Growly Write Changelog

What's new in Growly Write 2.4.9

Dec 5, 2023
  • A new preference (in the Appearance pane) draws the title row of tables in a solid color instead of the default gradient. If the cells of the title row are assigned a background color, that overrides the preference.
  • Dark mode in draft view works better.
  • When you saved a document to RTF and then reopened it, some of the document properties (format panel Doc tab) might have changed.

New in Growly Write 2.4.8 (Nov 7, 2023)

  • A new option in the format panel Doc/Basics prevents typographic (“curly”) quotes from being added to the document. When you turn this on it also converts all existing curly quote marks in the document to simple ones. It is on by default for all s.
  • When saving to RTF, the fonts used in the document are identified more accurately, so if the font doesn’t exist on the target computer the document will match more exactly.
  • If you opened a document and chose File→Close before the document had completely opened (for example if it contained some large images that caused it to take a moment to load), the window did not close completely, and clicking in it would crash.
  • Selecting a table column and choosing Format→Plain changed text in unselected columns as well.
  • Printing a document from the Finder could occasionally cause a crash.
  • Several of the lists in the format panel (for example paragraph tabs) were squashed.

New in Growly Write 2.4.7 (Sep 6, 2023)

  • It was possible to enter a bookmark name that had a return character in it. This had unfortunate, though non-lethal, consequences.

New in Growly Write 2.4.6 (May 14, 2023)

  • If the very last thing in a document was a picture and you saved to ePub format, the page with the picture could not be displayed.
  • After File→Revert to Saved, the Styles popup on the toolbar was not updated.

New in Growly Write 2.4.5 (May 14, 2023)

  • The cleanup command for Word via RTF now converts Table of Contents entries to plain text and deletes notes. It also preserves the “The End” divider .
  • Deleting a note reference (created by Insert→Note) could cause a crash.

New in Growly Write 2.4.4 (Jan 5, 2023)

  • When saving to HTML or ePub, variables that normally show a bookmark’s page number hide it, since page numbers don’t mean anything on HTML pages.
  • The Tools→Cleanup submenu has a new command for exporting to Word via RTF. This simplifies some things that would otherwise not come into Word properly.
  • When saving to HTML or ePub, variables whose text included HTML-reserved characters such as ‘&’ were not escaped, so the HTML failed.
  • Selecting the entire document and choosing Tools→Change Capitalization could hang.
  • When you selected an entire list that has multiple levels, the ruler showed the left and first indents incorrectly. If you converted the list to text it would still show the wrong indents.
  • When you selected more than one paragraph and they had different first or left indents, the ruler did not operate properly.
  • In the spelling panel, the Learn button was supposed to unlearn the word if it had previously been learned, but it didn't. It now changes to Unlearn if the word has been learned, and works properly.
  • Changing the definition of a paragraph style didn't always update text that had character styles, such as links. This could leave the font of links unchanged when you modified the paragraph's font, which was quite annoying.
  • In text that contained high Unicode text such as emojis and Asian ideograms, selection and deletion using the keyboard didn't work properly. For example, it took two backspaces to delete the character ⻝. It's possible there are still characters for which you would have this problem, but the vast majority now work properly.

New in Growly Write 2.4.3 (Nov 15, 2022)

  • If you hold down the option key while double-clicking a word, the word is selected but not the trailing spaces.
  • The commands Select Table and Select Whole Table Rows have been moved to the Table menu, and now there is also a Select Whole Columns.
  • When opening one of the formats, the zoom set in the New Docs pane of Preferences was intentionally ignored and the document was shown at 100%. After 10 years, I decided that this was a bad idea. Also, “.js” is now on the list of technical files.
  • If you used the keyboard command for Find→Previous Chapter it would jump to the start of the document instead. Find→Next Chapter would jump to the end.
  • Find→Find Specific Picture was broken.
  • When whole table columns were selected, all pictures in the table looked as if they were selected even if they weren’t in the selected columns.

New in Growly Write 2.4.2 (Aug 24, 2022)

  • One of the types of tabs you can set in a paragraph is a “bar” tab, which draws a line at the tab position. You can now set the color of that line in the format panel Doc/Basics.
  • Using option + → to jump to the next word could cause Write to hang when you did it in certain special cases involving punctuation.
  • If you changed the find or replace string in the Find dialog but went back to your document without pushing any of the action buttons, the change was not noticed. Therefore the Find and Replace menu commands would do the wrong thing.

New in Growly Write 2.4.1 (Jun 26, 2022)

  • OPML files created by OmniOutliner and a few other misguided apps contain subsidiary notes for some outline entries. Write now reads those as well as the main text.
  • Custom colors in Preferences were not remembered properly, and all colors chosen from the color picker were slightly off.

New in Growly Write 2.4 (Jun 16, 2022)

  • Write now requires Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite or later.
  • There’s a new shortcut for zooming to a specific value. Type ⌘1 to zoom to 100%, ⌘2 for 200%, and so on. These activate menu items on the View→Zoom By % submenu. Because of this the shortcut for View→Two Pages Across had to change.
  • When pasting links from secure websites (https://), queries and fragments (everything after ? or #) are removed from the initial display string.
  • Write can now read OPML files, which are often used for RSS lists but were also an export option for Circus Ponies Notebook.
  • Searching for repeated characters didn’t always work, for example searching for ‘xxxy’ when the document text contained ‘xxxxxy’ would fail.

New in Growly Write 2.3.8 (Apr 10, 2022)

  • In multi-column chapters with balancing turned on, rare cases where the text just barely didn’t fit on a page could cause Write to hang.

New in Growly Write 2.3.7 (Feb 6, 2022)

  • Write can now read the notes from the Stickies app.

New in Growly Write 2.3.6 (Sep 8, 2021)

  • The stop list for sorting now includes many more prepositions, such as from and until.
  • Changing the capitalization to First Letter (using Tools→Change Capitalization or the command on the context menu) will not capitalize words on the sort stop list unless they start a sentence.
  • Copying whole words by double-clicking and pasting immediately after a word (before its trailing space) could crash.
  • Two problems with centered or right-justified text in table cells:
  • If you tried to drag-and-drop it, the drag image was incomplete or missing.
  • If it was selected by a search, the selection highlight could be wrong.

New in Growly Write 2.3.5 (Jul 25, 2021)

  • Opening an RTF file that contained pictures could cause Write to crash.

New in Growly Write 2.3.4 (Jul 7, 2021)

  • Two new options for sorting. You set these in the Tools→Sort dialog.
  • When sorting tables you can force empty table rows to the bottom of the table, whether or not you’re sorting in reverse order.
  • Numbers can be treated numerically, so that 12 sorts after 5.
  • Some pictures in RTF should have been scaled down but were imported as “scale to fit.” Write now recognizes these cases and scales the picture properly.
  • RTF and DOC files that contain Windows Enhanced MetaFiles (EMF—an old picture format) now attempt to convert the picture so it’s usable. It doesn’t always work. If you have an example of one that doesn’t work, please send it to us so we can improve our importer.
  • Reapplying a table style (and also Format→Enforce Style) could cause problems if the table and the style didn’t have the same number of columns.
  • Selecting a whole paragraph and typing should have replaced all but the ¶ at the end, but it deleted that too.

New in Growly Write 2.3.3 (May 20, 2021)

  • Searching for a single character (including ^p) would not work until you had first searched for text that was longer than one character.
  • Edit→Paste & Match Style didn’t work properly when pasting over a word that was formatted differently than the word before.
  • The alternate-character popup that appears when you press and hold a key (such as A) works better:
  • The first time you choose a character from the popup, it replaces the initial character instead of adding it after.
  • Both typing a number and using the arrow keys work to make a selection from the popup.
  • The escape key works properly.
  • The popup works whether or not the standard keyboard shortcuts are on in Preferences.

New in Growly Write 2.3.2 (Mar 16, 2021)

  • The Favorite Colors popup menu (used in several places in the format panel) has some improvements.
  • You can copy and paste colors between shapes or fields.
  • You can see the RGB values for the current color.
  • The popups are now labeled ★ instead︎ of ✔.
  • Certain documents containing unusual fonts (especially DOC files) could not be opened.
  • Choosing a color for table stripes should have turned on the stripes, but it didn’t.
  • In rare cases a document that was just over one page long would cause the preview in File→Print to misbehave.

New in Growly Write 2.3.1 (Feb 17, 2021)

  • A new character code ^d allows you to find dividers. You can’t use the replace feature on them.
  • A new option in the General pane of Preferences causes the spell checker to use just your primary language (the language the Finder uses). If the spell checker isn’t finding any misspelled word, turning this on should fix it.
  • Custom colors for chapter and header banners didn’t work.

New in Growly Write 2.3 (Jan 5, 2021)

  • Support for macOS 11 Big Sur.
  • Write runs natively on Apple Silicon in new Macs.
  • Pasting a lot of pictures (for example from a web page) to a new document is significantly faster.
  • In Page View, scrolling using the page up and down keys didn’t always work.
  • Converting text to table inside a note could crash.
  • When importing an HTML page, images could be imported at ridiculously small sizes. They are now imported at their native size, which may be larger than they appeared on the web page.
  • Smart paste didn’t work properly in one case: double-click a word followed by a space, copy, make an insertion point in front of a space, and paste.
  • Inserting a picture, a variable, or a link at the start of a list entry could temporarily mess up the list numbering.
  • Closing a document without saving changes could occasionally crash.

New in Growly Write 2.2.6 (Aug 19, 2020)

  • Smart-pasting a word after a quote character would add an extraneous space after the quote. Smart paste now uses the same extensive list of ??? that shorthand uses, such as
 < [ ( ‘ “ - —
to know not to insert a space when pasting.
  • Starting on Mac OS 10.15 Catalina, the “Original Folder” button in the Save As dialog didn’t work due to pointless changes in the OS. On 10.15 and later that button no longer appears. For all versions of Mac OS, hold down the option key when you look at the File menu to see “Save As to Original Folder,” which defaults to showing the folder in which the file currently resides.

New in Growly Write 2.2.5 (Jul 6, 2020)

  • Pictures as well as frames now have an opacity setting. Therefore selected pictures are shown differently now: partially translucent on the selection color instead of partially translucent on white.
  • The format panel and the position bubbles on the ruler always showed measurements in points instead of obeying the measurement units you chose.
  • When you opened a password-protected document that displayed the ruler, the ruler was shown as a black bar while Write was waiting for the password.
  • Searching backward in the document could not find text in TOC entries or similar things.
  • The background for pictures was always erased, so images with alpha always had a white background. This was especially bad when the document had a background, so Write doesn’t do that anymore.

New in Growly Write 2.2.4 (May 6, 2020)

  • Hold down the option key when looking at the Insert menu to see Insert→Picture from File and Insert→Frame from File. These commands allow you to select a picture without going through the picture picker.
  • If a chapter name has spaces or tabs at the start, the banner in Draft view no longer shows them.
  • Sometimes a link would be reported in the info popup on the first line of a document even if there were no links there.
  • Closing a document could crash in very rare cases.
  • If the window tab preference specified that all new windows be merged into tabs, and you opened more than one file at a time, some of them became separate windows instead.

New in Growly Write 2.2.3 (Mar 31, 2020)

  • Import Styles (in Format→Manage Styles) didn’t always work properly and could crash.

New in Growly Write 2.2.2 (Feb 7, 2020)

  • Save and Save As were broken on Mac OS 10.15 Catalina. Apple changed the way the magic worked and I didn’t catch it.

New in Growly Write 2.2.1 (Feb 5, 2020)

  • Write has always used a non-standard key assignment for Edit→Paste & Match Style. The standard key assignment (⌥⇧⌘V = option shift command V) is also supported now.
  • If you changed the default font for the document, the properties of the insertion point did not change until you moved the selection.
  • Sometimes when choosing a document from the Favorites menu immediately after starting Write with a document open, the new document would go behind instead of in front.
  • When the selection is an insertion point at the start of a table cell, Find→Jump to Selection would not flash to make the insertion point visible.
  • On systems older than Mac OS 10.10, links caused a crash when they were shown.

New in Growly Write 2.2 (Dec 12, 2019)

  • Dark mode and accent colors are supported. A preference for dark mode (in the Appearance pane) converts black text on white background to the reverse.
  • The app is “notarized,” which means that Mac OS 10.15 Catalina will run it without complaint.
  • Insertion points are drawn better: always 1 or 3 pixels wide (according to your preference) instead of varying with the zoom.
  • When you start Write by dragging a file to the app icon, the file you dragged would appear behind whatever files were open the last time you used Write. Now it’s moved in front.
  • Typing backspace with an insertion point at the very beginning of the document could crash.
  • In the Save dialog on Mac OS 10.15, selecting a different file type from the popup menu didn’t change the file extension.
  • Empty headers that had borders but no text were shown in page view.
  • Undoing a conversion of text to table could crash if the headers pane was open.
  • Under certain conditions scrolling by page in page view didn’t work.
  • When you select a whole row in a table with no borders (or the entire table), the boundaries are shown as a helpful guide. They weren’t always erased when you selected somewhere else afterwards.

New in Growly Write 2.0.5 (Apr 9, 2019)

  • Pasting a table over a table didn’t work properly if the old selection extended past the end of the table. The new rows would be inserted at the start of the old table instead of replacing it.
  • If the Normal table style specified auto-fit columns, new tables started out with ridiculous values for the column widths.

New in Growly Write 2.0.4 (Apr 9, 2019)

  • Dragging emails to Write is now more reliable, especially emails with pictures embedded in them.
  • In page view with two pages across, the page down key didn’t work.
  • All documents that include HTML code could be saved to GBwrite2 format successfully, but some of them could not be reopened.

New in Growly Write 2.0.3 (Apr 9, 2019)

  • A new document property (format panel Doc/Background) suppresses the document background when printing. This allows you to have a background that shows up on screen in page view but doesn’t print.
  • The new Edit→Move in List commands allow you to easily shift entries in a list. There’s also an optional tool for the toolbar that does the same thing.
  • If you merge documents into tabs on Mac OS 10.13 and later, you can have multiple windows with their own tabs and Write will restore the window configuration properly. On 10.12 all the tabs will appear in the same window when Write starts again.
  • Changing a document’s default font in the format panel Doc/Basics didn’t work as well as it should have. It still won’t necessarily change all the text, but everything that matched the old default font will be changed to match the new one.
  • If links, bookmarks, or lists appeared in a note or header pane, there was no information popup for them.

New in Growly Write 2.0.2 (Apr 9, 2019)

  • In Insert→Picture, references (pictures that haven’t been imported to the document) are marked with .
  • GBwrite 2 files didn’t show a preview in File→Open or the Finder.
  • Setting a background picture on a document could cause the wrong picture to be saved for the background.
  • The format panel didn’t display properly on Mac OS 10.14 Mojave.

New in Growly Write 2.0.1 (Aug 31, 2018)

  • You can define text boxes to get more control over how text flows on pages in a chapter.
  • Tables can automatically resize to fit the available space.
  • Write fully supports the window tabs introduced in Mac OS 10.12 Sierra, so you can merge all your documents into one window with tabs like Safari’s. The old tabs for showing different parts of a document are still there, too.
  • You can save documents so they can be read using iBooks on any Apple device.
  • Write now includes its own converter for DOC files, which gives much better fidelity to the original—including many floating and inline pictures, which were often lost using the system converter. You can force Write to use the system converter for DOC if there’s a problem (in the Import/Export pane of Preferences).
  • Also, for those few people who still have files from Mac Word 3 (pre-1989), Write can extract the text (but no formatting) from those files.
  • A new variant of the ruler (the “blue ruler”) makes the ruler easier to use.
  • New border options: left+right, top+bottom, row1+columns (tables only).
  • Many new preferences. The Preferences window has also been reorganized to make it easier to find the options you want.
  • New options in the format panel Doc/Basics allow you to hide bookmark flags and to suppress automatic conversions (useful for technical files).
  • Improvements to notes:
  • When looking at the list of notes in the element list, clicking an entry still shows the note itself, but option-clicking shows the reference instead.
  • Pause the mouse over a note reference (which will look something like this: 1) and a popup window will appear showing the text of the note.
  • It’s now easier to load paragraph properties onto the brush. Hold down the option key and Format→Set Brush from Text becomes Format→Set Brush from Paragraph. Previously it was impossible to load paragraph properties from text in a table.
  • A new command, Write→Check for GrowlyBird News, will automatically check for news on our website (updates or new products) and let you know when new information is available. This makes it easy to watch for changes to your favorite GrowlyBird apps.
  • Many smaller enhancements and bug fixes.

New in Growly Write 1.3.0 (Mar 7, 2018)

  • Improved problem logs for Mac OS 10.12 and later.
  • If a chapter ended in a list or table and you deleted all the text of the chapter, it could end up completely empty (no ¶ between chapter breaks), which was bad.

New in Growly Write 1.2.13 (Feb 5, 2018)

  • More improvements to the visibility of the blinking insertion point.
  • When the zoom value is “Fit Page,” scrolling using the page up and down keys always puts the top of a page at the top of the window.
  • The buttons at the top of the Notes pane banner, for moving between notes, are easier to hit. The most convenient way to move between notes is still the navigation button at the bottom-right of the window.
  • More very old pictures (Quickdraw) can be imported successfully. When Write let Mac OS import them, they were often the wrong size.
  • The Split commands on the Window menu are enabled even if window tabs are on. This makes it easier to switch from tabs to panes. Going the other way still requires you to use the View→​Window Tabs command.
  • It was impossible to enter a useful number in the “extra inside margin” field of the format panel Doc/Layout.
  • Frames and title-row tables did not play nicely together: certain layouts could cause Write to hang.
  • Fixes to obscure crashes.

New in Growly Write 1.2.12 (Feb 5, 2018)

  • The blinking insertion point was almost impossible to see in page view when the document had a dark background color. Now it inverts for that just as it always has when the text, paragraph, or table had a dark background.
  • A new option in the Appearance pane of Preferences makes the blinking insertion point thicker so it’s easier to see.
  • Edit→​Paste and Match Style and Insert→​Picture both preserve the scaling and baseline values when you replace one picture with another. Edit→​Paste uses the default values no matter what you’re pasting over.
  • Double-clicking an entry in Insert→​Picture performs the insert.
  • Double-clicking any list entry in Insert→​Variable performs the insert.
  • The flash when you search or choose View→​Jump to Selection is cleaner and faster.
  • If you click at the start of a paragraph that contains only a TOC entry and then paste plain text, the text used to go in front of the TOC entry. Now it goes within it.
  • Importing emails is improved, especially on Mac OS 10.13 High Sierra.
  • The “Show Invisibles” tool changes appearance when it’s turned on.
  • More very old pictures (Quickdraw) can be imported successfully.
  • Very old RTF files might be opened as plain text instead of being interpreted.
  • Pasting a table from another app or doc could add an extraneous ¶ before the table.
  • Pasting a table over the last ¶ in the document when the paragraph had no other text would crash.
  • The ruler preference for new documents overrode the setting saved in RTF and native documents.

New in Growly Write 1.2.11 (Nov 30, 2017)

  • Word 5 documents with headers and footers are imported more accurately.
  • Starting on 10.11, “Look Up in Dictionary” highlighted the word in the wrong size if the zoom was not 100%. This is a Mac OS bug that was fixed in 10.8 and broken again (by Apple) in 10.11. Write now has a workaround. It will probably break again someday.
  • Write crashed in the latest OS beta. This was a Mac OS bug but Write now has a workaround.
  • Spell checking did not always find spelling errors in notes.
  • Other operations in notes could fail sporadically, for instance inserting a table or a document shorthand entry.
  • Expanding a shorthand entry sometimes left a spurious insertion point on the screen.

New in Growly Write 1.2.10 (Nov 30, 2017)

  • A new preference in the Edit pane controls what happens when you click on a link to a file. Previously clicking the link would show the file; to open the file instead you had to control-click it and choose Open from the context menu. The new preference reverses those two options.
  • Write now does a better job of importing dragged emails.
  • Write now requires Mac OS 10.8 Mountain Lion.
  • Clicking in the vertical ruler scale (to show an alignment line) rounded the position instead of reporting it accurately. The same thing would happen in the horizontal ruler after the first time you dragged something on it.
  • Links could cause text in front of them to not be displayed.
  • Write could crash when deleting table rows in a table that spans pages, when the number of pages decreases due to the delete.
  • The current cell color in the format panel Table/Cell was not always shown correctly.
  • Decimal tabs didn’t line up properly when the paragraph’s left indent was not zero.
  • Undo of a change to a header for chapters after #1 didn’t always work. You’re not guaranteed that the display will show the same chapter’s headers after undo, but the change is now properly undone.
  • The Find dialog didn’t always do the right thing when you inserted a coded special character from the popup menu.
  • Format→Manage Styles promised that it could set any builtin style as the default for all new documents. This worked for all styles except the Normal list, table, and chapter styles. It’s now fixed for those three.

New in Growly Write 1.2.9 (Dec 2, 2016)

  • Ordinal and cardinal numbers (“First” and “One”) are now capitalized when they appear at the start of a line, for instance in list markers and variables.
  • The view state Pages vs. Draft was not saved properly in RTF files; they always opened in Draft view.
  • Selecting whole rows at the end of a table and pasting or inserting a picture would crash.

New in Growly Write 1.2.8 (Aug 12, 2016)

  • Bug fixes.
  • Small enhancements.

New in Growly Write 1.2.7 (Apr 24, 2016)

  • Write can now shrink selections using the arrow keys, just as Notes (and most other Mac apps) can. The option is in the Keyboard section of the General pane of Preferences.
  • New commands on the Format menu increase and decrease paragraph indents by the document’s default tab width.
  • The now obey the capitalization of the name that you type.
  • Selecting by sentence no longer includes line, column, or page break characters in the sentence.
  • The spreadsheet format .csv has been added to the types.
  • Clicking on paragraphs with different numbers of tabs could freeze the document if the format panel Paragraph/Tabs was open.
  • There were problems adding and removing tabs with the ruler in tables when a whole column was selected.

New in Growly Write 1.2.6 (Dec 28, 2015)

  • RTF files now remember the window size and status, and the print settings, for use in Write only.

New in Growly Write 1.2.5 (Oct 30, 2015)

  • The Insert→Date dialog has more options: you can insert the day of the week, choose a two-digit year, and use uppercase for AM and PM.
  • A new option for window size and position in the New Documents pane of Preferences centers new windows at the standard size. This also applies to Window→Resize to Fit.
  • Check for Updates was broken by a change in the host for the GrowlyBird website.
  • In Mac OS X (El Capitan), Write could not paste text copied from some browsers.

New in Growly Write 1.2.4 (Oct 30, 2015)

  • More Quickdraw pictures can be imported successfully.
  • The choice for how to apply a table cell background in the format panel is now remembered throughout a Write session. For example, if you want to change the background of several rows, you don’t have to repeatedly set the “Apply to selected rows” option.
  • A new command, Find→Find Broken Bookmark Link, locates variables that refer to bookmarks that no longer exist, or that were misplaced during a copy and paste.
  • When replacing text, Write has always changed the capitalization of the replacement to match the original if the “Ignore capitalization” option is on and the replacement string is all lowercase. But it should not do that if the replacement text contains punctuation or ^p (paragraph mark).
  • Dashed and thick underlines were not saved properly.
  • The “don’t check spelling” paragraph property could cause spell checking to hang or not scan to the end of the document.
  • The document property “Check spelling as you type” was not interpreted properly from RTF.
  • Dragging an email from Mail to a Write document was broken in 1.2.3.
  • When selecting a paragraph to use as the model for Find→Find Format, if there was anything unusual about the start of the paragraph (such as a TOC entry, the start of a list, etc.) then the text formatting was entered as the search criterion instead of the paragraph formatting.
  • If a file that had been open in the last session was thrown in the Trash, Write would open it from the Trash the next time you started Write.

New in Growly Write 1.2.3 (Jul 13, 2015)

  • Some minor enhancements and bug fixes to both apps.

New in Growly Write 1.2.2 (May 12, 2015)

  • It’s now easier to turn off bold and italic, which would sometimes stick when you didn’t want them to.
  • Comments from Word RTF are imported as notes.
  • A new option to ignore font leading on text, which prevents symbols from messing up your line spacing.
  • And lots of other improvements and bug fixes. See the help file for details.

New in Growly Write 1.2.1 (Jan 26, 2015)

  • Can now open Word 4 and 5 files and pictures from System 9 (pre-OS X). There are several other improvements and bug fixes.

New in Growly Write 1.2.0 (Nov 29, 2014)

  • Bug fixes.

New in Growly Write 1.1.5 (Sep 5, 2014)

  • Many people have requested a continuous word count. There’s now a preference for it, as well as improvements to the counting algorithm.
  • You can search for checkboxes.
  • You can set a background color (for display only) in the draft view.
  • The element list shows images for frames.

New in Growly Write 1.1.4 (Jul 5, 2014)

  • Write has the same fix for copying from web pages as Notes.
  • A new preference makes all new untitled windows use the same size and position as the last one you created.
  • You can jump to a bookmark by double-clicking a variable that refers to it.

New in Growly Write 1.1.0 (Nov 15, 2013)

  • At last there’s a simple way to change the default font for the document.
  • Creating checkbox lists is simpler.
  • The maximum number of table columns and tab stops has increased from 20 to 25.
  • Tables can be striped (alternate rows).
  • There’s now an easy way to fill a whole table column with checkboxes.
  • Several important bug fixes, including some updates for 10.9 Mavericks.

New in Growly Write 1.0.11 (Jul 17, 2013)

  • Write now fully supports Retina displays, and is our first app to be code signed (it will be recognized as coming from an “identified developer” on 10.8 Lion). This release also includes several enhancements and bug fixes.

New in Growly Write 1.0.10 (May 25, 2013)

  • Another batch of small improvements and bug fixes for Write.

New in Growly Write 1.0.9 (Apr 22, 2013)

  • Write has a handful of small improvements, which include:
