Performance improvements
This release improves the performance of the storyboard editor when working with large storyboards having hundreds of screens.

These improvements should solve those too.

Hello everyone!
Today’s release improves command line support, updates to Eclipse 4.16 platform, and includes a few other improvements and bug-fixes. Read on for more details.
Improved command line
This version improves command line support in the standalone version. Command line support allows to automate the export of screen and story files to different formats.
Now on Windows there is a dedicated executable named WireframeSketcherc.exe (note the “c” character at the end of the file name) which allows WireframeSketcher to be launched from the command prompt and observe the console output. This was already possible on other platforms (using WireframeSketcher executable), but now proper command line support is also available on Windows.
Launching the following command to export a single screen file to PDF:
WireframeSketcherc.exe -application com.wireframesketcher.ui.screenExport ^
-data %USERPROFILE%\WireframeSketcher ^
-noSplash ^
-source %USERPROFILE%\WireframeSketcher\wireframing-tutorial\Mockup.screen ^
-dest %USERPROFILE%\export ^
-format PDFwill export the file and produce the following output:
Exporting 1 file to PDF
Exporting /wireframing-tutorial/Mockup.screen to C:\Users\MyUser\export\Mockup.pdfNote that if you use WireframeSketcher plugin for Eclipse then you can always run the same command using eclipsec.exe executable (or eclipse on other platforms).

Hello everyone!
Today’s release adds support for auto-save, updates to Eclipse 4.15 platform, and includes a few other improvements and bug-fixes. Read on for more details.
Auto-save
A frequently requested functionality for WireframeSketcher is automatic save of modified files. Auto-save helps to prevent situations where unsaved changes to your files are lost because of a computer crash.
The new version of WireframeSketcher enables auto-save by default. You can enable/disable auto-save in WireframeSketcher’s preferences:
This option is only available in the standalone version of WireframeSketcher. If you are using the Eclipse plug-in then you can enable the same functionality using Window > Preferences > General > Editors > Autosave preference page.
Note that the auto-save is only triggered after some period of inactivity, meaning that there is no keyboard or mouse activity for some predefined time. This means that if you need for some changes to be reflected immediately in a linked file then you’ll still need to save your changes manually.
Eclipse 4.15 support
The newest release of Eclipse 4.15, also known as Eclipse 2020-03, was just released. We’ve updated the standalone version of WireframeSketcher to this more recent platform so that you can benefit from various improvements and bug-fixes. The plug-in version of WireframeSketcher now is also compatible with Eclipse 2020-03.
Other changes
- Updated Font Awesome icons to version 5.13.0. This version includes new medical icons useful in current situation with COVID-19.
