MobileSheets Version 3.8.6 Release Notes
#1
Version 3.8.6 was released last week, so I wanted to fully document the changes for it, as well as changes from some of the other updates (which contained mainly bug fixes). One important change with version 3.8.6 is the addition of a new picture taking feature on Android and iPadOS. The feature is unfortunately not currently available on Windows as the library I am using is not available for Windows at this time. Now when pictures are taken in MobileSheets, you can easily account for skewed pages, curvature of the edges, and other image artifacts. The image will be automatically converted depending on the color filter that is selected, but the default is to use black and white with grayscale for anti-aliasing. A single PDF is now generated from all of the images which is much more convenient and adds the ability to use the page order feature. The same library that is providing all of these new features is also going to be used to provide image correction for existing PDFs and image files. This will be added in one of the next updates. 

I also added the ability to extract PDF metadata which makes it easier for users to move their library into MobileSheets from other applications. You can configure the metadata extraction to occur automatically under Settings->Import Settings, or you can do it on a per-file basis in the song editor. Fields such as title, subject (which is mapped to genre), artist and composer should all work well when coming from other products.  The full list of changes can be found below:

Android v3.8.6
  • Added significantly improved picture taking capability that supports image correction
  • Added new feature to extract PDF metadata. This can be turned on under the import settings or manually triggered in the song editor.
  • Added new option to import and export application settings. This can allow settings and custom stamps to be backed up without having to backup the full library.
  • Fixed issue with chord pro autosizing not working properly
  • Fixed issues with loading some chord pro files. Also fixed rendering issue when brackets are hidden and chords are not placed on a separate line.
  • Separate colors can now be assigned for the crescendo and decrescendo tools (other settings are still shared)
  • The initial tap is now only used to display the audio player when it is set to fade out after five seconds with below 50% transparency to prevent accidental taps on buttons
  • Fixed bug where overriding display modes for individual songs stopped book mode from working properly
  • The Go to Start of Song action will now scroll to the start of the first page if needed when using the single page display mode
  • The default MIDI library will now correctly handle paired bluetooth devices
  • Fixed check when exporting to determine if files will be overwritten. The "Use song title for filenames" is properly considered when determining if files will be overwritten.
