New Features

- 64-bit Support: Storyist now runs in 64-bit mode on Snow Leopard.
- New Automator Actions: New actions, available from the Edit > Tools menu, convert paragraphs with leading tabs to first-line indents and back.
Streamlined Exporter
- The File > Export submenus have been condensed to a single menu item.
- You can now save export settings as presets for later use.
- The Export dialog now has Select All and Clear None buttons.
- The text and images exporter now has a button to open the current workflow in Automator.
- The text and images exporter now has a button to open the Workflows folder in Finder.
- You can now have Storyist create subfolders to match the project hierarchy when exporting multiple files.
- There is now an "Apply to All" option for replacing files during a file export. (Leopard or later).
Enhancements and Bug Fixes
- You can now drag images to Polariods to assign photos to project items.
- The Stage Play script template is now available from the Project menu.
- Fixed certain cases where Storyist couldn't open files without extensions.
- You can now drag an external file to an empty corkboard. Previously, there needed to be at least one item on the corkboard to import by dragging.
- Switching in and out of full-screen mode while in "Fit to Page" mode no longer causes some previously visited project items to be improperly centered.
- Placards are no longer drawn in the upper left corner of the screen in full-screen mode in certain circumstances.
- Storyist no longer crashes when saving after adding images to a project who's filename contains a quotation mark.
- Storyist no longer takes an exception when importing an HTML file with broken image links. Previously, the import would fail. Now, it succeeds.
- Fixed a case where pages were drawn incompletely on Snow Leopard.
- Fixed a bug that occurred if the project filename contained a question mark.
- The style editor dialog is sized better for 13" MacBooks.
Thanks to all the beta testers for putting it though its paces.
