Save As stops losing your work ๐พ
This release is mostly about Save As doing what it says, and about the Find box finally being clickable.
Save As, fixed ๐พ
Manual save stopped working after Save As. Once you'd done File โ Save As on a Word document, โS and File โ Save silently did nothing โ no error, no change on disk โ and everything typed afterwards was lost unless you happened to click another tab and come back. Save now follows the document to its new name and keeps working.
Save As on a PDF dropped your highlights. Highlight or annotate a PDF, Save As, and the copy came back clean. The saved copy now contains exactly what's on screen, in both PDF viewers.
Nothing lost on quit
Following on from last release's quit-time save:
-
A workspace you never saved (the "Untitled workspace" case) is now written on quit, so it's under Recent when you come back.
-
Anything you type while the quit save is running no longer disappears โ you get the usual prompt.
-
Save & Close no longer closes the app if the Save As dialog was cancelled or the save failed; the prompt stays up.
-
Pressing โQ twice in a row no longer creates a duplicate workspace.
Find actually works ๐
โF in a Word document used to open the Find box underneath the floating toolbar, where you couldn't click it. It now sits above the toolbar. While we were there:
-
โF puts the cursor back in the Find box when the box is already open and you've clicked into the document.
-
The Settings, account, workspace and tab + menus open on top of the Find box instead of behind it.
-
Pressing Escape no longer closes a Find box left open on a different tab.
Website tabs stay put ๐
-
Research tabs now survive closing your last document and quitting Donna. If you keep Donna open purely to house logged-in browser tabs, they'll be there when you come back.
-
Open Website always opens a new tab, so you can have two Google tabs side by side โ and both come back after a restart. Bookmarks and links still reuse an existing tab.
-
Websites now appear in the Project tree, where you can drag and group them alongside your documents.
Home and navigation
-
Deleting a workspace now asks first. The trash icon on Recent Workspaces used to delete immediately on click.
-
The Donna mark is back in the title bar, on every screen, as a one-click way Home.
-
Recent Workspaces can be switched between the list view and the widget view.
-
Back returns you to the workspace you just left, instead of jumping to Home when that workspace hadn't been saved yet.
Smoother typing โจ๏ธ
Long documents used to lag slightly while typing, because the status-bar word count recounted the whole document on every keystroke. It now updates about a second after you stop.
Also fixed ๐
-
Narrowing the floating toolbar no longer pushes the FormatโReferences row off the side of the page; it shrinks and scrolls, and you can mouse-wheel along it.
-
The document sidebar grows and shrinks as you add and remove documents.
-
Floating tab pills no longer overlap the top of the page when the ruler is turned off.
-
On Mac, Word files and PDFs now have their own Finder icons โ blue for Word, red for PDF โ instead of looking identical.
