inBlindSight v.1.1.0 - Major GUI Redesign and Improved Functionality

Version: 1.1.0
Release Date: 2024/06/03
System Requirements: Windows
Instructions for macOS

New Features:

• GUI Redesign: Enjoy a more user-friendly interface. Appreciate it, or my headaches meant nothing!
• Reset Button: Say goodbye to the hassle of reopening inBlindSight just to reset inputs.
• Sheetname: Don't remember the order in which you created your Excel sheets? Neither do I! Now you can specify a sheet by its name.
• New Labels: Now you can also choose from a zoo of 928 animals and 201 countries from our pale blue dot.
• CSV: Excel too easy? IDs, labels, and keys can now be imported from CSV files. And don't worry, the comma-separated values don't need to be separated by commas. inBlindSight sniffs out the delimiter.
• Overwriting Keys: Prone to losing keys? Fear no more as key file names now come with date and time. So you don't overwrite your keys into oblivion. Next time you lose your key, just search in the recycling bin.
• Clone Dupes: Duplicates are checked within the keys. Just don't mess with the keys an nothing will go blind forever.
• Code Refactoring: But who cares?!

In Loving Memory of the following Bugs:

• Nothing and null values could be taken as an ID or a label, creating broken keys.
• Broken keys with an equivalent number of losses in IDs and labels would still be imported.
• Adding the extension to the end of the file name even if it already has it.
