Tinn 0.7.2 is about getting the numbers right. Every calculation in the app was gone through by hand and against a real spreadsheet, and the wrong ones are fixed. You can now also see exactly what Tinn adds to a quantity, and change it.
Good to know before you update: some totals in existing projects will go up, because they were too low. If a product has a need in m² or metres but no pack size, it now prices from the need, not from one unit. Wallpaper now counts strips from the wall, so it can need more rolls. One notice tells you when you open a project, and approved prices stay as approved, so you can see what moved. Projects opened in Tinn 0.7.2 can still be opened by older versions, but read-only.
Nothing hidden in the numbers
- A line under every price says what was added, for example “40 m² + 10 % waste = 44 m², 31 box”. It prints too.
- Waste, trim and the small-opening limit are yours to change on each product. If you want 25 % waste, set 25 %.
- A new Calculations tab in Settings holds your defaults, such as waste per category. The product beats the project, and the project beats Settings. Changing a default never moves a number you already have.
Fixed
- Rounding now matches Excel. Some lines used to end up 1 øre low, and an exact fit could buy one box too many.
- Products without a room can be priced, and moving a product to another room keeps its chosen option.
- A need in pieces sold in boxes is priced by the box: 100 pieces in boxes of 20 is 5 boxes.
- Changing the unit in Measure in rows converts the number instead of relabelling it.
- Totals update straight away when you change VAT or markup on a line.
- A number Tinn refuses now says why, instead of disappearing.
- The count of products is the same on Home, in Budget and on the Spec sheet.
- Matrix keeps the number and the room subtotal whole, on a selected row and in a narrow window.
A calmer Properties panel, and one dropdown
- A new dropdown across the app, with a fine line and soft corners in place of the old Windows lists.
- The unit list follows the project. A metric project shows metric units, and Show all units or the search finds the rest.
- Number and unit sit in one field, and width and height share one unit. Your stored sizes do not change.
- Lighter options: the grey tray and the small capitals are gone, and the rows are easier to read.
Send feedback
- Send feedback is always there, at the foot of the tool column and on the start screen.
- Point at the thing you mean: click any element in the app and it goes with your note.
- With your name, or anonymous. It is your choice, and the form lists what is sent.
