Curio 8.0.5 Release Notes

Release Date

November 28, 2012

Requirements

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

Notable Tweaks

  • If you click on a jump action or idea space link then we open the target in the same primary/secondary split view unless the Option key is held down then we open the link in the opposite split view.
  • The primary and secondary split views now have their own independent histories so the navigation bar can be used to go backward and forward in history in each view separately depending on which one has focus.
  • When sorting the Project Library or Scrapbook by size, Curio will now report more accurate asset sizes, particularly for package files.
  • Tasks synced with Reminders will now remember their original time values instead of replacing them with 12:00AM — remember that Apple's Reminders app doesn't support syncing reminder times so they will still appear as 12:00AM in that app.
  • New Format > Clear All Meta menu item.

Robustness Tweaks

  • Now using a background thread again for Organizer idea space previews but with new internal locks and timing smarts to make it more robust and less obtrusive.
  • Fixed issue where figure notes may not be saved in certain focus situations.
  • Curio is now more reliable when autosaving and restoring untitled projects.
  • Curio will no longer try to open a previously opened project if it is now in the Trash or is already open via another thread.
  • Curio will now validate all asset file names to make sure they don't contain \0 (null) characters which was causing some very rare exceptions.
  • Curio now correctly handles Mathematica Notebook files as normal documents and not movie files, also the odd related crash regarding SearchKit attempting to scan Notebook files has been fixed as well.

Power-User Preferences

  • You can now prevent Curio from opening a new, untitled project on start-up by typing the following in Applications > Utilities > Terminal: defaults write com.zengobi.curio "General Open Untitled" -bool NO
  • By default the new Format > Clear All Meta menu item resets all meta fields. This can be customized by typing the following in Applications > Utilities > Terminal: defaults write com.zengobi.curio "Clear All Meta Leaves Percent Complete" -bool YES
    defaults write com.zengobi.curio "Clear All Meta Leaves Checkmark" -bool YES
