12 September - Resize text annotations

This article is from before the rebranding to SelfGuide. Text and images can include the old product name ProductivityPerformer or its abbreviation PP.

A small release containing a useful feature to optimize the readability of an AWI, and a few bug fixes. Detailed information can be found below.

Resize text annotations

The feature to add a text annotation on a step image was added a few months ago. It gives the ability to add descriptive text that grabs more attention than the step description below the step title. We improved the text annotation feature by adding the option to resize the annotation box. New and existing annotation can be resized by selecting the element and changing the width using the handles on the left and right. When the width of an annotation is fixed, only the height of the annotation will change when the text does not fit.

Signed installer

Creating a recording for an AWI is done using the ProductivityPerformer recorder, an application installed on the system. To improve security we signed the installer, executable and binaries so it is a trusted application. The previous shown security warning, with the question to explicitly trust the unknown publisher, won't show up anymore.

Bug fixes

  • A space was not allowed when entering a custom tag or application
  • Microsoft Forms was misspelled as an application
  • The width of the user settings lane was incorrect in some cases
