PowerMockup 4.1.0 Released

With this update, PowerMockup is now fully compatible with the preview version of Office 2016. The installer automatically detects PowerPoint 2016 and PowerMockup’s look and feel adapts to the color themes introduced in Office 2016. If you notice any incompatibilities we missed, please let us know.

PowerMockup and PowerPoint 2016

When updating the user interface for Office 2016, we took the opportunity to optimize PowerMockup for screens with high resolutions and large font settings. If you are running Windows with font size set to Medium (125%) or larger, you should notice the difference.

Another important change is that PowerMockup no longer stores any files in the user’s Documents folder. Especially in corporate environments, the Documents folder is often redirected to a network location, which can lead to significant performance issues when updating PowerMockup’s shape library. Shape files and settings are now stored in the user’s AppData\Roaming folder (%AppData%). Cache and log files are written to AppData\Local (%LocalAppData%). When starting PowerMockup 4.1.0 for the first time, your files will automatically be moved to the new locations.

Last but not least, here’s the full list of changes:

  • Added support for PowerPoint 2016 Preview.
  • Added functionality for overwriting existing categories when downloading shapes from the server.
  • Improved display on high-DPI screens.
  • Improved SmartResize feature to not overwrite PowerPoint’s “Undo” history, but allow changes to be undone.
  • Moved application files from “Documents” to “AppData\Roaming” and “AppData\Local” folders.
  • Fixed another problem with Unicode and single quote (') characters in category and shape names.
  • Fixed occasional crashes when opening “Download Shapes” dialog.
