The Time Scroller is a new control which hovers at the bottom of your
timeline and provides buttons to scroll horizontally (forward and backward in
time) by different amounts.
You can still navigate your timeline just as before, with regular trackpad
scrolling gestures and arrow keys, and if you want to hide the Time Scroller,
just use the View menu (or right-click on it and press Hide).
New section features
TimeStory has always let you divide your document into sections. Starting in
version 1.2:
- You can now completely hide a section, removing its title and contents from
the document. This is great for maintaining a detailed roadmap, but hiding
details when presenting it to others.
- There’s a new Manage Sections tool which puts all your sections in one
list, without showing any events, so you can quickly rearrange them, adjust
their visibility, or jump directly to one in the main document.
New event shapes
Points in time can now be marked with triangles pointing in four different
directions.
New CSV export
Having used TimeStory to map out a series of events, you can now export
those events into a simple, plain-text comma-separated values (CSV) file. This
lets you bring these events into other tools, like spreadsheets. This export
omits all of your formatting and positioning, but contains all the event data:
dates, title text, description text, and section assignments.
Bug Fixes and Feature Improvements
- Fixed several bugs in sizing and positioning the document window, the
Inspector, and the document contents
- Improved the year-skipping rules when you reduce the time scale so that the
year labels don’t all fit across the top
- Improved the vertical positioning and section assignment rules for new
events, especially those added via Quick Add or Paste Event, to now better
take into account the current selection and event overlapping
- Allow moving events vertically into a new row at the top or bottom of a
section more easily
- Correctly disable certain buttons when they don’t apply
- Fixed the behavior of several text inputs in the Inspector, the Event
Filter, and the Quick Entry panels, when the size of the text exceeds the
field’s size
- Fixed manual resizing of the Inspector
