VoodooPad Lite Changelog

What's new in VoodooPad Lite 4.3.6 Build 3655

May 3, 2012
  • Added a news window for notification of future updates. This release is only for direct customers.

New in VoodooPad Lite 4.3.5 Build 3200 (Jul 30, 2011)

  • Fixed a bug where VoodooPad wouldn't run on 10.5 ppc machines.

New in VoodooPad Lite 4.3.2 Build 2954 (Feb 5, 2011)

  • Fixed a problem where certain pages with custom links in them would not write out correct XML when syncing.
  • Fixed a problem where search indexes were not updating correctly all the time.
  • Fixed a crasher when opening up certain pages that had page anchors set in them.
  • VoodooPad is now code signed by a certificate from Apple.
  • Fixed a bug where an imported plain text document couldn't be converted to rich text.
  • Change: Previously if you duplicated a VoodooPad document from the Finder, VoodooPad would give it a new unique id (used internally) which was used by the spotlight index. This caused serious issues with syncing however (which also used this unique id) when you copied or had two local documents which pointed to the same sync data. We've now changed the behavior so VoodooPad will not change the unique id of the document when it finds another local copy, unless you use the following hidden pref: defaults write com.flyingmeat.VoodooPad ensureUUIDIsUnique 1
  • Fixed a problem where encrypted pages were corrupted when using the File ▸ Export Document ▸ Split Document… menu item.

New in VoodooPad Lite 4.3.1 Build 2688 (Oct 22, 2010)

  • Fixed a crasher when sycing with certain WebDAV servers.
  • Fixed some problems where links to PDFs and aliases would not work when exporting to the iPhone / VPReader.
  • VoodooPad's import will now turn Microsoft .docx files into editable pages.
  • The entries for the Edit â–¸ Insert menu no longer have the file extensions from your Clippings folder.
  • VoodooPad's custom font panel can now be used to set various styles in the "New Page Text" box of the Preferences window.
  • Fixed a problem where an unwanted page anchor icon would show up when you tried to print a page.

New in VoodooPad Lite 4.3 Build 2630 (Sep 28, 2010)

  • Fixed a bug that caused a folder to be created instead of a VoodooPad document when splitting pages into a new document.
  • WikiWords will no longer appear as dead links in an exported web app.
  • Errors that occur during automatic syncing will no longer cause a window to popup. The error message will appear in the task list in the Palette. An window will popup if an error occurs during a manual sync.
  • Reworded the warning you get when deleting sync data to make it clearer that the action can not be undone.
  • You can now use a hidden pref to suppress the install of certain plugins. For instance, if you didn't want the Python plugin to install, you would use this default: defaults write com.flyingmeat.VoodooPad pluginskip-PythonPluginEnabler 1
  • If you've got a NewPageTemplate in a document with meta values set for it, new pages will also get the default meta values (Issue #12122).
  • Fixed a bug where sometimes you lost the selection when shifting text left or right, and the text had bullet points at the front (Issue #10703).
  • When exporting your document as a mobile web app, it'll now include a .htacess file which tells the web server to use text/cache-manifest for .manifest files.
  • Performing "Copy link to page anchor" will now place the entire anchor name onto the clipboard unless a smaller portion of the anchor is selected.
  • Pages that have been edited and synced from the iPad will be plain text and appear in the font used in the user's preferences.
  • Added better protections against multiple users syncing to the same server file at exactly the same time.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause a crash if a network error occurs while syncing. A couple of users have observed this as a crash that occurs when waking from sleep.
  • Added better checking to prevent a document from being given an invalid name.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause a crash if a VoodooPad document is moved to the trash while being indexed.
  • A sync conflict with the default page will no longer cause version named "Sync Conflict #" to become the default page.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when syncing a document that contained a renamed page.
  • Prevent an index page from being created when syncing a document that doesn't have a page named 'Index'.
  • More accurately report a rejected username/password when that was the cause for failing to communicate with a WebDAV server.
  • Fixed a few small memory leaks.
  • Added the ability to keep VP from marking up text between the chars %- and -% when performing a Web Export.
  • When making a custom url link, dragging and dropping a local file into the sheet that shows up will automatically make a file:// link for you.
  • If a password changes durning a sync session, VoodooPad now displays an error letting you know this instead of silently failing.
  • The web export window now remembers the last settings you had, even if you don't create a preset.
  • The shortcut for Web Export has dropped the shift key, so it's now cmd-control-w which is easier to type.
  • How syncing works has changed quite a bit in this version, so that it works with the upcoming iPad version of VoodooPad. If you run into problems, let me know ASAP!
  • Fixed a problem where pages weren't always saved correctly when edited in the search window.
  • Fixed an instance where page anchors were not always opened up correctly.
  • Fixed a bug where orphaned page aliases were still being linked up (to nonexistent pages. It's confusing).
  • Turned off using any Core Animation, since it seems to be causing problems with people's graphics card. If you're still getting system freezes when running VoodooPad- let me know right away!
  • Fixed a bug where VP was crashing when there was a text attachment with a bad image.
  • Page anchors! Select some text, choose the Format ▸ Page Anchor menu item to create an anchor on the text. Use the little clipboard icon to copy a link to the anchor, or after your anchor is made, control-click on it to get an option to copy a link to it.
  • Fixed a problem where a dialog box would sometimes come up when searching.
  • New: Export a document as a "Mobile Web App" (under File ▸ Export Document). When you export a document as a Mobile Web App, it creates HTML files along with a manifest page which you can upload to a server. When Mobile Safari (on the iPhone or the iPad presumably) encounters this, you can save the website as a self contained app. Just choose the + button, and then "Add to Home Screen". The resulting app will also consult with the server for updates when launched. In a sense, this makes VoodooPad a little publishing engine for the iPhone, iPad, and other mobile devices which use this HTML 5 feature. For this to work properly, your server needs to set the mime type of the .manifest file to text/cache-manifest. You can check your server by using curl with the -I option from Terminal:
  • curl -I http://gusmueller.com/trash/pp/app.manifest
  • ...
  • Content-Type: text/cache-manifest
  • If you have feedback or ideas for this, please let us know.
  • CMD-(shift)-) and ( now zoom the text in WebView archive pages.
  • Little bug fixes for the New Synchronized Document setup stuff.
  • Fixed a bug where you could accidentally add an alias to a page that was empty.
  • Fixed a bug where you couldn't select multiple lines in a list, and use the Shift Left command (it would only shift left the first line).
  • Fixed an issue where the website created on webdav export would add links to the same page, which was kind of pointless. A full sync is required for pages to be recreated properly.
  • New "New Synchronized Document…" under the File menu, which makes it easier to make a document from scratch, which syncs with a document which is already in the cloud.
  • Fixed a crashing bug when exporting your document to the iPhone.
  • You can now drag and drop tabs between different tab bars (in different windows), which are in the same document.
  • Updated startup window. You can now drag + drop documents on it to open them.
  • New hidden pref which enables the Send To plugin to load back in pages when they are edited: defaults write com.flyingmeat.VoodooPad sendToUpdateFiles 1
  • New text editing options for folks on 10.6 and later: Enable data detectors, automatic text replacement (editable in Sys Prefs ▸ Language and Text), and Automatic spelling correction.
  • Fixed a bug where you couldn't view recent Acorn images.
  • You can now use the up/down arrows in the type palette fields to change the values in it. Math also works in there.
  • The hover preview (when you have command-control down) for links got a slightly updated look.
  • VoodooPad will now recursively import directories, but only up to 5 levels deep.
  • Fixed a bug where exporting an iPhone website with the webdav sync + a page name with a / in it wouldn't work.
  • Superfast Markdown processing by using discount.
  • A browser bookmarklet can now target a specific page for appending text, by using pageUUID=the page uuid here in the query string of the voodoopad: bookmarklet.
  • Removed the "Embed Files" menu item. Import files will just do it's best to do everything that it did.

New in VoodooPad Lite 4.3 Alpha 1 Build 2367 (Jun 14, 2010)

New in VoodooPad Lite 4.2.3 Build 2152 (Jan 3, 2010)

  • Made it possible for bookmarklet type urls to work when created via a custom url (under the Edit menu, and deletable / editable in the document info palette).
  • Updated the JSTalk plugin, and you can now do jstalk: and javascript: bookmarklet type links.

  • Fixed a bug where VP woudln't let you delete an encrypted page.
  • Fixed a bug where VP would mess up an encrypted page if you used the Bucket to append text to it.
  • Fixed a problem where you couldn't change a document password in VoodooPad.
  • If a URL ends with a '.' or ',', it is no longer included in the link. While ending with a '.' or ',' is a valid url, it is much more common to have a URL at the end of a sentence or next to a comma, then to have a URL which ends with a '.' or ','.
  • Trying out a switch to the LLVM/Clang compiler.
  • Return of the Text Styles palette (just for Mike!).
  • VoodooPad will no longer override custom links.
  • For example- let's say you have a page named "iPhoto", and you want to link the phrase "Using Acorn with iPhoto" to the iPhoto page. Previously VP wouldn't let you do this, since the word iPhoto appeared in the phrase. This type of custom link now works in 4.2.3.

New in VoodooPad Lite 4.2.3 Beta 1 Build 2113 (Sep 30, 2009)

  • Fixed a bug where VP would allow you to change the formatting of an encrypted page to plain text.

  • Fixed a problem where the web server wasn't working properly in VoodooPad.
  • Fixed a bug where pages would remain listed in the tags list, even after they were deleted.
  • When you search for something in VP, it now puts the search term on the search pasteboard, so cmd-g works to "find again" in your search results.
  • When doing a Web Export via AppleScript, VoodooPad now closes the export window after it's finished writing all files.

New in VoodooPad Lite 4.2.1 Build 2086 (Sep 9, 2009)

  • Quick bug fix for image attachments.

New in VoodooPad Lite 4.2 Beta 1 Build 2079 (Sep 3, 2009)

  • The feedback reporter no longer post's to Acorn's feedback scripts. This had me really confused.
  • Encrypted documents are now synced via WebDAV. Please test this if you get a chance.
  • VoodooPad now proactivly goes out and looks for documents to add to it's Item Lookup database, so that your x-voodoopad-item:// url's will always be up to date.
  • Fixed a bug where VP would get confused if you had the same page open up in two tabs, and then converted one of them to plain text.
  • Added $document$ and $documentNoExt$ as placehoders for the NewPageTemplate.
  • Workaround for a 10.6 bug where pasted images with the same name would be swapped around in the page.
  • JSTalk support is now included.
  • Fixed a bug where create and modified dates were showing up as null for aliases.
  • Little updates to the feedback reporter to hopefully make it a little more reliable.
  • Fixed a bug where you could move text to an encrypted page, making it go bad. Also made the same fix for performing the prepend and append operations from AppleScript.
  • Fixed a problem where the single page export sheet wouldn't update the filename extension when you changed the file type on 10.6. I was using a private API that has since gone away, BAD GUS NO COOKIE.
  • If you add a meta key of "VPDirectWriteOnHTMLExport", with a value of "1" to a page, it won't be converted to HTML on web export. This is nice in case you've got all your documentation in VoodooPad, and want to include a python script as a demo, yet want it written out as plain text.
  • Bug fixes when import VoodooPad XML files.
  • Syncing fixes, when VoodooPad could not find a date for the Lock folder on the WebDAV server.

  • Fixed a bug where VP would crash when syncing, or exporting as html, a page with some really weird attachments.
  • The method "dataAsAttributedString" on VPData in the the plugin api now returns nil when the page type is not text. You could check to see if it was a page by first checking it's uti (if page.uti() == 'com.fm.page'), but this wasn't always done by script authors, and if you didn't check then sometimes VP woudl crash depending on the page type.

  • Now showing a warning when unable to sync with a WebDAV server because the server can not retrieve file modification times.
  • When importing a directory of files, VoodooPad now looks at the file's UTI to find out if it should be imported as text or not. VP also looks at the UTI when embedding files as well.
  • Fixed a bug where double clicking on an embedded PSD file would not open.
  • Added a new option to the Advanced tab of the Synchronization Setup sheet, which allows you to delete the document's server data. The data will be pushed back up on the next sync however, so if you want the document to stop syncing, make sure to turn it off in the Sync tab.

  • "Export to iPhone" now gets the keyboard shortcut CMD-Shift-E.
  • Reworked some code to fix crashes when syncing.

New in VoodooPad Lite 4.0.3 Build 1948 (Dec 9, 2008)

  • Fixed a database deadlock when syncing.

  • Changed "show links" to "show page links" in the page info palette, which more accurately describes what it does.
  • The "word count in page" plugin now reports characters instead of "letters", since it counts spaces as well as non-spaces.
  • When the toolbar was in text only mode, or the search button was pushed off into the toolbar overflow menu, VP's search button wouldn't work right. That's fixed now.
