Bug Fixes

  • Fixed crash during Preview with large or numerous PDF forms.
    The software could crash during Preview when a report contained too many forms (or appended forms) or forms with very large photos, due to the PDF engine running out of memory. The app now handles this gracefully — instead of crashing, you'll see a clear message explaining what happened and Preview will exit cleanly so you can adjust the report.


  • Fixed random crashes that could occur when clicking on a Section Container (Components, Optional, Etc.) This no longer occurs.

  • Paste button now responds correctly when the clipboard changes outside the app.

    Previously, if you copied something in HomeGauge Desktop (text, comments, pictures, etc.) and then copied different data in another app, returning to Desktop and clicking Paste would silently do nothing. The Paste button now correctly reflects clipboard state in the Template → All Comments, Template → All Smart Text, and Paste Itemized Item (inspection item text editor) dialogs.
