Hey Tagtoolers,
Tagtool 1.5 is out on the App Store, for both Tagtool and Tagtool SE.
Many of you have already been using it for weeks — this release is what we tested together through the betas, with a final round of fixes on top. Thanks to everyone who reported issues, sent decks, and joined test sessions.
The headlines, for anyone who skipped the betas:
- **Online multiplayer is out of beta** — dedicated Online Session menu, public and private sessions, region selection, and much faster, more reliable scene sync. Up to twelve players.
- **Performance** — faster startup, big decks load in a fraction of the time, 120 fps on ProMotion iPads, lower memory use.
- **Redesigned menus** — reworked Network, Canvas, and Output menus, new canvas presets including vertical, Pencil Mode with palm rejection, language and left-handed switch in the footer.
- **Recording** — ProRes, Animation, and HAP codecs on Mac and PC, transparent video without installing codecs.
- **Privacy** — all user tracking removed, anonymous default nicknames.
The full details are in the [b50 announcement](https://www.tagtool.org/t/final-beta-before-release-tagtool-1-5-0-b50/2950).
Update via the App Store as usual. Mac and Windows builds can be downloaded [here](https://downloads.tagtool.org/releases/Tagtool-Beta_v1.5.1-b1/?sort=time&order=desc).
Now that online multiplayer is officially out in the world: grab some friends, have a session. We’d love to hear how it goes!
Happy Tagtooling,
The OMAi crew

**Hotfix 1.5.2 is now live.** It fixes an issue where **Tagtool Pro was not recognized after updating** from older versions for some people. If you were affected: update, then tap **Restore Purchase** once — Pro (and everything that comes with it) will be back and stay unlocked.
The **Mac and PC versions** have been updated to 1.5.2 as well — get them at [omai.at/tagtool](https://www.omai.at/tagtool), or directly: [Tagtool 1.5.2 for macOS](https://downloads.tagtool.org/releases/Tagtool-Beta_v1.5.2-b1/Tagtool-Beta_v1.5.2-b1-macOS.zip) · [Tagtool 1.5.2 for Windows](https://downloads.tagtool.org/releases/Tagtool-Beta_v1.5.2-b1/Tagtool-Beta_v1.5.2-b1-Windows.zip)
Thanks to everyone who reported the issue so quickly!

unfortunately, TT automatically
updated to 1.5.2.b1, and several of my decks and individual animations are no longer available. I just see white squares where the animations used to be in the affected decks. This just happened, and I was going to go out and animate this evening! Anyone live now that can advise me? Thanks!

@OffLeashArea Sorry to hear that. Are all deck folder corrupt or just some?
Did that also happen with the Testflight Version before?
To investigate further we would need to have a look at the corrupted items. Can you compress the decks folder and send it to us?

Hi - no need to apologize, you guys do so much work for the community ☺🙏🏻❤. Happily, the decks I was issuing for my performance were ok. It’s some entire folders, some just various animations within folders. I was moving things back and forth from desktop external storage drive to a new iPad Air when this occurred. Also, a reminder that I use almost exclusively png files. Normally I don’t download the most recent versions of any software when I have a gig coming up, but must have missed toggling off automatic updates on TT. I will send affected decks later today.

How can I share the zipped Deck to you privately? I currently have it in my Google Drive, (also, I downloaded the Test Flight, but never used it)

Thank you for the deck folders.
Looks like the corrupted decks are missing some files.
“data.dat”- “commands.dat” and “preview.png” are the 3 things needed to work properly. Some folders are missing 1 or 2 files.
White deck items are missing the “preview.png” - but they can be loaded in the workspace and saved again. If command or data is missing it is not possible to reload.
Have a look - maybe you have those missing folders as a backup somewhere.
best,
mat

Hello! Thanks for the detailed response. I went through and was able to salvage many of the animations. However, when I looked in the Tagtool folder in my Files App, I saw many command.dat and preview files unassigned to any deck - and they were all the affected animations! Not sure how this happened, however I was having trouble airdropping a large number of decks at once, so maybe that’s where things “went wrong”. I have all my decks on an external drive, so I will go through them all and make sure I simply delete the duplicate decks with missing files.
I noticed another thing, which was several folders within a deck titled “blob”…! What’s that? I’ve never seen that before ☺
