Bingo Generator
Print multiple pictosheet pages on 1 sheet
Title and copyright object in picto pages
Changed:
Save ink options now work on whole print page (gray option will make everything, including borders grey)
Bingo Generator
You start with the creation of a pictosheet with all the images /pictos you want to use in a bingo game. (25 animals for example)
Then you start the bingo generator and select this pictosheet and the bingo layout you want to use.
You enter the number of cards you want to generate and how many pictos are reused on the next card (this generates bingo cards which are very similar and that makes the game more exciting)
Then you print the cards and or save them as pages
Each generated card will be unique
Picto titles can be used by setting the pictotitle option in the pictosheet (the same applies to borders etc)
Use "picto title" in sheets and pages instead of "picto name" and "picto description"
Proper use of plural in texts
Improving pictoboard drawing and resizing
Fixed:
Fixed an possible exception when closing Picto-Selector
Copy and move of text pictos containg a = went wrong
Spanish translation was causing exception (in the rotate function)
Inserted pictos from pictolist do now receive the proper border settings
Pictoboard
Pictos can now be clicked and start actions:
Open another pictosheet or pictopage
Play one of the included pictoboard sounds
Play some music defined with MML, visit this page for an explanation
Speak some text, using installed Sapi 5 voice
Also, pictopages can now also be opened in pictoboard and each object can handle those actions (play a sound when clicking a arrow for example)
Sapi 5 voices are not free, I have found some nice voices on https://www.cereproc.com/en
In the Administrator settings > Pictoboard there are 2 options added:
Midi out device: for selecting the midi instrument to use with the MML actions
Sapi 5 voice: for selecting the voice (which also defines the language that can be spoken) to use for the speak actions
2105 icons of icofont, using the categories on http://icofont.com/ (Icons can be used as images in the pictocard layout template or in picto pages)
Tags for pictosheets in the picto list. Use the right mouse button menu to set tags to a pictosheet. This will be used to group the sheets into folders in the pictolist.
Changed:
Icon picker can now handle larger amount of icons
Refresh pictolist is now also working in large network office mode
Tags
When no tag is set, the <no tag> is selected.
When you want to remove all tags, you simple select the <no tag>
When you want to rename a tag for 1 sheet, you unselect the ‘old’ tag and type a new one.
When multiple sheets have the same tag(s) you can do the same as above for al those sheets at once.
I am already working on improving the tags functionality, to make it easier to rename or delete a single tag etc.
Picto.Cloud (beta), store your sheets online and synchronize them on multiple computers. Visit picto.cloud for registration and explanation. (Translation of picto.cloud is work in progress)

Pictosheets Online
Share your pictosheets online and find pictosheets other people have shared.
There are a few important things:
Sharing and removing pictosheets can be done by using the pictosheet list;
You can only remove your own pictosheets;
When you share you should always ask yourself if it is ok that other people can download the pictosheets, it is probably best to avoid personal photo’s;
You should select the language used in the pictosheets while uploading;
Pictosheets are separated by language. Every search works for one language;
How more you describe about the pictosheets the easier people will find it;
Currently you can add 6 tags at maximum to a shared pictosheet;
Users of 1 database are considered as 1 online user, the database identifies the user. In network situations you can assign rights to Picto-Selector users for deleting and sharing pictosheets;
