116 black and white pictos (these are optional and have to be downloaded and installed seperately. Almost the same can be achived by the grey shades option in Picto-Selector)
Auto export option (see description below)
When you already are using the black and white pictos then you can use this download to add only the new images.
Removed:
The facebook button in the print preview. I removed all links to facebook in this version.
Fixed:
Removing frames in the layout template manager was not working properly and showing errors
Autoexport
This options is used by people who create a schedule for each day at the start of the week. They save those pictosheets to a folder on their network and use those images on a tablet that is located in their living room.
Every day the corresponding images is shown. Saving those pictosheets to a network location was taking some extra time and they asked if it could be automated.
It is hidden by default and can be activated by changing the settings in "Settings" > "Administrator Settings"
Here you can activate the option, select a folder and the extension to which pictosheets should be exported.
Each pictosheet has now a setting ("Settings" > "Pictosheet Settings") where a name can be entered which should be used for the export. And the export can be enabled for this pictosheet.
In the "Tools" menu there is a option to perform the auto export. All pictosheets which have an enabled autoexport are now exported.
713 Arasaac pictos, some of them are added to the 16+ category
714 black and white pictos (these are optional and have to be downloaded and installed seperately. Almost the same can be achived by the grey shades option in Picto-Selector)

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

Use "picto title" in sheets and pages instead of "picto name" and "picto description"

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;
