A feature release: print a whole batch of labels from a spreadsheet, drop in ready-made clip-art
symbols, and a cleaner, more consistent editor.
Highlights
- Data merge / variable data. Print a batch of labels from a CSV — one label per row. Bind any
text, barcode, or QR value to a column with a{"Column name"}or{3}(column-number) token; the
new Data Merge menu loads the file and its Columns list inserts the right token for the field
you're editing. Preview Merge Data steps through the rows on the canvas so you can see the real
labels, and Print Merge prints them — it tells you how many labels the run needs and, on
RFID-tagged rolls, won't start more than the roll holds (it prints what fits and lets you reprint the
rest after a roll change). A progress bar lets you cancel part-way through. - Insertable clip art. A browsable, searchable palette of pictograms on the Insert palette — click
one to drop it on the label. Clip art is vector, so it prints crisp and solid at any size.
Changes
- The toolbar and inspector now use one consistent Material Design icon set throughout — alignment, the
Insert palette, eye/lock, and bold/italic/underline — replacing the older hand-drawn glyphs. The eye
and lock icons change to show the current state. - Auto-size text grows to fit the merged value on each row, so long entries aren't cut off.
- New Data merge chapter in the user manual.
Fixes
- The selection box and alignment now match what's actually drawn: the dashed box follows a rotated
element (the visual-only mismatch noted in 1.0.2 is resolved), hugs serial numbers, dates, and
overflowing text instead of a fixed box, and Align / Distribute line up the visible edges. - Auto-size text now shows resize handles — grab one to switch it to a fixed, word-wrapping box, instead
of hunting for the inspector checkbox.
Known issues
- Beyond the B1, B4, and D11_H, other catalogue models are supported but not yet confirmed on
hardware. - Data merge reads CSV files; live Excel and database sources are planned for a later release.
