Changelog
0.1.5
Known issues
- When creating a brand new project, Fantasia Archive sometimes doesn't load the default categories in the left hierarchical tree. A temporary workaround before the issue is fixed is restarting the program - the project stays intact, can be normally edited and no data loss occurs.
- Some users report that dialog (popups) don't function the very first time you start FA. This is solved by restarting the application. The bug doesn't seem to appear again once FA has been started at least once before.
- Overusing Tags currently causes app crashes on some PCs. If you suffer from this issue, reduce the number of tags in your project below 10.
Bugfixes
- Fixed a typo in the Type of being field in the Species/Races/Flora/Faunas document type
- Fixed even more random typos I don't even recall T_T
- Fixed a bug in light mode that was coloring the List field type's addition attributes dropdown wrong
- Fixed a bug that was causing the relationship dropdowns sometimes not to be clickable and instead caused dragging of the app window when shown over the top of the drag-bar at the top of the app
- Updated advanced search guide with missing information about full-text search
- Changes a small bug when the New Object dialog wasn't respecting option changes being done in the same session of the program being opened
- Fixed a bug that was sometimes showing improper values inside the user-defined keybinds both in the key settings and the cheatsheet
- Fixed tag groups in the hierarchical tree not respecting custom order and alphabetical order
- Fixed a rather peculiar recurring bug that could cause the database to endlessly attempt to update a document while constantly throwing errors
- Fixed a bug that was causing an "Empty" checkbox popping up at irrelevant places on right-click
- Managed to fix or at least mitigate multiple memory leaks across the app
- Optimized multiple parts of the code to run smoother
- Fixed wrong icons in some fields in some document types
- Fixed a bug that was allowing for an attempted deletion of a document while the document data was still being retrieved. This resulted in an error that both made a mess of a UI and didn't delete the desired document
- Fixed a bug in the scroll of the hierarchical tree that was causing it to not display the last 1-2 items when scrolling down
- Fixed a bug that was causing the hierarchical tree-resizing drag-bar to not scroll down with the rest of the page when viewing documents
- Fixed a typo in delete document confirmation dialog
- Fixed a few typos in Character document type
