DramaQueen 1.4 – Update-Report

This update contains several new features and improvements and
fixes bugs:

• Spelling, grammar and style checking is available
  for English and German. When installing this update, the desired
  language plug-ins need to be checked. The gear-menu of the Texts
  panel contains a new sub-menu Spelling and style aid
  with further options. For example, spell-checking dialogs can be
  disabled entirely. Clicking a highlighted word with the secondary
  mouse button opens a context menu with more options (lern spelling,
  suggestions).
• Smart-type function: When typing the names of
  speaking characters in the script, there is now an auto-completion
  popup.
  When no letter
  has been typed yet, all characters are offered, while the second most
  recently speaking character is the first choice if applicable.
  Entering a character
  name switches directly to the dialog paragraph type now. (Parenthetical
  is reached either by TAB or another ENTER. When the paragraph-style
  popup opens, the keyboard focus now remains in the Texts panel.)
• The language in which the document is written can
  now be configured in the new Document settings (in the
  File menu). This setting affects the scene headings, generating the
  title page and the spell checking.
• The same window also allows to pick from a limited
  number of included type-faces.
• It is now possible to make each step or scene start on a new
  page from the gear menu of the Texts panel.
• All open documents are automatically and continually saved
  in separate backups. Should DramaQueen not have been closed
  normally in any way, these backups will be offered for opening on the
  next start.
• There are now more options for the time of day in the scene headings
  of a script: MORNING, NOON, AFTERNOON and EVENING. That makes it
  possible to use these settings in order to define the chronological
  order of the scenes in more detail.
• The term plotline has been exchanged for
  storyline, since the latter carries more general meaning:
  Besides the classical strands of a story (A-, B-, and C-plotline) it is
  possible to develop each character relation as a separate storyline in
  DramaQueen.
• The full-screen mode of the Texts panel has a dark, more comfortable
  background now.
• It is also possible to configure the maximum zoom
  factor for the Texts panel (in the toolbar). In case there is less
  space available than the maximum zoom would afford (because there are
  several panels open at the same time) the zoom of the Texts panel
  adjusts automatically to the given width.
• Copying scenes between documents (via the Texts panel) now also
  transfers used characters, locations and storylines into the target
  document, unless they already exist there.
• The annoying mouse hints have been removed for the self-explaining
  input fields of the Characters-, Locations-, Ideas-, and Storylines
  panel.
• An open synopsis text level will no longer switch into the treatment
  when a new scene is created, unless it has keyboard focus or there is no
  Outline panel open for the new scene to become visible.
• The characters, ideas, locations and storylines list no longer
  jump up when they are scrolled down and clicking an element.
• A graphical glitch has been fixed that could occur at the page
  bottom.
• On Windows, a file had to be selected twice directly after program
  start when using “Open” from the start panel.
• The built-in help of the Texts panel for a specific text level was
  appearing after each start, unless the built-in help had been closed
  once for every other text level.
• A specific class of crahses, which could happen during typing, have
  been eliminated. This also resulted in a slight performance increase.
• Some irritations with the paragraph style popup have been fixed,
  for example pasting while the popup is open.
• Wrong line breaks before typographical quotation marks have been
  fixed. These are automatically corrected in existing documents.
• When exporting character descriptions, the wrong hero-type option
  had been reported.
• On some computers, the new spell checking could cause delays while
  typing.
• Activating or deactivating the spelling and style-checking has been
  simplified.
• The maximum zoom level of the text can now be directly configured
  from the tool bar (the magnifying glass icon). (The automatic zoom
  provides the optimal text size according to how many other panels are
  open concurrently.)
• Applying a suggestion from the spell checking menu directly at the
  end of steps or scenes no longer crashes.
• Entering or editing locations in the scene headings had a number of
  problems. The cursor behavior is correct again and also navigating the
  drop-down via the arrow-keys works again as intended.
• When copying scenes in the Texts panel via the clipboard between
  documents, all scene heading entries are now correctly transferred. Also
  all characters, locations and storylines will be copied in to the target
  document. If the source and target document share the same origin,
  already existing characters, locations and storylines will be assigned
  accordingly.
• Copying steps and scenes via Drag&Drop between the Outline
  panels of different documents also transfers characters, locations, and
  storylines, if they don’t already exist in the target document. (Copy
  and paste in the Outline panel however still needs to be extended for
  this functionality.)
• Bug fixes seen from automatic crash-logs.
