Version 5.1 - Monday, July 31 2017

OmniOutliner 5.1 adds localizations for 10 languages and fixes numerous bugs related to filters, pasting, and more.

• Localizations — OmniOutliner now supports Deutsch, Español, Français, 日本語, Nederlands, Italiano, Русский, 简体中文, Português do Brasil, 한국어.
• File Formats — The process of converting an oo3 file to ooutline has changed. The oo3 file will automatically be moved to the Trash and can be recovered from there.
• Templates — All templates offered in Essentials have been updated to include defined values for Heading 4-6. Previously they were undefined and inherited default values.
• Filters — Values of summary cells are visible to filters which fixes such issues as some checked rows appearing when filtering for unchecked.
• Inspectors — The Column Inspector will always remain visible when trying to edit its values.
• Sidebar — The Sections list will always reflect changes made to the outline.
• Attachments — Edits made to embedded attachments in flat files will be saved.
• Essentials — Save is disabled when viewing a Pro document in Essentials.
• Paste — Using Paste with Original Styles with content copied from Nisus Writer will paste as RTF.
• Paste — Using Paste with content copied from LibreOffice 5 will result in text instead of an image.
• Paste — Copying and pasting text to a new row when the source text had a level style set will not apply the Whole Document style value to it.
• Paste — Pasting into a row in Essentials won’t add extra style attributes.
• Columns — The Return key ends editing when changing a column title.
• Printing — The Column Titles style is retained in the print output.
• Notes — When viewing notes in-pane, text-wrapping will take visible scrollbars into account.
• Status — Setting the Status of a parent row to None is retained.
• Status — Copying and pasting rows between OmniOutliner documents will retain the Status value even if hidden.
• Performance — Greatly improved the performance of the HTML exporters which are also used for Quick Look.
• Keyboard — Esc will exit full screen mode under Mac OS X El Capitan when it doesn’t trigger editing or auto-completion.

Version 5.0.4 - Monday, May 15, 2017

• General — The Paste command functions in the save panel and document name popover. This also allows TextExpander to work in these cases.
• Exports — Exporting password protected documents to non-OmniOutliner file formats will correctly leave the output unencrypted.
• Copy/Paste — Moving rows between an .oo3 file and an .ooutline file that has the note icon column in different positions will correctly map column values.
• Outline View — Using the Show All Notes command when notes are collapsed in hidden rows will properly toggle the notes and update the command to change to Hide All Notes.
• Outline View — When the Scale to fit page width print option is off, page break indicators will appear when resizing a column by dragging on the column edge.
• Paste — Using the Paste command when content is copied from Nisus Writer will correctly paste without styles.
• Paste — Using the Paste command when content is copied from Google Chrome’s address bar will correctly paste without styles.
• Inspectors — The Long format label in the Column Type inspector for Duration columns has the correct background color.
• Sidebar — The checkboxes for Named Styles in the Styles sidebar no longer flicker when moving between rows with the arrow keys.
• General — Removed the locking ability of tabs in the sidebar and inspectors as they don’t serve any purpose in v5.
• Style View — The Style View row highlighting will clear when clicking in empty space above or below the outline.
• Document Stats — Note content will be counted in the Document Stats even when the column displaying the note icons is hidden.
• Columns — All documents in Essentials mode will use an autosizing outline column regardless of how the setting is configured.
• Exports — Fixed exporting to docx format when non-image attachments are embedded in the file. These files are not supported by the format and will be represented by the name of the attachment.
• Exports — Fixed exporting to the xlsx format when cells contain nothing but a link.

Version 5.0.3 - Monday, May 1, 2017

OmniOutliner 5.0.3 is a minor update focused on fixing issues with Launch Services and the .ooutline format, and improving the experience of working with autosizing outlines.

• General — OmniOutliner 5 should always be recognized by Launch Services as the default for .ooutline files regardless of what other apps are installed. If you’re still having trouble associating .ooutline files with OmniOutliner 5, please contact support with Help > Contact Omni.
• Styles — Fixed cases where moving between rows with the arrow keys would not reset the style attributes to the default for the current row. This could have caused Essentials to create documents that would be detected as Pro.
• Columns (PRO) — Changes to a column width due to typing a value in the Width field in the Column Type inspector are correctly saved.
• Columns (PRO) — When the window border lines up with a column edge, it will not be possible to resize that column by dragging on that edge in the row content area. This is to prevent accidental changes to the column size when the intent is to change the window size. The right-most column edge in the column header area is still a valid target for drag-resizing in this case.
• Columns (PRO) — Resizing additional columns through any means, including using the Resize to Fit option, will not turn off Autosize for the outline column. Instead the outline column will adjust width to accommodate the change after the resize is done, assuming size constraints are not encountered.
• Columns — In full-screen mode, the Autosize setting for the outline column will be disabled and can not be changed. Adjusting the outline column width, or in turn adjusting the margins, will preserve the Autosize setting. This allows adjustment of margins in full-screen mode while still returning to an autosizing document in window mode.
• Columns — In split-screen mode, the Autosize feature for the outline column will act like the document is in window mode instead of full-screen. This allows you to adjust the split-screen size without also having to manually adjust your outline width.
• Interface (PRO) — Changes to the background color of the Column Titles style will properly update on screen.
• Import (PRO) — Importing a plain text or rich text file to the Pro Edition will correctly enable the use of the sidebars.
• General — Unlocking Essentials or Pro when open documents are in the read-only state will automatically enable those documents for edits.
• Print — Essentials will not automatically scale print output to fit page width. Instead it will always wrap the content to the page width and respect the print scale in Page Setup.
• Print (PRO) — The Print option of Filter rows by status checkbox > Include unchecked will include mixed state rows so unchecked child rows appear.
• Interface — Fixed alignment of the Info button in the .oo3 file format upgrade bar.
• Copy/Paste — Pasting data from earlier versions of Excel no longer result in a PDF attachment.
• Exports — Changed the RTF export format to use multiple leading tabs per row level so that apps such as Mail that don’t properly support modified tab stops will appear with correct indentation. Wrapped text still may not appear correctly aligned in these cases.
• Stability (PRO) — Fixed a crash triggered by collapsing a section in the keyboard shortcut list while the shortcut field had focus.
• Toolbar — The Share button will have priority to be visible in the toolbar when there isn’t room for all icons to display due to it being non-functional when moved to the extras menu.
• Exports — Exporting to the .oo3 format preserves the Status values when Status Checkboxes are hidden.
