In this build, you can now have a separate cover image and scene separator image for each story. The checkboxes for those items were removed from the image property panels, and I added selection dropdowns to the Story panel. I fixed some other bugs along the way.
This build does update the file format slightly, and will create a
Ok, it turns out that a couple people had changed the type of their story from Story to something else prior to updating their version of StoryBox to 1.4.113 or 1.4.114. Unfortunately, this caused a problem with the whole multiple story mechanism as there weren’t any stories at all to count.
So, this build fixes that issue. If you have accidentally (or on purpose) changed your story to some other document type, this build will let you change it back and will create the proper items in the file. DO NOT use 1.4.113 or 1.4.114 to do this as they won’t create the story information correctly. If you have already tried to do this in those versions, you’ll have to create a new story from the menu and move all of your documents from the old story into it.
You can also send the project to me and I can fix it for you.
This build is mostly about performance improvements while writing/editing. Most will be obviously noticeable only with larger documents or slower computers.
This latest version of StoryBox has a huge number of fixes, improvements and features included. The biggest feature/change is “real” support for multiple stories in the same project. Before, you could create additional stories, but you couldn’t keep track of their word counts separately, and exporting the one you wanted was confusing. Now, you can track wordcounts separately for each story as well as continue to view the overall word count of the project. When you use the File->Export menu, you now get a list of all the stories to select from.

So, today is the last day to get Shattered free with the purchase of StoryBox or TrackerBox. After that, well, you’ll just have to buy it separately. 🙂
Fixes some memory leaks and adds a project wide view of your tags. Not a whole lot of changes, but a lot of effort put in. The memory leak issues should really help improve performance for those with limited memory systems.
