More1.1
June 3, 2013
- This version introduces a new rule format. A file in the new format has a .rule extension and contains all the information about the rule: its name, description, table/tree data, and any color/icon information.
- The RuleTable and RuleTree algorithms have been replaced by a new algorithm called RuleLoader.
- If the Paste button sees pasteboard text starting with "@RULE rulename" then it will save the text as Documents/Rules/rulename.rule and switch to that rule.
- When the Rule dialog is switched to the RuleLoader algorithm it will display links to all the .rule files in Documents/Rules/ and to the supplied .rule files.
- Icons can be displayed at scales 1:8, 1:16 and 1:32 by turning on the "Show icons" option in either the Settings tab or the Pattern tab's state picker window.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the Undo/Redo buttons to be incorrectly enabled/disabled after tapping STOP.
- The Open tab has READ and EDIT links that let you display or change the contents of pattern files. Only files stored in the Documents folder can be edited.
- After tapping on a DELETE link you now get a warning dialog asking if you really want to delete the corresponding file.
- The size of text in the Help tab has been increased.
- Added support for iTunes file sharing.
