You can now copy style from one element of report to another using tool bar button.

Igor have implement ORDER of items feature.

This allows you to have two or more overlapped objects and control their order of draw using commands
* Send To Back
* Send To Front

You can find these commands as buttons in the Toolbar, as menu commands and as keyboard shortcuts.

Igor has improve the appearance of Report Editor’s toolbar. Now it have groups to easy switch between different sets of actions and see buttons only for that actions. This also allows to add into the same space much more toolbar’s buttons.

Added more toolbar buttons and commands to edit layout of a report.

During last month, Igor did an incredible job to speed up Valentina reports in different areas x10, x2, x2 times …

• Now faster PREVIEW of reports in the Report Editor of VStudio Pro
• Now faster drawing of report layouts in the Report Editor
• Now faster generation of PDFs

As result you can show in a report not only picture from DB, but from disk or by any URL.

Igor have made great job improving speed of reports generation on linux, which uses the FreeType library (instead of wxWidgets+OS like on WIN/MAC). As result, time of report of one developer go down from 3 second to 0.3.

Actually FreeType library can be used on MAC and WIN. Just no big sense because it was much slower.

Now we see sense to enable TWO render-engines on MAC/WIN and be able switch them runtime. This will be useful for building of automated test-system for reports.
