  • Bean 3.0.8 Screenshots

    The images below have been resized. Click on them to view the screenshots in full size.

What's new in this version:

Changes:
- The draft view now shows the resizer bars only when the view width is greater than the setting at Preferences > Size > Limit Draft View Width to ... % of Screen, or when the window width is almost equal to the screen width (20120306-1). To re-enable the previous behavior where the resizers are always visible in draft mode, use this terminal command (change YES to NO to reverse the setting): defaults write com.bean-osx.Bean prefDoNotHideDraftWidthResizers -bool YES
- The tab bar of the grouped document window now has a ‘+’ button to easily create new documents (20120229-1).
- Bean now opens an untitled document (if no documents are open) after being activated by a click in the dock, as this is standard Cocoa behavior (20120226-1). To re-enable the previous behavior where no document is created, use this terminal command (change NO to YES to reverse the setting): defaults write com.bean-osx.Bean prefOpenUntitledAtActivate -bool NO
- Refined the appearance of document tabs in the tab bar (20120222-1).

Bug fixes:
- File > Export > PDF could fail on PPC Macs due to uninitialized variable. Fixed (20120304-1).
- The unused section of the document tab bar can now be used (like the title bar and tool bar) to drag/move the window (20120226-2).
- Some graphic resources in Bean are now smaller thanks to Mike Detwiler (20120301-1).
- Added/corrected/improved many VoiceOver labels (20120219-1).
- The offset of the layout view text ruler now immediately updates when the window is resized (20120219-3).
- Localized: Edit > Show Spelling and Grammar and Edit > Check Spelling While Typing
- Insert > Line Break now uses the responder method insertLineBreak: and now also maintains the typing attributes (20120223-1).
- In Bean 3.x, double-clicking the top or bottom margin of a page in layout view causes the header/footer sheet to show. In 3.0.8, the header text or footer text in the sheet is initially active based on which area of the layout view was clicked (20120219-5).
- In Bean 3.x, a click in the top half of the right resizable draft margin results in a page up, while a click in the bottom half of the right resizable draft margin results in a page down. The code has been improved in 3.0.8 to reduce unintended actions (20120219-4).
