• 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.

• Pictosheets are separated by language. Every search works for one language;
• How more you describe about the pictosheets the easier people will find it;
