DramaQueen 1.2 – Update-Report
Automatic character detection and bug fixes:
- New: Automatic character detection (for PLUS
and PRO)! All speaking characters and all character names in ALL-CAPS
automatically appear in the characters list. The character’s gender
and possibly the age are also pre-configured in the Characters
panel. - New: Automatic character assignment (for PLUS
and PRO)! All mentions of character names are detected. Therefore, the
Outline column for appearing characters is always up to date. - New: Sorting of characters (for PLUS
and PRO). The Characters panel is now sorted by
frequency of occurrence. The Outline panel contains additional sorting
options for the appearing characters column in the gear menu. - New: Global renaming of characters (for PLUS
and PRO). When a character is renamed in the Characters panel,
the name is replaced in all text levels and panels. A new dialog
informs about occurrences of the old and possibly the new name and
offers the option to replace additional mutations of the name, such as
genitive or nick names. - Important: The prompt before installing this
software update to close all open documents must be ignored. Following
the advice will quit DramaQueen without installing the update. The bug
is fixed by this update, but the fix will take effect only for the
next one. (A prompt to save documents will appear even when not
closing windows.) - A problem has been fixed, where DramaQueen documents have been
saved with invalid control characters in the text, which may have got
there through the import or by pasting from the clip board. Already
defective files can be loaded again with this update. - Even better detection of scene headings by the Smart Import of
scripts. Additional handling of “vertical tabs” (line breaks within
paragraphs, used in Word documents). Much improved import of these
documents. - More intuitive Undo / Redo when renaming elements and when editing
Outlines. - Fixed annoying flicker of the scene headings while
typing (affected only Windows version). - No unneccessary moving of the text caret after switching from the
script to the synopsis and back. - The software update installer no longer opens behind other windows
on Windows. (When the blinking symbol in the task bar
was overlooked, it would still be the old version at the next start of
DramaQueen.) - When the text caret was placed on a speaking character,
parenthetical, or scene transition paragraph, it was influencing
typing in the synopsis or treatment. - Typographically correct quotation marks, can be deactivated in the
Texts panel gear menu. - Automatic fix of a certain possible defect while loading DramaQueen
documents. - Export option “Final Draft” in file dialog also via File -> Export text -> Script.
- DramaQueen was freezing up showing documents, where a character
with an empty name had somehow ended up in the characters list. - On Windows XP and Windows 7 with deactivated Aero-interface,
closed document windows were not removed from the screen. When quitting
DramaQueen, this looked as if DramaQueen had frozen. - Fixed crash that could occur when editing names in the characters
list. - The software could no longer reach the license server under a
certain address. Unlocking or validating an already entered license
could fail. - More errors in the context of failed unlocking attempts have been
fixed. - In some cases, opening the Characters panel could lead to a
crash.
