Additions and Enhancements

Make Connections

• The footer bar and other UI elements have been refreshed for a more modern appearance.

Note Styles

• You can now assign note styles via the inspector using the new “Note Styles” palette.
• Create new note styles by dragging notes into the inspector.
• Drag a style out of the inspector to create a new note of that style.
• You can now assign the keyboard shortcuts Cmd-Opt-1 to Cmd-Opt-9 to note styles.

iCloud

• A “Scapple” folder now appears in iCloud Drive.

Other

• Holding down Shift and Command in Movement Mode now speeds up moving notes even more than just holding down Shift.

Bug Fixes

• Tiled background images should now appear the same when exporting and printing as in the UI.

• Numerous bug fixes.

Yosemite Compatible

Bug fixes and minor refinements for Yosemite support.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed bug whereby colour palette popovers would contain a large, empty grey area on Yosemite.
• Fixed bug whereby changing the text colour of a note while editing it would not update the insertion point colour.
• When notes are faded, their shadows are now also faded.
• Fixed bug whereby arrows might not be drawn correctly when drawing fell across fractional pixels.
• Fixed bug whereby notes count label could disappear beneath the zoom slider during window resizing.
• Fixed bug whereby editing could suddenly end when editing a note at the edge of the view when the board was scaled.
• Hopefully fixed bug whereby notes that inherited the fill colour of a background shape would be filled with too dark a colour when the background shape was faded.

Refinements and Changes

Mavericks Compatible

• Enhanced for Mavericks, including support for tags and responsive scrolling.

Enhancements

• When creating a new note with Cmd-Return, the new note now maintains the indent level of the selected note.
• Showing or hiding the footer bar will now determine the setting for new documents.
• Added View > Page Guides, which provides guides showing where page boundaries will fall when printing.
• Minor changes to file format and file reading for compatibility with Windows version.
• Scapple now drags out rich text to Scrivener (requires Scrivener 2.5).
• Rearranged inspector for consistency.
• When exporting only selected notes, only the selected items in a stack are now exported (previously the whole stack beneath the first note selected in it would be exported).
• Export now prioritises stack order over cluster order.
• When notes are stacked, they now always maintain their left alignment with other notes in the stack, even when auto-sizing is enabled and the notes are right- or centre-aligned.
• When splitting a note, the new note now uses the default note wih5h rather than the wih5h of the note it was split from while editing.
• The Preferences panel now applies changes when it loses focus even if the focus was still in one of its text fields.
• Indenting notes is now limited so that you cannot indent so much that a note’s text disappears.
• When double-clicking to create a new note, the placement of the note will now depend on the default alignment as set in the Preferences.
• Notes created by double-clicking on lines now use the default note style rather than the style of one of the connected notes, even if “Use selected note style for new notes” is set in the Preferences.
• You can now drag any file type onto the canvas. Notes containing links will be created for files other than text or image files.
• You can now drag URLs onto the canvas from web pages.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed bug whereby the board would not reload when versions were restored.
• Fixed bug whereby notes set to use black text colour would always use the default text colour.
• Fixed bug whereby the “z” QuickZoom shortcut didn’t work on all international keyboards.
• Fixed bug whereby printing documents with coloured or patterned backgrounds may result in the arrows or text not being visible in the print-out (or exported PDF) because the text would always be black and the connecting lines would use the default text colour regardless of whether the background was set to be printed or not.
• Fixed bug whereby connecting lines did not use default text colour.
• Fixed bug whereby quitting the app while editing a note would cause the edits to that note to be lost.
• Fixed bug whereby Paste would not work for images on the clipboard.
• Fixed minor bug whereby auto-sizing wouldn’t work if you changed the font size while a note was being edited.
• Fixed bugs affecting stacks when used with right-to-left direction.
• Fixed display bug which would cause the window to appear before it was fully set up.
• Fixed bug whereby double-clicking on a line inside a shape would create a new note that was not connected to the line.
• Fixed bug whereby alignment and indent was lost when pasting text into a note.
• Fixed bug whereby the default alignment set in the Preferences wouldn’t be applied when using Apply Note Style > Default Note Style.
• Shadows at the edges of the board no longer get clipped when printing or generating a PDF or PNG.
