Congratulations and thank you to the team for version 1.7!
I haven’t had a chance to try out all of the new features. The outline function is neat, though I think it will take a bit to “wrap my head” around it, and make it truly useful… I can’t find an indent/outdent command, so perhaps that’s not in this rev. The documentation is greatly improved (though it can still be improved: documentation can never be too explicit, or too clear). The improved pdf text handling seems very useful.
For me, however, the most welcome feature is the ability to create and resolve aliases. This one feature utterly changes the way in which I will use DT…it frees my DT structure from my Finder file/folder hierarchy.
Just wanted to add my 2-cents. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! The update is excellent! I love being able to finally edit inline without having to pop up a window. Highlighing looks like it will be especially useful to me as well. It’s great to see you folks have been so busy!
Speed is noticeably improved. I can use the highlighting in many ways. And I think just the new and added formatting has improved documentation, though I look forward to updates as well.
Absolutely terrific! Especially the speed. It was so frustrating sometimes waiting for the older version. I could hardly believe my eyes the first time I saved an item in this new version.
This great new speedup got me thinking, though, about something that seems to take some unwarranted time, and is also visually jarring to me and I wondered if anyone else felt the same way about it or if it can be set off with a preference, and that is: When you drop a piece of data in a folder, the folder pops open and displays all the files in that folder and then pops closed again. Is this necessary?
Select any item you want to make an outline item, open the info palette and check "Outline". The file icon of the item should change into a checkbox you can use for whatever you like. That’s it.
