New Features Improvements Bug Fixes

New Features

  • Your Project Structure in One Place
    Manage buildings, storeys, and rooms in one tree under Project settings › Locations. At a glance you see where pictures and open topics are and which storey still needs a plan.

  • Bring In a Room List From Excel
    Already have a room list? Copy the rows from Excel and paste them with "Paste a list". The preview shows which rooms are new before anything is created, and only those are added. Type single locations right into the tree, e.g. "GF Ground floor".

  • Tidy Up Without Losing Pictures
    Before you delete a location, you see what it contains. Move its rooms and storeys to another location. Pictures and topics are not deleted.

  • Share Notes as PDF
    Download a note with its pictures as a PDF, to file it or to send it to people who don't use kontekst. Headings, lists, and checklists are kept.

Improvements

  • Fix Misplaced Pictures Right Away
    If a picture is in the wrong room, click its location in the picture details and pick the right one. This works for several pictures at once, too.

  • Every Picture of a Room at a Glance
    Click a picture's location in the pictures view to see all pictures from that room or storey.

  • Plans Down to the Detail
    Large plans zoom in much further in the web app and stay sharp. In Lens, plans zoom up to 30x on iPhone and Android and stay sharp.

  • Topics in Your Language
    Topic statuses, types, and priorities now appear in the language of the app, so a German interface shows "In Arbeit" instead of "In Progress" and "Mangel" instead of "Issue". Labels you renamed stay as you set them.

  • More Readable Buttons
    In light mode, buttons use a slightly darker red, so their text is easier to read.

  • More Stable Lens
    Lens runs more reliably in some edge cases, for example when you upload many photos in a row.

Bugfixes

  • Plans Without a Connection
    Plans you downloaded in Lens now open in a basement or a dead zone too. Documents with the same name from different projects no longer get mixed up. Once after the update: please download documents you had already downloaded again.

  • Pins Stay in the Right Place
    When you change a picture's room in Lens, its pin on the plan moves along. Follow-up pictures land in the same room as the original picture.
