It contains the usual bug fixes and these changes in the app behavior:

  1. It now not possible to have activities without a date assigned in a lane with a date either assigned or calculated.
  2. When a new activity is created (either via the menu or drag-and-drop) and its assigned activity group is not visible, it will not show in the lane where it is dropped. This makes activities visibility always consistent with their activity group’s (in)visibility.

Version 1.1 out! :) /index.php/2025/02/10/version-1-1-out/ /index.php/2025/02/10/version-1-1-out/#respond Mon, 10 Feb 2025 17:24:42 +0000 /?p=283 A new version of PotisPlanner has been released.

In addition to a few bug fixes, this version adds the ability to save the board’s history.

This feature is off by default and can be turned on in the preferences window:

Undo history save preferences

There are three options that can be used here:

  • Full
  • Audit
  • None

When ‘Audit’ is selected, only a trimmed down version of the application history is saved. This information will be used in the upcoming activity audit module, but it does not allow to save undo information.

The ‘History length’ number is used to determine the maximum number of states the application is able to recall for undo operations (regardless of whether the history is saved or not).

This feature is available only in the Windows version of the application.
