Curio 8.0.8 Release Notes

Release Date

January 4, 2013

Requirements

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

Notable Tweaks

  • The figure inspector now has width and corner value entry fields, in addition to the existing sliders, so you can quickly type in a specific value. By popular request the border width field allows a fractional number such as a border width of 1.25.
  • Navigation page up / page down buttons now work with the primary or secondary view based on whichever one is active.
  • Much, much faster Calendar/Reminder syncing particularly during saves and autosaves if you have dozens or hundreds of tasks.
  • If you delete all the characters in a list title Curio will no longer remove the list title itself.
  • If not using the native system window restoration, Curio will now use its own technique to restore project window sizes.
  • The project and Scrapbook library views now include file extension information for images, movies, and sounds.
  • The Grab Web Archive function now creates much better previews instead of relying on Quick Look.

Notable Fixes

  • When switching between sections the splitter for the secondary view, if showing, will no longer creep to the right.
  • Fixed problem where the Notes window had an odd 2-inch wide right margin.
  • Fixed selection quirk that would occur if you hold spacebar to show the grabber hand but click and drag the mouse right before the grabber hand appears.
  • Fixed HTML exports generated on retina Macs so their HTML imagemaps work correctly.
  • Fixed problem where jump actions to other projects weren't working if the target project was already opened.
  • If a collection figure such as a mind map or list is selected and you change a font attribute then Curio now correctly propagates the change throughout the collection.

Power-User Preferences

  • On Retina Macs Curio will create 144 DPI HTML imagemap exports and image exports so they are optimized for those systems. The HTML imagemap will still look extremely good on non-Retina systems thanks to the HTML img height and width tags added to the HTML export templates and the browser's built-in scaling. Image exports will appear to be large on non-Retina systems unless the image viewer honors the image's DPI setting. If you wish to force Curio to output non-Retina (72 DPI) images on Retina systems then type the following in Applications > Utilities > Terminal: defaults write com.zengobi.curio "Image Export Force NonRetina" -bool yes
