We released an update last night with some improvements and bug fixes.
Improved Tripit Import
- Our Tripit import process now extracts much more data from your itineraries and orders correctly by date and time. We’re also pulling items without location data so you can add locations during the import process.
- We’re also pulling the title of your trip and giving you the option to set visibility before creating your trip. These changes apply not just to Tripit, but also Foursquare, Twitter and Gowalla based trips.
- Finally, we used to open the trip editor at the end of the import process, but we’re now just loading the trip page. We think it’s a better experience this way. Just click [Open Editor] to add/delete places, change the soundtrack etc.
- NOTE: Our Tripit import process ignores map and directions objects since these items don’t fit into the Tripline structure.
- NOTE: If you had been seeing an “Error creating trip” message for imports of more than 25 items, that problem is also fixed.
Bug Fixes
- We fixed a problem with our thumbnail generator that was causing thumbnails to break for trips with between 18 and 25 points. If you currently have a broken thumbnail, open your trip in the editor and save it. The thumbnail should re-generate correctly.
- We added some more stringent data checks in the [Save Trip] function to completely prevent trips from breaking due to invisible & special characters in text fields.
- We updated the trip player to resize correctly when posted to Facebook. Due to Facebook’s caching mechanisms, it may take a bit of time for this change to propagate.
