Version 1.0.202

Latest

Spanish throughout, and prints that keep their borders

  • The whole app now speaks Spanish — every operator screen and every guest screen, from pre-flight and the node palette to the booth, the gallery and the assistant.
  • On first run the booth follows your computer's language instead of always starting in English. Picking a language in Settings still overrides it for good.
  • New Fit mode on the print node — "Fit whole image" keeps bordered and framed designs intact instead of cropping their edges away, with a margin control and a nudge for printers that feed slightly off centre.
  • Overlay frames can now be scaled and positioned, so a frame that bled past the printable area can be pulled back inside the paper.
  • New Base Image Scale and Background Colour on the overlay node — make the photo sit smaller inside the frame and choose what shows around it.
  • Add your own logo to the live caricature drawing performance — pick its size and which corner it sits in.
  • New waiting screen while a photo is uploading to the gallery, and on the Public Upload QR step — show a message, a still image or a looping video instead of leaving guests on a blank screen.
  • Photos that failed to upload while the booth was offline are no longer lost — they are queued and sent as soon as the connection returns, and guests are no longer handed a QR code that scans to nothing.
  • Fixed a blank white screen at the start of the drawing performance — the drawing now begins straight away, and when there is no line work to ink the time goes into the colouring instead.
  • The finished caricature now stays on screen for the hold time you set, instead of cutting to a white mural view.
  • Looping videos on Raspberry Pi booths no longer freeze on their last frame.
  • Fixed the Apple Silicon Mac app shipping Intel-only helper tools, which silently broke caricature line work, video steps and remote tunnels on clean Macs.

Version 1.0.198

Editor for iPad & the live print queue

  • New Editor (Basic) — your whole booth flow as a numbered list of steps, built for editing on an iPad: large rows, large controls, tap a step to change it. The node canvas is untouched and one tap away as Editor (Pro).
  • New live print & plot queue in booth view — see what is printing or plotting right now, on which machine, and what is next in line, with a thumbnail per job. Switch it on in Settings → Booth.
  • New Print Quality setting on the print node — draft, normal or photo quality, read straight from your printer's own driver. Existing flows print exactly as before.
  • New Fill Solid Regions option for plotting — solid areas such as filled eyes are hatched in instead of disappearing from the drawing.
  • The assistant now shows example prompts above the chat box — tap one to send it.
  • Plotter settings that only apply to outline mode are hidden while centerline mode is on, so every slider you see does something.
  • Caricature presets now open with English booth screens by default; per-guest phone language is still available.
  • Screen rotation now works on the Raspberry Pi desktop instead of failing with an error.
  • In-app Update Now now works on Raspberry Pi installs, and no longer reports a false failure while the booth reboots.
  • Fixed a hotspot leftover that could leave a booth "connected but with no internet" until it was rebooted.
  • Dropbox connecting works again, and the booth now shows which Dropbox account it uploads to.

Version 1.0.192

The living caricature mural

  • New Living Caricature Mural — every guest caricature is drawn straight into its own cell of a giant wall that fills up over the course of your event.
  • The attract screen shows the mural building live, with a scan-to-join code and clear instructions so guests know how to take part.
  • Guests can add a handwritten message and signature from their phone, shown right next to their caricature on the wall.
  • Messages and names are checked automatically before they reach the wall, so nothing unwanted ever goes public.
  • Guestbook fields are translated into 25 languages.
  • Print the finished mural as a branded poster, with a choice of grid layouts and A-series paper sizes.
  • New operator Mural panel — reset the wall, clear a single cell, or swap in a replacement photo mid-event.
  • More reliable face detection on phone uploads, plus a safety check so failed or unsuitable photos never reach the wall.
  • Printer and paper-size selection in preflight are now instant, and the booth warns you when AI credits are running low.
  • Fixed stretched prints on paper sizes other than 4x6.

Version 1.0.184

Local gallery, instant sharing & plotter precision

  • New local gallery mode — every photo from your event is saved on the booth and browsable on the spot.
  • Guests can take their photos home instantly by scanning a QR code, straight from the gallery.

  • Replot any photo from the local gallery in a couple of taps.

  • Fixed a first-launch hang on machines connected to DSLR cameras.
