What changed in 1.10.0

Added

  • Custom Designer: choose which worksheet (tab) to print from a multi-sheet Excel file.
    When you bind an .xlsx that has more than one tab, a picker now asks which worksheet to
    use as the print data instead of silently taking the first one. To switch tabs later,
    right-click the data-file name (the button in the database bar) and choose Redefine
    tab…
    — it reopens the same picker with the current tab shown. The chosen tab is saved
    with the document, so reopening and "Refresh from source" re-read the same worksheet.
    Single-sheet workbooks and CSV files are unaffected (no picker).
  • Starter templates are offered when you first launch the suite. The sample label
    templates now ship inside the app and appear on the first-launch setup screen (alongside
    the supply groups), where you choose which to install into your Templates folder.

Changed

  • The installer no longer copies starter templates. They're built into the app and
    offered on first launch instead, so a fresh install always has them available without the
    installer carrying a separate templates step.

Fixed

  • The database grid keeps its position when you work in it. Clicking a cell to edit,
    toggling a print checkbox, renaming a column header, or searching no longer moves the
    grid's scroll position — in both regular and free-edit modes.
  • The database header row stays visible while you scroll. The column header row is now
    pinned to the top of the grid instead of scrolling out of view.
  • Wrapped text now stays inside its text box. With "Wrap text" on, lines that didn't
    fit used to spill past the bottom of the box on the design canvas; they're now clipped to
    the box, matching what prints. (The print preview already behaved this way; the design
    canvas and the printed output now agree.)
  • Brother P-touch import: text comes in at the size P-touch shows, not larger. P-touch
    shrinks text to fit a fixed frame, and the importer was reading the pre-shrink base size,
    so imported text landed oversized. It now reads the fitted size and turns on auto-scale
    for frames that shrink to fit, so imported labels match the original.

Open alpha: the Brady M611 is hardware-validated; the Brady M610 cut behavior and the Brother P-touch drivers are not yet hardware-confirmed. User Guide · FAQ
