Icon chain

• The icon chain to the left of the outliner is now fixed when vertically scrolling.

Tabs

• If there is an error loading an outline into a tab an error box will now display at the top of the outline describing the problem and offer the option to try again or close the tab.

• If you ever run into a situation where no tabs are present, navigate to the #prefs folder within the Fargo folder on Dropbox and remove the file tabs.json.

International characters

• When we save files to Dropbox, Dropbox attempts to detect the encoding (ASCII, Latin1, UTF-8) of the file. Sometimes their encoding detection is incorrect. This caused international characters to occasionally be encoded incorrectly when reading an outline back into Fargo.

• This release has a change in it to avoid that encoding problem. Files are now read from Dropbox in a (binary) way that prevents the auto-detected encoding from being applied. International characters should no longer be encoded incorrectly.

The big change in 0.48 is the introduction of Small Picture Reader.

It's a separate app, in a web page, as with all our apps, that is used to read outlines, the same way Readability is used to read web pages.

To use it

• 1. Prepare an outline in Fargo that you want to share.
• 1. When you're ready, choose View in Reader in the File menu.
• 1. Reader should open, with your outline displayed.
• 1. You can then send the URL of that page to friends or colleagues, or use the Tweet icon in the left margin to send it to your Twitter followers.

Tips for readers

• Reader is always checking to see if your outline has updated, and when it does, it automatically displays the updated outline. This can be disturbing if you're reading an outline, you can lose your place.

• If this bothers you, click the lock icon in the left margin. Reader will hold on to any updates, and only show them when you unlock it. When there are changes the lock icon will change from gray to green.
