Curio 8.0.2 Release Notes

Release Date

October 25, 2012

Requirements

Curio 8 runs on macOS Lion (10.7) or Mountain Lion (10.8).

Notable Tweaks

  • By extremely popular request and to be consistent with earlier versions of Curio, double-clicking a PDF figure once again opens it with the Finder instead of going into annotation mode. Click the Start Annotations inspector button or hold Option and double-click the figure if you wish to annotate instead.
  • You can now press the Escape key to end PDF annotation mode.
  • The mind map and list inspector popovers have a new button: Apply Default Style To Selected Branch. When clicked, the selected figures and all their children will instantly adopt the default styling appropriate for their hierarchical location in the collection. This comes in very handy after drag-and-dropping branches around in a mind map or list and quickly styling those items to match sibling branches.

Robustness Tweaks

  • Fixed a kernel panic (!) which would occur in OS X 10.8.2 if a Quartz Composer presentation mode transition was used.
  • More robust handling if you delete a playing YouTube video or other active WebView-based figure.
  • If you add notes to a figure then switch to another app, Curio will now make sure to save any note changes.
  • Fixed a spot where a preview was getting generated in the background during presentation mode, which could cause a rare crash.
  • Fixed an invalid figure size error when importing movie files that don't include a poster frame (mainly mp4 files I believe).

Notable Fixes

  • Fixed issue where PDF figures always had a thin gray border and shadow.
  • Fixed issue where disclosure triangles weren't being drawn with some index card styles.
  • Fixed Window > Center, Window > Left Half, and other similar menu items so that the minimum window bounds and Dock location are taken under consideration.
  • Fixed issue where notes weren't being picked up by the OPML/MMAP importers.
  • Fixed issue where dragging a figure over a table didn't highlight the cell you would drop onto.
  • Found a place where were were doing some unnecessary redrawing of figures on the screen. Dragging items around should be quite a bit faster on complex idea spaces.

Power-User Preferences

  • Added hidden preference to the mind map & list text outline exporter. Normally we strip carriage returns contained in figure notes. However, you can tell Curio to leave them in by typing the following in Applications > Utilities > Terminal: defaults write com.zengobi.curio "Copy Text Outline Note Keep CRLF" -bool YES
