We’ve had a great response to [Highland][2], our plain-text screenwriting app, with lots of five star ratings that make us blush. We’re working on new features, but first we’re squashing some bugs.
Here’s what’s [new in 1.01][3]:
– When you save (or autosave), Highland remembers where your cursor was. Because that’s How It Should Be.
– Highland retains newlines upon Save. So if you like to use a lot of blank lines for some reason, go right ahead. It’s your script.
– Drag-and-dropping text within the editing window is so much better now. Try it!
– When you import a PDF or FDX file, we treat it like a new Fountain file — which it basically is. The first time you save it, you’ll give it a name.
– Fixed a bug that caused an occasional crash during Save.
– Fixed Export menu command.
– Updated welcome screen text.
– There was some stray Fountain markup (====) in FDX export. Whoops. Fixed.
– In Dark Mode, we’ve made the scroll bar easier to spot. ((Did you know you can change the colors in Dark Mode in the Preferences panel? Nima was like, “But what if someone picks terrible colors, like pink-on-red?” And I said, “What are you, the Color Police?” Then he showed me his badge.))
If you haven’t tried out Highland, there’s a [demo available][2]. (Mac App Store rules won’t let us mention it in the product description.)
Keep sending your report cards and comments. That’s how Highland improves. And I’ll admit it: stars are nice, so if you’re enjoying Highland and feel like telling folks, leave us a review.
