What's new in Movie Magic Screenwriter 6.0.10.165
Feb 13, 2013
- Fixes/Changes:
- 6.0.10 corrects a minor bug in 6.0.9 that prevented changing the overall application display of text color, page color and the window background (when in Full Page view).
New in Movie Magic Screenwriter 6.0.6.144 (Jan 25, 2010)
- Fixed installer issue on OS 10.4 (Tiger) and OS 10.5 (Leopard), where it would give a false message about the existing software being newer than the udpate.
- Fixed a potential, minor memory leak on OS 10.6 (only).
New in Movie Magic Screenwriter 6.0.5.140 (Nov 5, 2009)
- Previous versions of Mac Screenwriter only permitted 27 character filenames. This version allows LONG Unicode filenames.
- By “long” we mean greater than 64 characters and less than 225 characters. Unicode filename support allows for non-Latin characters in filenames.
- Long Unicode filenames are supported in these areas:
- Opening Files.
- Double-Clicking files / drag file onto program icon.
- Print from Finder command.
- Recently Opened Files list (in FILES menu).
- New files - Save, Save As - Save a Copy (including in different formats)
- Import.
- Export (all formats).
- Send as Email Attachment.
- Print to PDF (always supported long filenames).
- Backup files (.bk Previous Version files).
- AutoSave / Timed Backup (.tmb) - Templates (all operations).
- Load Style from Screenwriter Document.
- Load User List from Screenwriter Document.
- Cut / Copy to New File / Existing File / Scrap.
- Paste From...
- Window Titles.
- Window menu names.
- Various Dialogs and Alerts that display filenames.
- Compare Scripts.
- iPartner.
- Corrected Issues:
- When you attempt to connect to another machine using iPartner and then cancel the connection, the program crashes.
- Cut or PASTE to Scrap file crashes when attempting these operations on an unsaved file.
- Weird (and incorrect) background color on Intel Mac when Windows iPartner shows file.
- In iPartner when you send a file with a long name from PC to Mac or from Mac to Mac, the file name gets stripped down to 31 characters.
- Page Up/Page Down double arrow buttons below vertical scrollbar are not working (affected Intel Macs only).
- Screenwriter crashes when you open and then immediately close Streamline. (occurred rarely, and only when Streamline was checking for updates).
- There was a problem deleting stale .bk backup files. Stale .bk files are backups that are the oldest backups that exceed the maximum number of backup copies the user wishes to retain. The bug was that “stale” .bk files with the same base name located in the same Previous Versions folder would erroneously get deleted. For example, Script 001.bk and Script Revision 001.bk might both be deleted, when it was intended for only one to be deleted. It probably didn’t affect many users and certainly didn’t cause anyone to lose material.
- Enhancements:
- Made maximum width of Screenwriter’s FILE menu wider, so if long filenames appear in the “Recently Used” area of the File Menu, they won’t be likely to be abbreviated to be shorter.
- Re-Wrapped with new PACE 5.7.1. This version supports the upcoming “Snow Leopard” (OS X 10.6).
- Previous version limit raised from 99 to 999.
- Courier MM Screenwriter is now the default font used in the default template.
New in Movie Magic Screenwriter 6.0.4.127 (Nov 22, 2008)
- Corrected Defects:
- Sync Frame does not move to selected row in the NaviDoc.
- Corrected a crash that could happen if user deleted Screenwriter preferences file.
- Corrected a defect where saving a file for the first time the default name in the Save Dialog would be .mmsw instead of Untitled.mmsw.
- Other Changes:
- Program now has the capability to enable future Screenwriter plugins.
New in Movie Magic Screenwriter 6.0.3.111 (Apr 1, 2008)
- In some cases scrolling the document displays incorrectly by either repeating lines or not redrawing portions of the windows.
- Dragging a Screenwriter clipping (text dragged to the Finder desktop) back from the Finder Desktop into a Screenwriter document causes a crash.
- Added the ability to customize the Screen Colors for the program. This can be found in the Screenwriter > Preferences under the Miscellaneous section. You can customize the: Page Color, Text Color, Background, Selection Background
- When activating the software, the manual activation screen will only appear if the internet activation fails.
- All templates and sample scripts now use our proprietary Courier MM Screenwriter font.
- Added the following Templates: Cole & Haag Screenplay Format, Warner Brothers Screenplay Format, BBC Screenplay Format, BBC Screenplay Format for TV, BBC TV Three-Camera Format, BBC TV Tape-Live Format
