Curio 25 Release Notes 📖

Improvements

• Quick Find → Search Shelf
  Press ⌘Return in the Quick Find window to send the query to the Search shelf if you'd like to browse through several result items.
• Default Icon vs Preview
  A new Format > By Default Show Figure As submenu allows you to specify how new items dragged into Curio are displayed by default (icon vs preview), instead of Curio trying to determine this automatically.
• Edit Action Figure via Double-Click
  

  If you have a figure that has an assigned action, and a visible actions adornment, then double-clicking will edit the figure's text. To perform the action you have to click the adornment. If a figure's actions adornment is hidden the double-clicking will still perform the action. To edit the figure select the figure and press Return or click-pause-click.

• List Default Width
  The list collection figure will now remember its last width when empty (ignoring the title) and use that size the next time you create a new list.
• YouTube Video Titles
  Tweak to the title retrieving logic for YouTube URLs because they lazily set their <title> tag to "YouTube" instead of the actual title of the video (ugh).
• Curio Feature Roundup
  New Help > Curio Feature Roundup for those that want to see an index of all the big features.
• Paste As > List
  

  If, from outside of Curio, you copy several lines of rich text then paste them into Curio using Paste As > List, attributes such as URL link and foreground/background color attributes can be maintained (in most cases), instead of converting to plain text.

• YouTube Video Start/End Times
  You can now embed YouTube videos with start and end times! Curio will automatically map YouTube links that have t= start times into appropriate the embedded URL's start= parameter. You can also manually edit the URL in the inspector bar and add an end= parameter to have it end at the specified number of seconds.
• Project Milestones
  

  The Project inspector now has a Milestones section so you can enter project milestones which can be used in a Quick Find query, Organizer filter, and Search shelf.

• Initial WebView Browsing Mode
  Inserting a new WebView or using Show As Live View won't immediately going into browsing mode so the user is able to more easily drag and re-position or resize the figure before double-clicking on it to begin browsing.
• Less Obtrusive Selection Glow
  Tweak to normal selection glow: the blue glow now only appears if figure is unbordered and unfilled, or in a group or collection. This can be customized.
• Calendar Sync Names
  The Calendar sync popups can now show the calendar's source name, like Family (iCloud), via the Calendar Sync Name Includes Source advanced preference. Handy when you have lots of calendars from different sources that have the same names.
• Project Download Needed
  

  When opening a project Curio will now use Apple's ubiquitous API, that all cloud services are adopting, in order to determine if the project is completely downloaded and warns before continuing the open.

• Preferences vs Settings
  When running on macOS Ventura or greater Curio's menus will be titled Settings and Advanced Settings. If on an older macOS they will be titled Preferences and Advanced Preferences. The docs, however, all say Settings now that the majority of our Curio 15+ customers are running on Ventura.
• Trial Expiration / Freemium
  When a trial or license expires instead of going into read-only mode Curio will now go into a free mode with the Standard feature set where users can continue exploring the bundled Welcome to Curio project, and create and edit their own projects each with up to 5 idea spaces. Larger projects are opened read-only for viewing, exporting, and printing.
