A number of improvements were made, as well as a number of fixes and memory optimisations.
The performance of certain operations is improved.
The problem with creating new projects using templates is fixed.
Interface is visually reworked and optimized.
Interface language problems are fixed.
Installer issues are fixed.
(The full list of months of fixes and improvements would have been too long to put here)

Fixes compared to 1.57.2: OE freezing on Alt or F10, OE freezing on editing Code Blocks (in some situations), several minor improvements.

Please make backups of your projects and elements and don't break online websites without possibility to restore their current version.
When installing, make sure to use the option Keep older versions, rather than Delete older versions selected by default.

Thanks in advance for your tests.

Have a nice day
openElement team

P.S. This version may become the new official release unless new critical issues are found - it is thus very important to find them before if they exist...

Hi. Great program and thanks for making this available. Have used the beta version 1 but will update to this one.

Hi. I tried optimising ma images in the maintenance section but received an error "access denied" to the folder and all .upd images are 1 kb

.upd are not images but "flag" files containing just a timestamp, the presence of this file tells that the corresponding project file was UPDated and needs to be uploaded in Differential mode next time.

Did you transfer your project folder from another machine at some point?

Hi. Thanks for clarifying that but I did not transfer from another machine.

You can try to find the "denied" folder, right-click and chech whether Windows marks it as blocked. Also, check that no images in this folder are open in another software (Photoshop etc.). Sometimes, restarting Windows may help; Windows has a nice habit of randomly blocking folders "just like that", causing OE and its users (and us) a certain headache

You were right. Windows had flagged the folder read only. I removed it and all ok now. Merci

The official openElement version (the link "DOWNLOAD" on the top of the forum) is 1.57R3 from now on. We do not "advertise" it as there may still be issues (one is known, happens if you detach the Code Block Editor window and add new Blocks in it - OE freezes; if it happens to you please contact me for a temporary patch).

Weird, I want to try download it too. But in my chrome page it's still ver 1.56 r4.

Please don't pay attention to the version number shownon the page, we wait to update it after all gets stabilized. You will see the real version number during&after install.

Home page says:

1.56 R4 | 45 Mb | XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10

and since the download link downloads openElement.exe, 60.8 Mb
and that installer displays 1.57 R3
...
this is confusing.

BTW: the alternative downloads talk about different editions. Even more confusing.

The alternative downloads are not up to date either.
There are many changes in the new version. Which means that the probability of new bugs is elevated. We've conducted a two-week beta testing on French forum, which helped to fix a lot of issues, but this version may still have some; we need to gather more feedback, fix/improve, then the version will be announced and all infos updated.

Do you confirm that all elements are shown in French in the version 1.57 R3 (see the top of the application window)? Or do you still use 1.56R4?

my bad, i was using 1.56R4.. I have now  upgraded it to 1.57R3, however when i right click on the home page or any page (on the left side) the menu is being displayed in french.

Indeed... Thank you for reporting it, we will fix it for the next version, and meanwhile I will try to generate the OE executable to replace that fixes it (today I hope - I will post the link here). If you find other non-translated interface elements please let us know.
Translation of the menu:
Ouvrir => Open
Sauvegarder => Save
Renommer => Rename
Traduire URL => Translate URL (alternative page names)
Dupliquer => Clone
Convertir en calque => Convert to layer
Echanger avec la page d'accueil => Exchange with homepage
Fermer => Close

Hey all.

OpenElement is great!  

This version says this program is not a valid Win32 Application. (1.57.3)

  • 1st Time Install on XP (ever)
  • Have not tried older versions (yet)

Cheers,

Battleborn

Hi,

As XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, it is possible that the installer and the application, both generated using Microsoft tools, are no longer compatible. Though it may also be machine-specific, and work with other XP versions...

Great news to me to hear new version.
I am happy to test and report it to you, OE team.

Go for it!

DJ
