Tweaks
-
Much improved PDF export
- Topic notes are now included on separate pages
- Full size copies of image attachments are included on separate pages
- Everything is hyperlinked
-
Improved dictation integration
- option to disable in in Settings App
- delete superfluous topic at end
- realign the map afterwards
-
Dictate a comma delimited list and iThoughts will turn each item into a sibling topic
- This can be disabled in the iThoughts section of the Settings App
- Send Link To iThoughts from Safari now places the topic with the link on the clipboard rather than creating the topic in the Links map.
- Only prompt once for resolution when connected to a projector
-
disable triple delete by default
- this interferes with Chinese character input - to re enable set 'Disable Triple DELETE' in the iThoughts section of the iPad Settings App to OFF
-
Reset map formatting option
- When importing from a desktop format the topic attributes (colour, font size etc.) are not always suitable for tablet viewing - this option will strip out all the specific formatting in one go.
-
Transparent canvas option
- Good for pasting into Keynote/PowerPoint slides
