Mar 21, 2017
  • Fixed a bug:
  • Program crashed, when Searching or Exporting to a text file.

New in Foliaro 1.10.1 (Jun 17, 2014)

  • Save tabs with external URL when closing the file, in order to resume the tabs when reopend. To enable this feature, go to the Tools menu -> Settings -> Preference dialog. (External pages shown by bookmarks are resumed as before)
  • Jump to a specific location within the node (Supporting Anchor #name). You can directly jump to a specific location within the node, scrolling the page so that the location will be seen. Put an anchor name after # when setting a link.
  • Modified the menu shown on the icon "Recently opened files" in the main toolbar. Submenu "Favourite files" has been added to the top of the menu.

  • New menu "Paste text only" in the Edit menu. Alternatively, you may press the Ctrl+Shift+V keys. (Convenient for using in an intrinsic outliner. When you click the right mouse-button at the end of a line, the whole line is selected, causing it's difficult to append something)

  • Added "IFrame.html" in the template folder.

  • Bugs fixed:
  • [serious] With a 64bit-CPU

  • [serious] Crash on saving scroll positions (in case a node is deleted)
  • [serious] Crash when exporting to a text file or during search through the whole document.
  • Spaces were removed in the String textbox on the Link dialog.

  • Other small internal improvements.

New in Foliaro 1.7.1 (Nov 5, 2012)

  • Now it's possible to paste images from the clipboard:
  • The pasted image is imported to the Foliaro file. The default image type is BMP(bitmap). You can change the default type to BMP or JPG by the option "Default image type when pasted" (Tools->Settings->Preferences).
  • When pasting an image from a browser:
  • You can directly import the image when you select "Copy image" on your browser. Set the option "Pasting image from browser" to "import" (Tools->Settings->Preferences).
  • You can copy an image to the clipboard:
  • Press the right mouse-button on an image, and select "Copy image" from the context menu.
  • "Paste with Source URL":
  • Formerly the pasted HTML source was enclosed by .... Now the tag is removed, meaning, only the HTML source is pasted.
  • The Image Dialog:
  • When you select an image from the File Dialog or the Imported Images Dialog, the file name is put in the ALT Text box.
  • Importing images has been improved (internally).
  • List of passwords for sites:

New in Foliaro 1.6.1 (Sep 17, 2012)

  • Added the Search Range option on the Search dialog:
  • Selectable from: (1)Current article, (2)Entire document, (3)Group, (4)Current node and its descendants.
  • Added the option Case Sensitive on the Replace dialog
  • Deleting strings by the Replace dialog:
  • When the "Replace with" is empty, the strings of "Search for" are deleted.
  • Added the "Paste plain text" button on the HTML Edit dialog:
  • Available with the existing "Paste HTML source" button.
  • Fixed the bug (character encoding) when pasting plain text.
  • An empty line () is inserted when a new table is created:
  • In the earlier versions, when a table is inserted at the end of the article, no text can be entered below the table.
  • Added "Always show Tip bar" in the View menu (This option has been moved from the Settings dialog.)
  • "Remove Format" in the "Paragraphs, Headings..." menu has been improved:
  • Now the format (the class and style attributes) in the child elements are also removed. When a fragment of HTML is pasted from a browser, unneeded classes and long style definitions are added, making the size larger. This command in the "Paragraphs, Headings..." removes long styles to make the size smaller.
  • There is a similar icon "Remove Format"; this cannot remove the style attributes in the paragraph/headings ( etc.) themselves.
  • Added the ALT Text property on the Image dialog:
  • This text will be shown for an incorrect URL.
  • Selecting an alignment of the image has been changed to using combo-box instead of radio buttons.

New in Foliaro 1.5.1 (Sep 17, 2012)

  • Saving scroll positions:

  • Added the "Paste HTML source" button in the HTML edit dialog:
  • For advanced edit, you can paste HTML source, which has been copied with a browser. The ordinary Ctrl+V operation pastes only the plain text.
  • Adjusting the window's position:
  • When the position of the window that is about to open is outside the display screen, the window will be moved to the upper left corner, so that you can actually view it. Chances are that the window's position gets outside the display screen, when you open a file that was created with another PC, and the current PC's display is smaller than that PC's.
  • Recognizable async mode:
  • The color of the Navigator toolbar will be changed when in the async mode, to distinguish the mode apparently.
  • Colors of toolbar and tabs:
  • You can change the colors of the toolbars and tabs, although, currently no settings-dialog is provided. You have to edit the settings.ini file directly yourself. The settings-dialog will be provided in a later version if there are requests.
  • Easier key operation:
  • Focus will be set on the Article pane, when you open a file, select a tab, etc. so that the key operation gets easier.
  • Added an attribute "line-height:1.3em" for #editText in the customstyle.css file (the same as #text) Applied to the nodes in Plain Text format.
  • Show the DDE error message. An error at launch. Normally not shown.
  • Other small changes.

New in Foliaro 1.4.1 (May 4, 2012)

  • New internal data format of Intrinsic Outliner
  • The saved data size becomes smaller (about minus 30 bytes per topic). When a node of Intrinsic Outliner is displayed, the data is automatically converted to the new format. You can view the node of new Outliner with an earlier version of Foliaro, but some operations are impossible.
  • Reduced memory consumption
  • Improved event procedures for Intrinsic Outliner and links.
  • Passwords for sites
  • Resolved the problem unable to set the username/password in some sites.
  • Option : Always show the Tip pane below the Article
  • In some sites, when the mouse pointer hovers over a link, the page scrolls back to the top. This is caused by the size change of the Article pane when the tip appears.If this option is checked, the Tip pane stays on, making the Article size unchanged.
  • Option : Quick reaction after 5-minute idle time
  • When you press a key (F1, F5, etc) or select another node after no interaction with Foliaro for 5 minutes or more, Foliaro will respond with delay of 2..3 seconds. This option enables quicker response in such a situation. See Preferences for more details.
  • Maximum number of Search engines = 50 (10 for earlier versions)
  • Style : added "padding-top:2px" to the ._node_ class
  • This inserts a space between topics in the Intrinsic Outliner. You can adjust the space by changing the value (2px). This attribute does not exist in the existing files created by earlier versions; you have to add the attribute yourself.
  • SQLite 3.7.11 (2012-03-20) latest database engine
  • Fixed bugs related to Relative paths
  • Conversion error between the relative and absolute path when a relative path contains ::Parameters ::WorkingFolder
  • Pasted relative paths: when a relative path is pasted to another file, it is converted to a path relative to that file. If the target file is new, the path is converted to absolute.
  • Dealing with URLs when drag-and-dropped
  • Fixed bugs: "../../../" (or "../../") was prepended to the URL of a link / image.
  • Support path names in Unicode.
  • When dropped onto another Foliaro file:
  • Internal images are imported into the destination file.
  • Links to the internal nodes become invalid.
  • Relative paths to the images are converted to paths relative to the destination file.
  • NOTE: Relative paths in the link URLs are left unchanged!
  • Fixed bug in the Intrinsic Outliner:
  • When you move a topic to the right, it becomes a child of the above topic, which, however, is not expanded from the collapsed state.
  • Other small improvements

New in Foliaro 1.3.1 (Mar 28, 2012)

  • File Path relative to the current file:
  • Use relative paths for links, images, and bookmarks by checking "Make the path relative" on each dialog. The path becomes relative to the current Foliaro file. Useful, for instance, when you store images in sub-folders. When exporting, you can choose relative or absolute -- leaving the paths relative or converting them into absolute paths.
  • Edit bookmarked text files:
  • You can edit text files that is bookmarked in the Navigator. Click on the "Editable" checkbox to edit on the Bookmark dialog.
  • Improved view of linked text file:
  • Text files are transformed into HTML format to be displayed; that is, long lines are wrapped at the right end of the article pane.
  • Improved behavior of moving topics in the Intrinsic outliner:
  • When moving a topic with Ctrl+Up/Down keys, it will be moved one by one topic upward/downward. For instance, when you move down a topic toward an expanded topic, it becomes the first child of the expanded topic below. On the contrary, when you move up a topic toward an expanded topic, it becomes the last child of the expanded topic. When the first or last child of a topic is moved up/down, it becomes a sibling of the (old) parent. But if you move a topic toward a collapsed topic, it is moved below/above the collapsed topic (does not become a child).
  • Improved behavior of moving nodes in the Navigator:
  • The same as in the Intrinsic outliner
  • Search Engine:
  • You can add up to 10 search engines, which are shown in the Search menu. (Actually, they can be any sites)
  • Searching for the selected text on the web:
  • In addition to the default search engine, you can set up more search engines. Useful for searching web dictionaries. The search menu will be shown when you press the right mouse-button while selecting a word in the article. Set up by clicking Menu Tools→Settings→"Search Engine settings for selected text"

  • "Favorite files" and "Search Engine settings" are now on separate dialogs. Click the links on the Preference panel.
