Curio 8.0.7 Release Notes

Release Date

December 12, 2012

Requirements

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

Robustness Tweaks

  • Took care of the rare possibility where Curio could open multiple windows to the same underlying project at the same time, causing all sorts of hangs and errors.
  • Defeated the dreaded "this document as been modified outside this application" warning that could sometimes appear, especially if editing projects hosted off a remote server with a slightly off time clock.
  • Added more synchronization checks so deleting figures won't mess up a background preview rendering and cause a crash or hang.

Notable Fixes

  • Changed it so Curio will not open an untitled window by default now.
  • Fixed problem where you couldn't drag an idea space directly to a collection such as a table or list.
  • Fixed bug where setting a new default line style (via the Format menu) didn't work when drawing a new line.
  • Fixed oddity where the mouse pointer changes to an arrow, instead of remaining as a crosshair, when trying to draw repeated figures such as rectangles.

Power-User Preferences

  • Curio will use the crosshair cursor when scribbling with brushes 2 pixels wide or smaller. You can now change that by typing the following in Applications > Utilities > Terminal: defaults write com.zengobi.curio "Brush Crosshair At Size" -float 2.0
