FRep Unexportable Image DetectedOn Android 4~, Export DB warns when large size images > 1.5MB exist in the records to be exported.  (Continue will continue exporting.)  There may exist 2 types of problem;
Add Minified Preview Image(s): Solveable on the spot, tapping it will generate minified, exportable images.

Switch for Popup UI. If ON, single tapping at the listed item will open context popup menu for it. If OFF, buttons in the list will open display settings / play settings / preview respectively. This switch is applied to Edit Sequence, too.

– Use Popup Dialog (default: OFF)
Switch for Popup list type. If ON, menu or list shown by tapping will open with dialog type instead of anchored popup type. This switch is applied to Edit Sequence, too.

– Use Short Items (default: OFF)
Switch for smaller list items. If ON, the listed items will be drawn shorter. This switch is applied to Edit Sequence, too.

– Skip Confirmation (default: OFF)
If ON, deletion of items in the list will be reflected directly. If OFF, Delete Confirmation panel will be appeared for each deletion. In either case, actual deletion of data will be accomplished when the data saved by Save menu or app change. The switch is applied to Edit Sequence, too.

Tips/Notes

– If the record stops unexpectedly, check Replay Settings, which may cause the sensitivity for App change / Orientation change.

– To concatenate 2 records, check them and push [+] Create Seq., then choose first record for replay.

– To edit touch traces (tap location, stroke location, wait between operation), check the item and push [+] Create Seq., then tap the icon in Edit Sequence screen for the trace to open Edit Traces dialog.

– Editing records in Proc tab will reflect the changes in the records which use the records as procedure call.
