Changes in Detail

Outline

  • The new smart book All Task Lists can be enabled in Settings > Tasks and provides a list of all task lists along with the numbers of open and due tasks.
  • Right-clicking the empty space in the outline selects top level as expected. This is especially relevant for context menus.

Document List

  • Favorites preserve their custom sort order (although the sort order is not yet synced between devices).
  • Sorting documents by title now includes their path extensions, so the sort order is consistent.
  • With hide done tasks active, done task display as expected when opened from recent items or from a link (in previous versions they did not show), and done tasks don’t accidentally reappear when their contents is modified.
  • Renaming pinned items no longer clears their pinned state.

Text Editing

  • Automatically inserted closing characters no longer interfere with nested LaTeX commands like {\mathcal{T}}.
  • With automatically insert closing characters enabled, typing return before ), } or ] jumps over the closing character instead of moving it to the next line. Use shift-return to move the character to the next line.

Markdown

  • The option Make Headings Clickable Links turns headings into links pointing to themselves. This provides a convenient shortcut for copying links to sections. (Option in Settings > Write&Edit > Markdown).
  • Correctly display multiple tables of contents in Markdown documents (you can use TOC more than once in a document, with different options like {{TOC:2}}, {{TOC:2-}} etc).

Document Themes

  • Updated document themes to avoid orphaned headings in print.
  • Footnotes, Mentions etc. display a heading again when listed at bottom of the document (macOS 13).

Misc

  • System Font and System Monospaced Font are available from the font picker.
  • Rename documents from the Info panel.
  • Recognize Text delivers better results for documents scanned in low quality.
  • Toggling autosave in settings no longer accidentally toggles closing characters.
  • Open and display .bike files.
  • macOS 13.3: When leaving fullscreen, reliably resize window.
  • Interface enhancements.
