Reworked Menu Structure

Today's update of the Linelo Android App (version 12 for those who care) is mostly cosmetic. The top menu system was getting a bit cluttered so we have updated so that it now looks like this:


The main change you will notice is that the formatting functions are up all the time now -- previously they were only available when the format menu was being shown. We've moved the Cloud function into a place of  prominence and pushed the help button down to the bottom of the submenu.

The other major change here is the ability to "Refresh" LineloNet files. (Goto Files/Refresh). Under normal circumstances (as explained in the previous post) your device will store a local copy of any LineloNet files and use that instead of repeatedly going to back to the cloud to get the same content. This new change feature allows you to force the app to download a new version of the  file so you can stay up to date.

Particularly for the home "Cloud" file, it is probably a good idea to do this regularly. One of our highest priority features is to check this for you, so you know whether you need to refresh the document or if the document is already up to date. But  for now, checking once a day or so (depending on the file) is probably sufficient.
