iCaching 5.0.6

While waiting for the approval of iCaching 5.0.5 with bug fixes for the export bug and crash on sorting on coordinate, we fixed a lot of other issues. Because it will take a little while before those fixes can be in the App Store because of the (way too long) approval period Apple takes, I […]

iCaching 5.0.5

Last Thursday we released the long awaited version 5.0 and received a lot of enthousiast reactions. Although we tested a lot and had a beta period, there appeared to be a few issues with this version. Fortunately the database conversion issue we reported here before seems to be contained to just a few cases. We […]

The most important one: in addition to the existing cmd-backspace keystroke (like in Finder), you can delete a cache from the list with just delete or backspace alone. So when Apple […]

How about that version 5.0 you’re talking about?

That’s a good question. Let me explain. The major features I planned for version 5.0 were a Yosemite look and feel, a geocache images tab and a location picker (to choose a location for corrected coordinates, API searches and home locations. See screenshot). To implement these features I had to make major refactorings in the existing […]

Export blues

While working on version 5.0 (which unfortunately takes more time than expected), I still want to do some maintenance on version 4.x. Once in a while I also like to add a few features in that version too. Recently some users asked if it were possible to add attribute names to the cache description when […]

Tips and tricks: The Map window

The Map window has some nice (hidden) features. So it is worth a separate post. What to show By default the map shows the caches in the active folder. So the caches on the map are the same as the caches listed in the cache list of the main window. When you click on a […]
