Exploring the Redesigned Power Apps Gallery Control 

That is just special, you go to show people how to do things and wait this isn't what I wanted to talk about. Thanks for the heads-up

As someone who runs workshops on about a dozen M365 Apps, I know that "oh, this is new..." experience all too well.

I like that the rectangle to show the current selected item is there by default. I always wondered why you had to setup a colour change yourself to keep track of what was selected.🤓

Wow, Microsoft really knows how to keep my love / hate relationship with PowerApps strong.🙄. Thanks for sharing Shane!

Thanks Shane. I would have lost my mind if I discovered this myself.

Hi Shane, i just discovered a new control called "Host" below the App starter. I used it in a label & gave me my OS , my navigator & my session ID.

Thanks for this video Shane! I will be on a lookout for it so I don't get tons of emails from my users :D

Can you please explain the new loading spinners a little bit more? What makes them different from the old gallery?

I love how they just spring this stuff on us. They also allowed us to revert to the old toolbar a while ago and BAM, it's gone.

That separator bar was killing me!

Its a great review for a great progress. I love the Gallery.AllItemsCount function without asking the database. Thx u Shane one more time !

Thank you Shane. This look is better for me

I often find myself getting impsoter syndrome when building Power Apps... then I added one of these new galleries a couple of days ago, and saw the If statement on the side rectangle and the hard-coded Y property on the seperator and breathed a sigh of relief. If MS are making these simple mistakes, then I can't be that bad!!

Many thanks - I wasn't aware of this!

Thanks Shane !

Thank you for the heads up

How do I enable the Image upload optimization for Desktop usage of the app? (Referencing the "Optimize images for upload" option in PowerApps mobile)

Thanks for the video warning....I would suspect that almost no one uses one of the default layouts except to get started. So from that perspective, if they choose a different one it has always blown away their previous work. I am not clear what is new here that we can see. I get some defaults are different but were there improvements in fetching or performance. I also find it silly that Microsoft keeps making these changes yet never publishes any information about them. BTW, there are tons of bugs I'd like to see fixed yet silly stuff like this seems to be their focus.

I am having similar issues from the update that took place with the gallery. Except mine seems to be with the scalling of the app when used on a phone. The text becomes way too small to read.

Thanks Shane for this. I run in a issue yesterday and wondering if that has something to do with the new galleries too. I use galleries in a form (yes sorry i use forms) to display multi select choice fields from a sharepoint list as checkboxes. If a checkbox is ticked/unticket (oncheck/onuncheck) it updates a collection and this collection is used to update the field. Worked line a charm but now suddenly it does not updates the collections anymore. Odd is that the same gallery outside of the form works. Support is looking into it. 🤯

Shane, Please do a video on a approval app from a blank vertical gallery. I would like to see how to assign ownership based on condition like email address and data validation in the drop down column to not allow blank entries. The drop down column will be the column to indicate if approved or not. The data will be comimg from excel.

Do I understand correctly that the loading spinner is a new property of the gallery? Interested in what we can do with that.

As a matter of fact, I've verified with Microsoft support that multiple reports are saying that galleries are not even loading or being hidden on some screens. We are forced to use an earlier Power Apps release 3.23053.41

It's great that the platform is improving, but I do think it's pretty darn awful that we don't get any fore-warning of changes! I think the worst recent change has been to the Split function - all of a sudden it returns a table of "Values" instead of "Results". Lost quite a few hours changing a LOT of formulas thanks to that unannounced chestnut! We'd never get away with doing this to our clients with the Apps we make for them - they'd go mental, and rightly so, as it could literally cost them loads of money! All delivery frameworks (including Microsofts) advocate robust change and version control, including good Release Notes. Have you ever read their release notes? They are terrible - always incomplete, and usually just flat out wrong, if they bother to tell you anything at all... I guess it's a case of "Do what we say, not what we do"...

Hi Shane , I discovered today when I want to modify my power apps, my old gallery's started misbehaving, I am unable to use the remove function in my collections but I can add😢.

Do you have a video where you filter a combo box on active and inactive status on a dataverse table? maybe sharepoint has active and inactive but i dont know...

Hi Shane, i have query with regard to PowerApps with Azure SQL as data source, I'm not able to save my PowerApps - it says it's not complaint with your organisation DLP policy - not sure how to handle this, any help will be appreciated. Looking forward your your insights on this matter

I had a gallery with text and dropdown controls displaying default values referenced from a collection. After the latest changes, my text boxes stopped displaying the values!!! Dropdowns are still fine though.

Can you pls help me. I’m writing the code in OnSelect property of a Save Button. Trying to patch the info. It’s a display gallery and the data type for the text fields is a mix of alphabets and numbers. Patch(‘Equipment Not Functional’, Defaults(‘Equipment Not Functional’), {Title: txtTitle.Text, ‘Department/Location’: txtdept.Text, Area: txtlocation.Text, Reason: txtreason.text, ‘Action Plan till it is Functional’: txttargetdate.text}); I have been getting errors, “The function patch has some invalid arguments” “the type of argument does not match the expected type ‘text’”, although some fields are just alphabetical even then the error is same…

did you have any sort of color theme set?

Thanks. Microsoft really should not automatically change this for apps already in productive use. Manual update yes.

I had galleries inside a form leveraging a collection. The on select of the form stopped working after a publish with no changes. I had to demo to a client and the gallery just stopped working a hour before. Previous version restores did not do the trick. Rebuilding now and I'm going to walk away from forms now

The bar at the bottom is blue for me, might be tied to the template

Great …..more MS Power platform surprises ….

First..again!

Just want to say that the fact that it is written as IF(blah blah, true, false) shows that powerapps is really built for dummies like me 🤣

I hope someone gets fired for making this half-assed change to a major component.

Hahaha anothrr change of the UI

Arrgh

Have they added some sort of TemplateHoverFill or something to make it more visually obvious when you're hovering over a specific gallery item? I hate the push and pop effects; they aren't elegant or helpful for most people
