Question Last Updated on: 3/14/2025

Released: March 14, 2025

Major Updates

  • Significant refinement to printing
    • Add the ability to split a printed chart into multiple pages. Setting determines whether to split or to shrink chart to fit on one page.
    • Include a header with details of contents on every page.
    • Improve overall formatting and appearance.
    • Add ability to print questions asked, in the order they were asked, for each chart.
    • Removed button that would print only the currently displayed chart.
    • Print process creates a PDF that is placed in the PF?s attachments folder.
  • Improvements to user-experience related to enabling RLE and PPG Pulse Amplitude tools
    • Tools can now be enabled on Sensors tab in settings where they should stay as set.
    • Tools (and all other sensors) can (and should) be enabled and positioned by going to Chart tab with no PF open. Changes here impact new PFs going forward but will not stay set retroactively.
    • If tools are enabled, they will appear right away when reviewing a chart.
    • Modified color scheme for the RLE and PPG tools. For a recommended score of ?1, the dot will be red with a red border and red font. For a recommended score of +1, the dot will be green with a green border and green font. For a recommended score of zero, the dot will be white with a blue border in the PPG tool. For the RLE tool, a recommended score of zero will have a white dot with a blue boarder and blue font if the R/C ratio is less than 1.2:1, or gray with a blue border and blue font if the R/C ratio is greater than 1.6:1.
  • Related to Audio/Video settings
    • Added "Very Low" audio quality option. Creates files with sizes of about 0.2 MB / minute. Implemented using ffmpeg to shrink audio files after recording is complete.
    • Show the audio quality options when capture mode is set to Audio for a camera.
    • Resolved some issues with audio quality settings not being handled correctly.

Minor Updates

  • Removed the Pneumo Line Length sensors.
  • Change the "Review Video" function to "Review Media" and allow playback when only audio files are present.
  • Create the file association between .lxw files and LXEdge as part of the installation process. Previously an association was created the first time LXEdge was started.
  • Related to templates
    • In user-defined question set templates, only show "New Folder" dialog when right clicking on a folder
    • Prevent dragging folders in user-defined question set templates
    • Improve handling of attempting to access templates and folders that were deleted using File Explorer
    • Improve handling of some rare scenarios related to template naming and selection
    • Removed the "Clear Search" hotkey
  • Related to PF Tools
    • Change term "zip" to "archive".
  • Changed the algorithm used to create checksums used in detecting changes to attachments and media files. The previous algorithm could be blocked in more secure environments.
  • Reorder actions that happen when pressing the spacebar to mitigate potential delays.

Bug Fixes

  • When attempting to open a chart with audio/video, error message could incorrectly appear indicating the recording could not be used because it had been modified since attaching. Was related to closing a PF without stopping recording.
  • While running or previewing a chart with more than 5 minutes of chart visible, the traces would not reach to the right edge of the chart. This was observed both when using a high resolution 4k monitor and when stretching LXEdge across two monitors.
  • EDA and Cardio details would sometimes be missing in the "Chart Info" associated with a chart.
  • When editing a question set template, changes to Id induced by changing Question Type were not immediately reflected in Sequences.
  • Attempting to add a new question set template folder would fail when LXEdge Directory was set to a location on OneDrive.
  • When opening a PF, the item selected would not always match the item displayed.
  • Bugs related to Spanish version
    • The expand button in the PF template editor was not visible
    • Text in header on settings page was not updated right away
  • Bugs related to Combining charts
    • Crash would occur when attempting to Combine Charts when no charts were present
    • LXEdge would attempt to display video associated with Combined Charts

  • Media playback would sometimes fail to start or stop when expected.
  • Duplicate warning messages would appear when navigating away from a chart with unsaved changes to questions.
  • Related to PF Tools
    • Deleting a PF using PF Tools would occasionally fail if user had previously played media associated with the PF
    • Crashes would sometimes occur when using PF tools to e-mail a PF
  • When editing a Personal History or Series template, clicking on "Close" or "Save" with an empty option present in a dropdown list field would cause the field to be completely deleted.
  • Multiple "_temp" and/or "_moving" files would sometime be present inside a PF and/or its subfolders.
  • On the Audio/Video tab, the Record checkbox would not be visible for microphones with very long names.
  • Crash could occur when quickly navigating away after ending a chart. Resolved by preventing navigation until chart was finalized.
