What's new in Litria 1.0.1

Litria 1.0.1 comes a day after 1.0. It adds a zoom slider, a link button and an Install button, and fixes things in the Library, the editor, Export and Delete account.

A zoom slider in the editor

Press the zoom level in the editor and a slider opens. It runs from a quarter of Fit up to 400%, with marks at Fit, 100%, 200% and 400%. Double-click the slider to go back to Fit. Press the level itself to type an exact percent.

In a narrow window the editor used to show only the level, so pinch and Ctrl with the scroll wheel were the only ways past 100%. Now the slider works at any width. Double-clicking the photo still switches between Fit and 100%.

Share a link in one tap

Your portfolio's toolbar and a published album's toolbar have a new link button. On a computer it copies the public link and shows a check. On a phone it opens the share sheet, so you can send the link straight to a chat.

Install Litria

When Chrome or Edge can install Litria as an app, the homepage shows Install Litria, and the sidebar has an install button beside the bell. Once Litria is installed, the buttons go away.

Better previews and search for your pages

A shared album link now names you. Its preview title reads "Album by Your name", and an album with no description gets one like "Beach walk: 24 photos by Your name on Litria." A portfolio with no bio gets a description from your headline.

Album covers on your portfolio now have alt text, "Album by Your name", so a screen reader says what each one is. Litria's sitemap now lists your public albums, and your portfolio once it shows an album, so search engines can find them. Unlisted, private and hidden work stays out of it.

Removing a folder

• Remove folder offers to keep the folder's Added photos again. It never did in 1.0, because it always counted none.
• If the folder has published photos, a card shows them being unpublished, one by one, with Cancel. Cancel keeps the folder. Your other folders keep scanning while it runs.
• A removal that worked no longer reports "Nothing was changed" when a step after it fails.

Export sizes you can trust

The sizes in the Export panel now include your crop, and they show the size this device will write. Before, Full ignored the crop and changed as you zoomed. On a device that can't render a photo at full size, the panel now shows the smaller size before you export, not after. Custom width and height start at the cropped size and keep its shape.

Delete account

Delete account now finishes for an account with lots of published photos. Before, a big account could time out partway, and the page said to check your connection while the deletion carried on.

To confirm, you now press and hold Hold to delete account for 3 seconds, the same hold Remove folder uses. If you can't hold a button, you can type "delete" instead.

Security

We tightened how the server stores sign-ins, how it logs billing errors, and how often one address can send usage notes. This update signs everyone out once, so you'll need to sign in again.

Fixes

• The editor's top bar keeps the photo's date while you switch photos, where it used to go blank until the photo loaded.
• A rating you give in the Library while a photo is opening in the editor now shows when you go back to it.
• Reloading the editor after picking a folder in its sidebar keeps that folder's subfolders in the filmstrip.
• Opening a photo grows it all the way from its tile, even when the photo loads fast.
• A notice that shows while Settings is open sits above Settings, and its button works. Before, it showed dimmed and didn't respond.
• The Library's Filters button no longer slides through a notice as the notice leaves.
• Moving photos in an album on one device no longer brings back a photo you removed on another.
• If publishing an album again is refused, for example because your storage is full, the album keeps the photos it had. Before, it could show a broken image.
• Panels and lists inside dialogs now match the dialog's color.
• The Upgrade to Pro sheet lists Portfolio templates, in the same words as the pricing page.
