Three hints

Sunday, December 11th, 2011

After the last update we were asked repeatedly about the possibility to change the shortcut for opening the command tool. We don’t use the third party framework anymore, but it is very easy to achieve the same effect it with standard OS X functionality.

Just open the System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Application Shortcuts, click on the “+”, choose “WriteFlow” as Application, enter “Command Tool…” and press your shortcut -> Done.

Another feature which might pass sometimes unnoticed: With WriteFlow it is really easy to import book information from Z39.50 compatible library servers.

But we also included the possibility to automatically load linked PDFs when you click the “import” button. This works e.g. for Project Muse. Just make sure you’re part of your university VPN (otherwise, you often won’t have the right to access the PDFs).

And one last thing: Writeflow will produce a lot of errors and crashes when you use an (outdated) input manager. There is nothing we can do about it….

Update 0.9122 Beta

Friday, December 9th, 2011

It has been a long wait, but the new update is finally here. we had to overhaul the Command Tool, the Search function and a lot of other stuff in order to move forward. Now we are working on new features and improved usability. I hope you appreciate our steady progress and we are looking forward to feedback of any kind!
