Since the last post all the base functionality is in place and I started testing and tweaking the app.

Some of the improvements I made:

• Storing thumbnails alongside the original image to reduce the load when previewing a Manual

• Made it possible to attach multiple images to a Manual. This was quite a big change.

At the end I published the app to the store.

This was a easy and fast process. One thing I as struggeling with was getting the tile and store image in place.

But since my struggels the Dev center has been updated and it is a bit more clear now.

All in all it was fun to build an app.
