version 4.0.497 https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/so...egacy-software
Thanks Doreen, got back home today so will download tomorrow but probably no time to play until the washing and ironing is done !!
I downloaded it yesterday but haven't been brave enough yet to install it!
So far so good Sandi haven't found any bugs yet although I haven't cut with it yet
Two more updates since 4.0.497 Doreen. 4.0.505 then 4.0.511.
I have downloaded it and see one improvement, the flyout boxes on the left hand side work now without opening another panel. I am waiting to see if they will let us save as SVG which is what I would like.
Version 4.0.513 is now showing on SA website but it doesn't seem to be as big as previous versions so I wont be downloading it and have sent them a message
I've just checked and downloaded but not run it because I got the message (Silhouette-Studio_v4.0.513 is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer) what does that mean!!. I will delete it until the next one.
This is SA reply. I've replied to them saying there's an error message when trying to install the update.
Hello,
Thank you for your alerted concern. Please note that the V4 Open Beta version you are running is a Beta version and is not supported.
We are happy to receive bug reports or comments to help improve the program. You may submit any such feedback at https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/beta-feedback.
If you are having concerns of a terminal nature (software is crashing and cannot run properly) and are unable to sucessfully use the V4 Beta version, we would invite you to provide feedback at the link above, and then proceed to uninstall the current V4 version and return to the latest release version found at https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/software#update.
We look forward to continuing to further improve the new V4 software as we work toward a final release version. We appreciate your patience in the meantime.
Thank you,
Silhouette Support Team
UPDATE I've just downloaded it again and it's installed fine so I'm not sure what happened with last nights download
I downloaded it again this morning, there was no error message so I installed it and everything seems to be running well.
Thanks Doreen for reporting errors where would we be without you.
I know this is probably not the correct place to post this but I have forgotten how to start a new one..
I have asked the software developers to consider an option in version 4 for the slider bar to be placed on the left hand side of the working area. This is to help left handers who are using touch screens or graphics stylus see what they are diong.At present if you are a South paw when you use the sliderbar the hand with the stylus obscures the screen which is both time wasting and iritating .
I probably have not explained this very clearly but if you use for example a Surface pro with a stylus try using your left hand to scroll down the work mat .Then the problem becomes clear.
My reason for this post is to ask other lefthanders to use the bug report system to reinforce the reality of the problem and make the same request for the inclusion of the option in prefrences of slider bar on left or rightof the work mat.It does not require a lot of difficult programming .
Always worth asking Helena. How to start a new post see my screenshotAttachment 193749
There is another update Doreen 4.0.516. I deleted it because I got the same error message as before.
Downloaded it a second time and got no error message so I will install it and see what happens.
Installed it and so far so good. Don't see any reason for the error message.
Thank you Doreen .I had just returned from a weekend away for a 90th birthday party and the following day a 50th party and was extremely tired hence I could not see what was right in front of me.My excuse for being stupid.
And another update although it seems to be a smaller size. I'm downloading it so I'll see if it installs ok. It's v 4.0521 https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/so...egacy-software
EDITED to say they must have been in the process of uploading it because it's the right size now and installed fine
I think I'll leave it until tomorrow Doreen. Just had this email from them though - think I will accept if just to give more feedback !!
Shirley,
New Silhouette Beta Facebook Group
I would like to personally invite you to join our new Silhouette Beta Facebook group.
You have been selected because of your excellent Silhouette software knowledge and helpful Beta input!
In this group, we’ll be updating you with all of the latest software and features and asking for your feedback.
Great to know that someone we know will have a major input into future updates. A real feather in your cap Shirley. Congratulations!
Another update - V4.0.523 - 20 Mar 2017
'V4 Open Beta
Auto Updating feature - newer versions will now have the option to silently download in the background when found. Users will be prompted automatically when new updates are found and ready for installation.
Additional data logging added to capture the most commonly encountered crashes
Also includes all initial and previous V4 Beta features
With all the problems that each update seems to bring the very last thing I will want is an auto update facility...I want control over when I choose to update so I can make a judgement as to wether the new version is stable enough before updating.
The thing about updates is someone has to download it to decide if it's worth it or if it has bug's that need to be reported and if no one wants to do that we'll never know if it's ok. I know it says it's auto update but software is set to never check so hopefully that's what it will do or rather not do.
Version 4.0.535 available now
The updates are pretty frequent now so its worth checking daily. Just keep reporting any bugs you find :-)
I really don't like the 125 pt increments on the line thickness and offset options. Makes it very difficult to fine tune your design. I also dislike the fact you can't edit your design once you are in the "send" window. You can make/release compound path etc in version 3 but not in V4 cutting options section. I note that the perforations option has gone too.
ignore this, I can't find how to delete this post.
I guess you've discovered the score lines and the fact you can type in your outset number :)
yes I have but its much easier to use the up and down arrows. than to continually type in numbers each time you need to adjust the gap. The line tpe also becomes the perforated cut line but can be confusing.
The update is now up to 537 btw :-)
It does take a bit of getting used to doesn't it? Thanks for the heads up about the new update
Yes they've made those changes in version 537. They've also added make and release compound path in the "send" window..... thank goodness. :D
Auto updated this morning to V4.0.547
I am really enjoying version 4 :-)
