New user interface - 29/05/2017 11:50

(From September 2017)

The typist mode allows you to work by focusing specifically on the text of your book. It is in the form of a single window occupying the entire screen and replacing the normal window of the application.
 
This presentation consists of:

  • at the top, a mini toolbar to navigate the scenes (scene list, first scene, previous scene, next scene, last scene), a button to ignore the changes in progress and return to the initial state, To return to normal mode.
  • the central part is divided into two parts, in the proportions 6/7 on the left with the text editor for the input and 1/7 on the right, summarizing the components linked to the scene (characters, locations, objects) and the notes.
  • at the bottom, a statistical summary of the size of the scene text (green if the maximum size is not reached, red if it is reached or exceeded).

The objective of this presentation is to allow you to focus on the text of the scene without having to click on various elements.


You can modify the list of characters, locations or objects by using the corresponding buttons. You can also edit any notes. On the other hand, to change the link to another chapter, or other information, you will have to return to the normal display of the application.

As with any other display you have a button to create a new idea.

For the text editor part, you will find the traditional formatting toolbar, but you will not have the possibility to customize the HTML code. Indeed, the objective being to focus on the text the presence of the usual tab HTML would be only a diversion.

This new interface will enter the test phase at the beginning of June 2017 and will be available with the September 2017 version.
