Thanks for choosing the Fiber Optic Color Code app! This update includes a couple of user requests to the straight fiber sheath count search screen.
First is X=Y:
The x=y update allows a user to set a custom straight sheath count if they might only know only one of the fibers identity. So say you know fiber 36 is identified as 55.
Above the Custom Start Fiber is a X=Y option. Clicking the option will open up 2 inputs. The first input is the X input where you enter the physical Fiber #. In the above scenario you enter the 35. The second input is the Y input. Here you'll enter the ID of 55.
Doing the above enters a starting fiber of 20 into the app.
2nd part update "Update Ranges (##-##)":
When entering a custom start fiber this option updates the the numbers inside the parentheses ( ) to reflect the custom fibers id'd within for quick glancing.
You the user will need to enable the "Update Ranges (##-##)" option from within the app settings located in the More tab on the bottom navigation bar
3rd part of update "Reverse" lookup:
When a custom start fiber is entered there is now a option to search by physical sheath count. So entering a custom start fiber of 20 and reverse searching for physical sheath fiber of 2 results in displaying the second fiber in the sheath id'd as 21.
Thanks again!

Removed the recently added send count as text button due to text messaging length limitations and other considerations. The app will still be able to receive counts through the fiber://icc?count= url scheme from other sources like email, web text link and other possible paperless sources including my soon to be released cable count splicing app. Thanks for your patience.
URL scheme Examples:
Without a count:
fiber://
With single line of count:
fiber://icc?count=12WX,1-288
With multi-lines of count:
fiber://icc?count=12WX,1-288%0A3LX,145-408%0AD,553-576
multi-line separator = %0A (percent symbol, zero, capital "A")

Thanks for choosing my Fiber Optic CC app! This update includes a new "Big" fiber search option and an even faster cable count entry enhancement.
New "Big" search feature option:
When searching for a fiber, the app user can now select the "Big" search option to have only their located fiber's color code and numeric location values shown.
'Speed Counts' cable entry enhancement:
While entering a cable count, the Cable ID autocomplete text bar now also looks into the 3 saved cable count positions for possible matching Cable ID's.

~Say it
Improved the cable count lingo while the app is speaking.
Having cable count read back is an easy way of verifying your count has been entered correctly. Simply press the "Say it" button to listen along to your entered count while looking at a print / computer to verify they match.
Thanks again!

Thanks for choosing my Fiber Optic Color Code app! This update includes a new feature and app behavior adjustments for the best user experience yet.
~Speed Counts
For app users that work with cable counts there is now a faster manual cable count entry option. While working on the bottom line of count (last line of cable count) there is now a Cable ID autocomplete bar which displays up to 5 similarly started Cable ID's of the current cable count you are working with. Selecting a cable id auto completes the last line of count with the selected cable id and separator. Speed Counts are also implemented when searching for a cable strand too.
Let others know what you think of the app by rating or leaving a review. Thanks again!

New app features include:
• A new maximum cable size of 6,912F
• Added a 48F Loosetube option
Customizable Cable builder:
• The 5 customizable cable builder positions now have editable fiber quantity’s also.
• New customizable cable maximum qty's (not to exceed 6912F):
~ 24 super tubes
~ 144 ribbons
~ 48 fibers
• New app settings:
~ "Pin color code to cable type" When enabled allows the app to remember the last used color code on a cable type.
~ "12ct Series & Block" This option will in all "Ribbon" cable types display a "Series:Ribbon Position in series" as for example "3:11" over a solid color block that some cable manufacturers may print on their ribbons. (Color code needs to be 12 unique solid tube colors of any combination)
~ "S12 Matix" For app users of Nordic countries that use a matrix color code system for identifying 4 or 8ct ribbons in a slotted/spår type cable.
~ The "Pin the color code" option needs to be enabled for the last two options to be available.
Cable Count Input:
• The input now has an active fiber counter that displays the fiber quantity entered over the selected cable types maximum qty as "####/####"
• For possible cable count trouble shooting I've doubled the chosen cable types maximum for enabling the "Parse Cable" button. So that if the entered cable count has exceeded the chosen cable types maximum you are now choose the parse cable button to see the count broke down and possibly identify the issue with the cable count.
Color Codes
• Added editable Super Tube colors.
• Added S12 to color code list along with an un-even S12 Matrix 480F ribbon color code. (existing users will need to reinstall app to see these color codes)
• Added a tan color and a 6th level loosetube color options
• 5th and 6th levels now display a easily distinguishable and countable dot • for a "5" ("•"=5 and "•|"=6)

Added minor feature:
User can now click a fiber and pointers will be placed at the tube, ribbon and strand locations. The app title bar will also show the fibers layer drill down with an index pointer to show that it was user click initiated.
If a user searched for a fiber by using the 'Find a Fiber' button, the searched for fibers index pointers are locked so that it is not accidentally changed by an unwanted click. To use the user click feature the 'Find a Fibers' displayed fibers layer will have to be closed and reopened.

~updated store images
~Added 'Smart Save' to use up to 3 cable counts.
From Input Cable Count screen.
1) Configure the sub-unit type (12F, 6F, RILT.... etc)
2) Enter cable count
3) Select a cable position
4) Click Color Code button
The app will then store the cable count and sub-unit type and take the user to the expanding Color Code screen.
To delete a cable count simply select a position and long click the clear button.
Smart Save radio buttons color key:
green = vacant
black = count previously saved and ready for use
red = count to be overwritten with new count (will display an old cable count confirmation below Parse Cable button)
blue = count successfully saved (upon direct return to input screen)
~Distinguishable cable count positions
When a cable count has been entered and a position has been selected the input box's border will turn blue for cable1 position, orange for cable2 position and green for cable3 position. Then after clicking the Color Code button the Search Button Icon and related cable counts text box border will turn to the selected cable positions distinguishable color being used also.
blue = cable1
orange = cable2
green = cable3
gray = not saved to a position
~Added Custom Start Fiber for simple cable search without cable counts.
Upon entering a custom start fiber the input and Search Button Icon will turn red for a start fiber # greater than 1. Then the user will be able to search for their fiber by entering a fiber greater or equal to the start fiber and less than or equal to the calculated end fiber that is shown as a hint in the search for fiber text box.
red = custom start fiber entered greater than 1
gray = start fiber is #1
