Mellel 2.1.1: localisations, paste special, zoom, more
Hi to all,
Mellel 2.1.1 is here, with some new features and especially localisations.
New features:
• Localised versions: This version supports 12 language versions, in addition to the English: Czech, Dutch, Esperanto, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish.
• Paste Special: Paste options for paste as plain text, character attributes, paragraph attributes, and list attributes.
• Speedier Open and Save: Mellel will now open and save files much faster, especially with files containing many tables. File size was also reduced in the process.
• More zoom levels: There are now 21 zoom levels.
• Copy and Paste options: Added as sub-menus in the contextual menu.
• Bug fix full screen: Fixed a problem with document window filling the whole screen when opened, after being saved in full screen mode.
• Bug fix, spelling: Fixed a problem that caused "Spell as you type" to cease working sometimes with new documents.
• XML, improved: Added "encoding="UTF-8" to the XML declaration at the beginning of the file.
• Bug fix: Fixed a problem that caused "Rendering Document" panel to appear and get stuck on screen when performing undo after replace all.
• Bug fix: Fixed a problem that caused the font menu to appear empty after a replace that changes a font face to a face that is not supported by the current font.

Wonderful! Thanks!redlers wrote:• Paste Special: Paste options for paste as plain text, character attributes, paragraph attributes, and list attributes.
One thing to quibble about though: Could you set a default keyboard shortcut for copy and paste plain text (apple+alt+c or v) – I tried to set a shortcut using OS X’s System Preferences Keyboard section, however, I can only create a shortcut for copy plain text, since both the copy plain text and the paste plain text menu entries are called "Plain Text". Thus I can not differentiate between the two and OS X defaults to using the first one (i.e. copy plain text) which is the one I need much less…
Nonetheless: wonderfully quick release that offers some very nice presents for all of us. Thanks!

preferences reset?
I got my preferences reset to the default behavior with the new 2.1.1 release (toolbar+ruler+empty window upon launch). I noticed the same with the 2.1 release. Does it have to do with my installation or with the way Mellel is released?
Nice release anyway.

Paste / Copy Plain Text
Hi,
there seems to be some things still to be done in the Paste / Copy Plain Text functions. I mean, the names of each are not differing, both were "Plain Text" as far as i can remember.
I changed the names via Apple's Dev. Tools' "Interface Builder", however, there were also some inconsistencies in the Localizations.strings-file. After a few steps fixing them in English.lproj (and im my case German.lproj) it worked. Still, in the German "Edit" menu, there is still an English item (forgot which it was & too lazy to fix that). Also, some popup-messages are still in English.
Prost!

Re: zoom levels
Alas, the zoom level I had been hoping for, is not there - 140% - Times New Roman 12 on my iBook 14 inch looks too small in 128% and too large in 150% - what is there against allowing users to specify their own percentages, like in Word?
And I miss two zoom levels that would be convenient to anybody, no matter what kind of Mac he / she is using: "window width" and "whole page".
Excellent is the implementation of the zoom feature in Papyrus, where one can choose any level one desires.
And I hope that one day we'll have a 'facing pages' option in Mellel too …

localisations
I'd love to, my hard disc space being at a premium just now. How do I do it?
