What’s New
One last file format change. We recently introduced the .highland bundle file format, but many users were finding it difficult to transfer .highland files over the internet.
To make these files easier to use, we’ve modified the format to be based on the zip compression format, rather than a folder.
Forced page numbers Sometimes you really need to renumber the pages. For example, if you have a dedication page after your title page, you probably still want the first page of your script to be 1. Now you can do that.
{{PAGENUMBER: 1}}
Will make the current page 1, and start counting from there. (Any integer will do, so you could start at 16 if that’s what you need.)
If you set the page number to something that’s not an integer, it will stay that way until you change it.
Assets panel improvements. First, you can now QuickLook items in the Assets panel. Just select the item and hit space (same as in the Finder) and you’ll get a system generated QuickLook of the item.
Second, you can now rename assets directly in the sidebar. Select an item, then click on its name and you can edit it in place. Any usage of that asset in your text document will be updated to match the new name.
Bug Fixes and Improvements
- New documents remember the last template you chose.
- Sprints will give you the correct word count (instead of a negative number — yeesh!)
- The Assemble menu command works with .highland files.
- Adding or removing assets correctly rebuilds the PDF preview (you don’t get stale previews).
- Character highlighting works correctly.
- Spit-and-polish on UI elements.
