unpairs the display.

  • The Lumicast app for Windows and Linux works behind a company proxy.

  • Changing a page's resolution scales its text again.

  • Undo in the page editor no longer empties layers inside groups.

  • Duplicating a page under a name that is taken, or sharing something that is already shared, explains what happened.

  • Portrait displays show as portrait in the display list.

  • The audit log shows who made a change that happened as a side effect, and why.
