Hey Weavers,

We’ve got another great release for you today, it contains a whole host of component fixes as well as a tonne of CMS fixes and improvements :tada:

Wat’s New in 2.4.4?

  • CMS: You can now upload multiple files at once in editor resources.
  • CMS: You can now duplicate files directly from the content folder listing.
  • CMS: The Date column no longer wraps in the content file list, improving readability.
  • CMS: Date and Modified column formats are now consistent in file lists.
  • Image alt text now automatically uses the resource’s Alt value, and the separate Alt field and its deprecation notice have been removed.
  • Image Component lightbox now correctly resolves the image source when clicked.
  • Renamed the built-in “CSS Classes” field label to “Classes”.

I have not updated yet but spent the afternoon re-doing my old classic site in readiness for publishing it on Elements Hosting and I’m blown away at the simplicity of what you can achieve with little input. Obviously I now need to add content to the framework but it’s going to be e a lot easier for me. Sadly you just two days late on multiple imports but singularly worked too!.

Keep up the great work!

I’m getting a lot of crashes with this version when trying to preview. It seems to be having problems connecting to the local server.

I can’t see any crash reports in our system from you. If it happens again, can you submit the report so we can dig into it?

5

Yes, for some reason when it happens, a crash report is not generated. I did a restart and also updated to OS 26.5.1 today, and so far it is behaving as expected.

BTW: I also still get crashes from time to time. I reported this a few weeks ago already: when I use the preview in the Vivaldi browser and then close one of the preview windows while publishing, Elements completely closes afterwards — either after saving or after publishing — without giving me a crash report.

Because of that, I switched the preview browser in Elements to Safari, and until today I hadn’t had any more crashes. But now I’m seeing the same issue there as well.

What kind of report can I send you so that you can take a closer look at this problem?

Hmmm, does elements not prompt you to submit the crash report? :thinking:

We’ll look into this tomorrow (Tuesday).
