Version 7.17.1

• File Formats — When changing file format types, a copy of the original is placed in the Trash as a recovery backup.
• Data Corruption — Finder Tags are retained when upgrading the file format.
• Lines — Fixed a bug with midpoints sometimes being added between the wrong two points on the line.
• Variables — Variables in a table, subgraph, or group on a Shared Layer show correct values on each page when printed.
• SVG Import — Improved SVG import for a number of situations.
• SVG Export — Improved conformance to the SVG DTD.
• Image Masks — Image position does not change when resizing the mask for rotating shapes and certain PDFs.
• AppleScript — New documents created with AppleScript are in the latest file format.
• Resources — The File > New Resource options create documents in the latest format.
• Groups — Fixed a bug with resizing groups that contains lines.
• Groups — Fixed a bug with connected lines not rotating along with the rest of the group correctly.

Version 7.17

• Personal Subscriptions — OmniGraffle now has support for (optional) subscriptions! Subscriptions give you the latest version of the app, enabling every feature on every platform (including Pro features)—with a lower cost up front and predictable spending in the future. (If you prefer the traditional licensing model, that option also remains available: traditional licenses are investments which cost more up front, but save money in the long run.)
• Unified Trials — We’re unifying our trials to use a single, simple approach: you sign up for a trial, it lasts for two weeks, and then it ends without charging you.
• Images — Fixed a bug that caused the rendering of some images on the canvas to fail when the document is opened.
• SVG Import — Fixed multiple SVG importing bugs.
• Stability — Fixed a crash that could occur when undoing the deletion of objects with Auto layout active.
• Stability — Fixed a crash that would most commonly occur when duplicating a file.

Version 7.16

OmniGraffle 7.16 improves reliability when OmniGraffle documents are synced with third party providers. This release introduces a new file type that avoids compatibility issues with certain sync platforms, such as Dropbox, while maintaining great performance.

• File Formats — A new default single file format has been added. This is a zipped version of the pre-existing file package format which has significant performance advantages over the old single file format that encoded images as XML data. This combines most of the benefits of the pre-existing formats in a way that is compatible with file syncing services like Dropbox. Versions prior to OmniGraffle for Mac 7.16 and OmniGraffle for iOS 3.14 will not be able to read this format.

  • Existing documents saved in legacy formats will have the option to upgrade or continue saving in the legacy format.
  • Legacy documents will prompt once per session to upgrade after the first edit.
  • Documents can be switched to the package format in situations where it is preferred. This can be done via File > Change File Type.
  • The Document > Format inspector has been removed.
  • Legacy formats are available under the OmniGraffle export format options.
  • All new documents will be created in the new format regardless of what the template uses.
• Saving — The UI is unblocked sooner after a save is initiated to reduce interruptions to your work. Saving will continue in the background.
• UI — The Style Well previews for tools have a background and border to provide visual consistency regardless of the light or dark theme appearance.
• UI — The Line Tool style preview shows a curved line instead of straight when set to the Curved line type.
• Exporting — New documents will have the OmniGraffle document format option selected by default instead of the stencil format.
• Exporting — All layers are exported when using Flexible Canvas Mode with objects positioned outside the canvas bounds.
• Stencils — Fixed a bug that could cause stencils which used legacy line routing to trigger a repeating error about autosave failing.
• Line Routing — Fixed a bug with lines on shared layers that could cause lines to save with the wrong line routing. Affected files will not fix themselves automatically; modifying a line point will correct the issue and the line will save correctly going forward.
• Text Positioning — Toggling the Wrap to Shape option can be undone.
• Lines — When changing the text of an object set to Fit shape to text, any connected lines will automatically adjust.
• Undo — Undo correctly positions objects that have been repositioned using the Geometry inspector.
• SVG Import — Fixed a bug importing lines that have zero dimension.
• Visio Import (PRO) — Fixed a bug causing the prompt about the paper size being too small for the margins to trigger more often than it should.
• Visio Import (PRO) — Fixed a couple importing bugs that prevented some files from importing.
• Shared Layers (PRO) — Objects on shared layers respect custom origins so they accurately report their location and adjust correctly to changes in position.
• Keychain Access — If you have signed into an Omni Account in a different Omni app, you will no longer be prompted to unlock the keychain entry for “Omni Account”.
