FaultKin Mobile

March 13, 2024

V. 3.0.0 -- 12 March 2024 This version of FaultKin Mobile (FKM) has been substantially rewritten and modernized with new functionality and data reliability. Major changes include: • FKM now keeps your data for each project in a separate Sqlite database, an open database format. The first time you run the new app, FKM will automatically import your data into the new format. For the utmost in data security, prior to updating you may want to send your existing data to yourself using the sharing panel in the Data Screen. The next version of FaultKin desktop will be able to import FKM database files. • Your data are now saved automatically (both individual measurements and complete projects). You no longer have to save them manually. In the Datum Details screen, the Save button in the old version has now been replaced by a Revert button. If you make changes to a datum in that screen, those changes will automatically update the database UNLESS you tap the revert button. Projects remain active until you open or create a new project. When you create a new project, you will be given the opportunity to transfer all existing data into the new project. Prior to creating a project, your observations are kept in a Random Obs database. • Your data are now accessible from the Files App on your iPhone or iPad. From there you can easily share the database using iCloud Drive, AirDrop, or other Apple sharing technologies. You can also delete files that you no longer need but, be careful, once they are gone you will not be able to retrieve them again unless you have copied the files to your desktop/laptop. • The interface has been modernized and rearranged to match the interface of Stereonet Mobile with buttons performing the same function now located in the same places. • The export button on the Main Screen (with the stereonet view) will now enable you to share a PDF of the current plot via email, messages, copied to the pasteboard, or shared via AirDrop, etc. • The Map screen now allows you to measure distances or relocate a datum by tapping on the map screen at the appropriate spot. The datum is moved to the spot where you lift your finger from the screen. You can also use the new Lasso tool in the map screen to select data to Show, Hide, Delete, or Export. The Show command will just show the data inside the lasso and will hide all of the others. • When you are entering text in the Datum Details screen, the button in the upper right corner of the screen will change to allow you to use that button to dismiss the keyboard when you tap it. When the keyboard isn't showing, it will revert to the More… button. • Swiping left on a datum in the Data List Screen will now dsplay three buttons allowing you to hide/show, delete, or show on a map that individual datum. • A datum collected with the auto orientation from device orientation feature will automatically have latitude and longitude associated with it, even if you did not explicitly turn on GPS (this is possible because auto orientation requires GPS to be turned on, at least temporarily, in order to use the correct magnetic declination). • New Toolbar icons for buttons match those used in Stereonet Mobile. • The documentation is now local to the device.

v. 2.1.0 10 November 2019 This version brings major compatibility improvements with iOS 13: sharing sheets no longer freeze, minor improvements to maps, formatting improvements, etc. There is no new scientific functionality in this version.

v. 2.0.6 -- fixes a non-critical bug with point symbols that was inadvertently introduced in the last version. v. 2.0.5 -- fixes a crashing bug that was introduced in v. 2.0 Please feel free to submit bug reports via my web page if you experience problems with any of my programs

v. 2.0.5 Fixes a recently introduced but serious crashing bug that happened when a blank recovery file was written under a particular set of circumstances and then the program attempted to read it in on start up. Judging from my crash logs, it appears that a number of you were bitten by this bug -- my apologies. If you ever experience crashing of FaultKin Mobile, please do not hesitate to report it on my support web page. This version has no new functionality but you will definitely want to download this one!

v. 2.0 -- Now with in-app mapping capabilities • Display your fault slip data on a map or satellite image within the program from either the data list view or datum details view. From the data list view, you have the option of showing a separate fault plane solution (FPS) for each measurement or the average for all showing measurements calculated using an unweighted moment tensor sum. The FPS for a single datum or for the average of several measurement also shows the P and T axes. • The RecoveryFile now records all of your changes and any existing recovery file is read in automatically when you launch the program, allowing you to resume wherever you left off even if iOS has purged the program from memory. The format of the Recovery file has changed slightly to accommodate these changes and FaultKin on the desktop will be changed to read in the new format. • Minor bug fixes and improvements.

v. 1.1.0 -- The "finals are over and the semester is almost done, can't wait to go to the field" edition :) • You can now choose the point symbols that you want to use for P- and T-axes. In the Settings View under the Appearance section, tap "Pick P- and T-axis symbols". A new view will appear where you can select the symbol you want for each type of axis. • Minor cosmetic changes to the sizes of some point symbols. • You can now assign a quality letter grade (A-F) for each fault slip datum using the new slider control in the "More Details" View. • The Sharing Panel in the FaultKin stereonet view now actually sends a picture of what's on the screen rather than a blank stereonet as before. • A bug in the "Fault from P & T Axes" calculation that would result in incorrect slip for one of the two nodal planes has been fixed.
