Improved Worksheet Marketplace
The worksheet marketplace user interface has been improved, making it easier for you to find suitable worksheets:
- The dialog now supports a global search, allowing you to search for worksheets across categories
- The sorting options have been improved and extended
- You can now report a worksheet if you think it has illegal or non proper content. A report link is shown next to each worksheet preview images.
Improvements for Uploading Worksheets to the Market Place
We applied a few improvements to the worksheet upload process, to make it easier for you.
When selecting a category, Worksheet Crafter now opens a dialog in which you can choose the category from a category tree. The worksheet names of each category are immediately visible, so that you can directly spot whether your worksheet would fit in there.
Additionally, if you try uploading a worksheet with an unknown image then Worksheet Crafter now warns use. It will show you which images are potentially problematic, so that you can fix them.
File Preview on Mac
On Mac you will now see previews images of your worksheets directly in the Finder application:
Period and Colons in Math Grid item
In the math grid item you can now add periods and colons to the characters as well.
Colored Watch Hands
The clock item now allows you to colorize the two watch hands. You can choose the colors on your own:
Configurable Background Color for the Handwriting Line Main Row
When enabling main row highlighting for a handwriting line you can now specify the color it shall use for the highlighting:
Configurable Color for Ten-/Twenty/Hundred Frame item
If the standard blue-red or grayscale colors are not suitable for you, then these items now allow you to set custom colors for the dots:
Printing a Range of Pages only
You can now choose to print specific pages only when printing your document. Previously you could only choose between all pages and the current (single) page.
More Space for the Clipart Browser
The clipart browser now provides a button in its upper right corner. Pressing this button maximizes it to the full sidebar height, minimizing the other sidebar elements. This way you can temporarily get significantly more space for the clipart preview.
Worksheets Consuming less Space
We optimized the file format of our worksheet files. Documents with many images will now take up significantly less space on disk.
More then 60 further improvements
We applied more than 60 further improvements and bug fixes to Worksheet Crafter, to make it even more easier for you to use.

This version 2018.2 of Worksheet Crafter still supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mac OS 10.7 and Mac OS 10.8. However, in upcoming versions of Worksheet Crafter these operating systems will not be officially supported anymore. The minimum requirements will then be Windows 7 and Mac OS 10.9.
