      2. Full size copies of image attachments are included on separate pages
      3. Everything is hyperlinked
    2. Improved dictation integration
      1. option to disable in in Settings App
      2. delete superfluous topic at end
      3. realign the map afterwards
      4. Dictate a comma delimited list and iThoughts will turn each item into a sibling topic
        1. This can be disabled in the iThoughts section of the Settings App
    3. 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.
    4. Only prompt once for resolution when connected to a projector
    5. disable triple delete by default
      1. this interferes with Chinese character input - to re enable set 'Disable Triple DELETE' in the iThoughts section of the iPad Settings App to OFF
    6. Reset map formatting option
      1. 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.
    7. Transparent canvas option
      1. Good for pasting into Keynote/PowerPoint slides
