Version 3.2 on iPad2 - text is really bad, almost unusable

[dsorlien]

I am very disappointed with version 3.2.

I am using an iPad2, and the look of Lemur's fonts and knobs on the iPad2 is unacceptable. Please fix this so templates run on an iPad2 will look as good as they did when running Lemur 3.1.

I do not understand why this would be released with such a major problem. Is there any way to uninstall 3.2 and go back to 3.1 on my iPad?

Hi,

We had to redo the font system to support Retina. It does look different than the legacy Lemur and previous versions, but it should look sharp. Have you tried different font sizes? Please drop a line at support (at) liine (dot) net

Cheers,
Nick

readability is more important than sharpness. A little smoothing or blurring can even enhance readability. On non-retina iPads the readability is strongly reduced if the text size is not over 16pt. For example the "2" where you can't see the diagonal line, only the top bow and the bottom line. Or the "K". The word CLICK appears now as CLICI. It's disturbing. And indeed the knob objects look bad too.

I guess it won't be possible to rollback to 3.1, but I wish I didn't update to 3.2. I don't like to see my beautiful templates look bad suddenly, and less usable because text and numbers are not as readable as before. I will need to correct texts and value monitors in all of my templates. Not very amused by this idea.

I wouldn't mind if a template looks a bit strange in the editor, but on the iPad display, it is a bit problematic, I mean seriously problematic. What can we do now? Make two Lemur versions, one for retina and one for without retina? That's not good. Anyway, I would like to offer my help as beta-tester (I have two iPads version 2) so that such problems can be avoided in future.

Nick, thanks for the reply.

Here is an example of what 3.2 did to my huge template, on an iPad2.

Lemur 3.1, two days ago:

Agree with Phil,

Please guys, is there not any fix for iPad1/2 users?

I mean, is great to have retina support for iPad 3 users, but would be also great compability with previous ipad models.

It would have a HUGE amount of time for people share many templates to update them, I simply have not time for that job, and don't like the idea changing font sizes either.

if you guys could find a solution, would be very appreciated.

Thank you,
AB

Im use ipad 1 and I wanna relood lemur 3.1 my all template s very bllury i dont like this update!

[whatisvalis]

It's very poor, on iPad 1 here. Hopefully I can use a the last back-up in iTunes to restore 3.1.

This was bound to happen sooner or later with the advancements in the iPad and the one app store.

Uh-Oh....
Haven't been around awhile and first thing should not be to complain but I've got to agree with all the other unusable text posts. It's great that you fixed the text for Retina but conversely now the text for Pads/Switches which was unchangeable before now has the added disadvantage of being REALLY unreadable!
And of course there is still the zero issue where a value that starts off negative or zero doesn't display, font sizes in Pads/Switches, etc. etc.....

How about fixing what's wrong and not creating new issues. The reason I haven't been on is the amount of work I've been able to get done with my template and now I'm thrown back into AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa............. land.

thx,

joeb
