Thouggle 1.3.2 on the way

Thouggle 1.3.2 has just been delivered to the review process of Apple. It’s expected to be available in the Mac App Store mid of May.
It’s a bug fixing release.
Release 1.3.2 is mainly a bug fixing release with improvements in performance and usability. The data store is migrated (new format for file locations) at the first start of the Release 1.3.2., which will take some time, if the data store has a lot of entries.

--- NEW FEATURES ---

1. The metadata system (Thoughts, ratings, notes of a file) is self-repairing meaning that unintended metadata lost on the file system is repaired with the entries in the data store. Unintended metadata lost can occur, when files are edited with other applications (e.g. Adobe applications delete all metadata on a file before the application writes its own metadata to the file).

2. Documents can now also be removed (unlinked) from a Thought in preview mode. The update of the view with the remaining documents is handled correctly as well as the selection.

3. Packaged file types and applications can be imported and linked to Thoughts.

4. The file import (via sidebar and/or drag and drop) has been limited to linkable files only. The user needs read/write access on files, that can be linked to Thoughts, therefore only files with these access rights are imported.


--- BUG FIXING AND IMPROVEMENTS ---

  • Bug fixed, that in some cases delivers to many files when a search for all linked files of a Thought is performed. The data store is migrated to new file location format at the first start of Release 1.3.2.
  • Import performance drastically improved. Even very large libraries or folders can be imported now in a very reasonable time.
  • SmartThoughts without a search definition return no documents anymore (until now those SmartThoughts returned all documents).
  • Documents filter improved and enhanced.
  • The selection is updated correctly after removing documents from a Thought.
  • Data store cleanup improved. Thoughts without any linked document are removed when application is closed.
  • Some data store requests have been accelerated.

And lots more...
