Yesterday I released version 5.7 of iCaching.
Big new feature is the Pocket Query notification. iCaching lets you know when a new pocket query is available for download. And you can download it straight from the notification, without going to the pocket query window.
Furthermore we refreshed several parts of the application with a new icon design.
Several users contacted me reporting not to be able to log in to the Groundspeak API from within iCaching.
I started an investigation, but even an older version of iCaching (that did work for sure previously) cannot log in any more. So it was not a code change on iCachings side that broke the login.
Currently I’m in contact with Groundspeak to solve this problem.
Excuse for the inconvenience.
Update June 17, 2016
The friends at Groundspeak were able to figure out that the issue is related to login and user language. They are working on a fix.
In the meantime there is a workaround: temporarily change your user language in your Geocaching account to English. Then login in iCaching and after that you can change your language back to whatever you want.
This message is a bit late, but in the meantime version 5.5 went live.
This version has a completely revamped logging window, and adds the ability to log trackables along with your cache logs.
When preparing the logs, it keeps track of your inventory. So if, for instance, you log a trackable as ‘Retrieved’ from the first cache log, you can log it as ‘Visited’ in the second log. This was THE most asked feature, so we hope you’ll enjoy it!
Adding and removing images to and from a cache log has been vastly improved too.
Trackable logging
Soon in iCaching: Trackable logging!
We regularly get the question if it is possible to make a filter that excludes owned caches. At first sight this might seem impossible, but it is possible.
In the Filter dialog you can add so called compound filters. You can nest other filters in such a compound filter row.
Et voila, you filtered the caches not owned by you. Of course you can use this construction for other filters you want to invert. There are also compound filters for Any or All of the following.
Today we release iCaching 5.1.2 in the Mac App store.
Especially on Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) there were several flaws that are fixed in this version. Apart from the fixes we also added some nice improvements.
Improved:
– Multiple logs for the same possible in Log Window
– Can load field notes from Looking4Cache
– Last open Geocache is persisted between application runs
– Hint button hidden when no hint available
Fixed:
– Fixed several issues in Mavericks (window layout, enabling menu items)
– Loading user logs only on application start, not every 5 minutes
– Saving GCVote password did not work
– All waypoints had the same icon in the Waypoints tab
– Several other little annoyances and small performance improvements
