Lightning Brain TextExporter 3.1 - Changelog

What's new in Lightning Brain TextExporter 3.1:

May 17th, 2011

· CS5.5 support
· Support for anchored frames
· Support for footnotes frames

What's new in Lightning Brain TextExporter 3.0.1:

December 28th, 2010

· Fixed issue where ‘Export’ (without dialog) caused an error dialog to appear in InDesign CS5.

What's new in Lightning Brain TextExporter 3.0.0:

June 7th, 2010

· TextExporter is not a freebie any more – from version 3.0 onwards, you need to purchase a per-install license for continued use. If you are currently using version 2.1.3 with InDesign CS4 or earlier, there is no pressing need for you to upgrade. The most important change between 2.x and 3.x is CS5 support.

What's new in Lightning Brain TextExporter 2.1.3:

January 4th, 2010

· Can now optionally convert bullets and numbering before export, so bullets and numbering become part of the exported text.

What's new in Lightning Brain TextExporter 2.1.2:

November 27th, 2009

· Improved frame-by-frame collection: TextExporter has a new algorithm to try and ‘guess’ the logical reading order of frames on the spread.
· Fixed issue with ‘Convert Text To Black’ on some documents.

What's new in Lightning Brain TextExporter 2.1.1:

November 7th, 2009

· TextExporter 2.1.0 did not allow story-by-story export in InDesign CS and CS2 – fixed now.
· Frame-by-frame export now also exports contents of anchored frames
· CS3 export sequence does not export in reverse order any more.

What's new in Lightning Brain TextExporter 2.1.0:

November 4th, 2009

· TextExporter 2.0.9 did not work with InDesign CS and CS2 – fixed now.
· Fixed unreasonably slow ‘text to black’ feature.
· Fixed issue where TextExporter occasionally inserted separating newlines into the exported text in the wrong spot.

What's new in Lightning Brain TextExporter 2.0.9:

November 2nd, 2009

· Fixed extreme slowdown in version 2.0.8 – what should take seconds was taking many minutes or even longer.

What's new in Lightning Brain TextExporter 2.0.8:

October 10th, 2009

· Improved RTF export quality for CS3 and CS4. Normally, TextExporter goes through two export phases: first it exports individual stories to a temporary file, then appends that temporary file to a big text frame in a temporary InDesign document, and finally exports the big text frame – so in all, the same text is exported twice, and each time it is exported, there is some ‘decay’.
· In CS3 and above, TextExporter now uses a different method without the use of temporary files, and there is only a single export phase, which improves the quality of the exported RTF document.
· Can convert all text to black during export (so white text becomes visible in the RTF file).
· Can export frame-by-frame instead of story-by-story.

What's new in Lightning Brain TextExporter 2.0.7:

December 8th, 2008

· CS4 support.
· InCopy Support.
· Workaround for a CS4 ExtendScript bug that caused InDesign crashes on startup.
