Dev Diary 95 - What's new in Elements 1.1.2?

Hello again,

Later today we’ll be launching version 1.1.2 of Elements, and while the version number change is small, there’s a surprising number of BIG enhancements packed into this build.

This new build contains a lot of improvements for those of you that love using Remote Resources (aka Wharehousing in old classic speak). We’ve also made some insane improvements to saving speeds. For example; saving a project with over 7000 images used to take around 35 seconds, saving the same file in 1.1.2 is down to less than 1 second :exploding_head:

Watch the entire video to see all the great new features before the new build drops later today!

The Dev Diary 95 now in my country language by AI? Crazy good!

Oh, that must be a new “auto AI” YouTube feature, we certainly didn’t do anything different :exploding_head:

Edit: Found it…

Very cool!

Thank you for the icon tweaks, my eyes are already a lot happier.

QUESTION: are there any plans to add support to the remote resources for pointing at a folder on the server as opposed to having to load all of the URLs? Seems like an obvious option and would save a huge amount of pain if you had a lot of remote resources. I had abandoned using remote resources previously simply because it was to painful to add them all individually. This is better now but still not optimal, really needs support for adding a URL to a folder and then parsing that to find all of the remote resources in the folder.

Keep getting “Update Error” when attempting update. MacOS 15.6 and Mini M4

Ensure Elements is in your Applications Folder. If you’re still having issues you can always download the latest version from here.

Yes, you’d think this would be simple to add, but unfortunately, it’s not a trivial thing to implement. Having said that we have future plans to offer a built-in CDN that would enable us to do this and so much more.

Anyway, that’s for the future… but rest assured further improvements to remote resources are on our radar :slight_smile:

@dan I understand the priorities, I just feel the pain!

Can no longer publish!

Ventura 13.7.8 Mini M2 8GB

My time machine back up of 1.1.1 said it was corrupt, but I got 1.0.13 to work.

FYI the main site says Ventura should work and it has been for a while. The “System Requirements” page https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/elements-app/download-and-installation#system-requirements

Gets a not found :expressionless:

I hope the new improvements didn’t make it not work on my system.

I have tried reinstall and another project file and nothing. It just spins. It is also not chewing resources. I have forgotten my sysadmin days to I would truss the process and see where it is stuck.
