OmniOutliner 4.1.1 corrects a couple technical issues for the Mac App Store.
NEW:
- Row linking — Row links created in OmniOutliner 4 for Mac will function for jumping to other sections of the document.
UPDATED:
- Word Export — A number of updates and fixes have been made to the Microsoft Word DOCX export:
- The Outline view is now the default instead of Print Layout.
- Row numbering support has significantly improved. Under most circumstances it should match the numbering you see in OmniOutliner. If row numbering is used, rows will be indented to keep the numbering readable. Note– MS Word only supports up to nine outline levels, so, for level 10 and deeper, any row numbering will be inserted at the beginning of the line as normal text and may not correctly align with the other outline levels.
- The outline column will always be the exported column instead of the left-most column.
- Fixed a bug with exporting font colors of certain values.
- Multiple identical URLs in a document should now export properly.
- Fixed a bug with preserving some linked attachments.
FIXED:
- Styles — The New rows use peers’ style setting should now always behave predictably when on. Named styles will no longer carry over to the sibling when it is unchecked.
- Styles — Fixed a bug with text not appearing at the correct size after pasting.
OmniOutliner 4.1 adds intra-document row links, new toolbar icons, improved Microsoft Word export, as well as a number of other updates and bug fixes.
NEW:
- Styles — The Row padding control has been added to the standard feature set.
- Toolbar icons — New toolbar icons with color have been added! Switch to Graphite appearance in System Preferences to use monochrome versions of those icons.
- Row linking — (PRO) Create links to rows to quickly navigate or reference other sections. To make a link, select a row and use Edit > Copy As Link. Paste this where ever you’d like to make a hyperlink to that row. The focused state will also be preserved in the link. Links will function in OmniOutliner standard if they exist but the Copy as Link option is a Pro feature.
- Word Export — (PRO) A second MS Word (docx) export has been added, Microsoft Word (indented). This will always preserve the outline structure by setting the indentation on each line.
UPDATED:
- Word Export — (PRO) A number of updates and fixes have been made to the Microsoft Word (outline) and Microsoft Word (indented) exports:
- Microsoft Word (outline) has the same basic functionality as the previous MS Word export but will now open in Outline view by default.
- Row numbering support has significantly improved. Under most circumstances it should match the numbering you see in OmniOutliner. If row numbering is used, the Microsoft Word (outline) format will indent your text to keep the numbering readable. Note– MS Word only supports up to nine outline levels, so, for level 10 and deeper, any row numbering will be inserted at the beginning of the line as normal text and may not correctly align with the other outline levels.
- The outline column will always be the exported column instead of the left-most column.
- Fixed a bug with exporting font colors of certain values.
- Multiple identical URLs in a document should now export properly.
- Fixed a bug with preserving some linked attachments.
- Interface — The method for checking if you have Pro features available has changed. Simply choose OmniOutliner > About OmniOutliner for details on the current version and licensing state of the app.
- Menus — The contextual menu will no longer show options that are disabled.
- Attachments — Improved support for linked attachments. There are still a couple bugs remaining but new linked attachments should work under most circumstances. Previous existing attachments, including those from OmniOutliner 3 will bring up a file browser to the directory containing that file asking you to select the file so permissions to access that file can be saved.
FIXED:
- Exports — Fixed a crash with HTML, HTML (Dynamic), and MS Word (HTML) exports that would occur when a named style inherits from another named style of the same name.
- Export — The writeFormattedNumbers key for export plug-ins is working again. This was causing HTML and HTML (Dynamic) to export unformatted numbers, sometimes showing much more decimal precision than expected.
- Styles — The When adding a row, use siblings’ style setting should now always behave predictably when on. Named styles will no longer carry over to the sibling when it is unchecked.
- Stability — Rows should no longer remain selected when moved into a collapsed section. This prevents a crash that would occur when trying to modify that hidden row.
OmniOutliner 2.1 adds TextExpander support, localizations, better paste options, and numerous bug fixes.
NEW:
- TextExpander support — For all your text expanding needs! If you have TextExpander installed on your device, open Settings from the gear menu in the document browser to update your snippets.
- Localizations — OmniOutliner 2 is now localized for German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Russian, and Simplified Chinese. The interface has also been localized for Japanese, but with the Japanese version of OmniOutliner Help to be added in a later update. The localized Help has not yet been updated for all changes in this release.
- Paste Plain — A second paste option has been added to the contextual menu called, Paste Plain. This is the same as Paste and Match Style on OS X and will remove any styles contained in the text being pasted.
- Inspectors — A Clear Styles button has been added to the bottom of the style inspector. This removes any named styles or ad-hoc styles applied specifically to the row or the text within it. The Clear Custom Style button still remains in the Customize Style pane, and only clears the ad-hoc styles of the current selection.
- Settings — A switch has been added in Settings to display the keyboard shortcuts for named styles in the inspector.
- Settings — Help The Omni Group decide what hardware and iOS versions to support by sending us information about your device. This is totally anonymous and optional, but we appreciate it. You can turn it on in Settings, and see a list of exactly what information will be sent.
UPDATED:
- Keyboard shortcuts — The keyboard shortcut for Group is now Command-Option-G, and Ungroup is Command-Option-U. This brings consistency with some other Omni and Apple apps.
- Toolbar — Slightly increased the delay before showing the flyout menus on the note and new row buttons.
- Settings — The setting Paste from other apps preserves styles has been changed to Command-V pastes as plain text. This switch now only affects the behavior of the keyboard shortcut for pasting, and not the Paste command in the contextual menu.
FIXED:
- Stability — Fixed a crash that could happen when switching between a pop-up column and a number column with summaries on.
- Templates — Removed the gutter colors from the Class Notes template as those are not visible in the iPad app.
- Keyboard shortcuts — Control-9 and Control-0 will now toggle the 9th and 10th named style respectively.
- Exports — Fixed a crash with the HTML exporter when a named style inherited another named style of the same name.
OmniOutliner 4.0.6 fixes a crash that could occur while merging a parent and child row.
