- Description: Mainly minor fixes. The biggest update is for macOS which now has a fix on the calculated dimensional string which led to PNG resizing. On both versions there's several small changes like putting SVG before PNG when editing templates and adding the ability to add a template directly to a category.

*Just released version 1.0.6 for distribution on both iOS and macOS!*

Recently it came to my attention that the image dimensions were off in the macOS app. I realized that the image itself was uploaded fine but the `NSImage` used when calculating the current dimensions were wrong. I fixed it to show the proper image size by switching to using `CIImage` instead. This turned out great as, through this, I realized I could add `PNG` image resizing to the macOS app! This `PNG` image resizing will work in portrait or landscape mode while essentially squishing (not cropping) the image to fit the target device size.

That said, you will want the image to be in portrait mode before uploading to your reMarkable for it to fit.

It's also been brought to my attention that someone was using the category display to edit the templates under that category. Although clickable and possible I hadn't fully realized it would be used in that way so the list wasn't refreshing when a template was deleted. Although the template name and information is still not currently refreshing when edited the list now reflects any deletions and, by request, there's a button to add a new template to this currently selected category now! This is now available in both macOS and iOS. 

![Image shows the close together templates options in the center and the newly added "Add template" button on the right.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/2024/12/compressed_2024-12-13-at-17.20.36.png)

While working on this update I've also made the icons in the center pane closer together for ease of scrolling and also moved the `SVG` image editor to be ahead of the `PNG` one when editing templates to match the layout in the template display. The template display itself was updated last time as the reMarkable seems to now work with only `SVG` images though the reMarkable still shows the `PNG` image when the `SVG` image can't be found. 

[Update: Which Version of the reMarkable’s Templates Are Emailed Out?Back during the summer of 2022 I tested which image type was used when you export or view a reMarkable notebook page. Recently, I redid the experiment and found the results had changed. Here they are!![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/icon/Favicon_Transparent_60-18.png)Simply KyraKyra![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/thumbnail/compressed_Copy-of-Which-Version-of-the-reMarkable-s-Templates-Are-Emailed-Out----Graph-1.png)](https://www.simplykyra.com/blog/update-which-version-of-the-remarkables-templates-are-emailed-out/)

If you want more information about the SVG being defaulted to over the PNG you can check this test that matches the current results when run again with 3.16.
