Release 1.1.1: search diagrams and bug fixes

Sorry I’m not pushing updates as often as I’d like to, but I’ve actually spent quite some time last week away from coding, to think a bit about where I’d like to take Lovely Charts and most importantly, how to get there (read “search for money or not?” ;)).
I will try to publish a little note soon with some more details on my current thinking on this, but meanwhile, since I’ve finally found some time this week to work on a couple of things, it’s my pleasure to announce today the immediate availability of release 1.1.1, bringing you the following improvements:

  • New feature: progressive search. This is obviously only relevant to premium users, who sometimes create and maintain quite a lot of diagrams. A “progressive” search field now exists below the diagrams list, which you can use to filter down the diagrams list to only show the diagrams you want to see.
    Simply start typing some letters contained in the name of the diagram(s) you are looking for, and watch the results in real-time as you type. It’s only a first step towards a much better, powerful diagram management interface, but it’s already quite a big improvement imho :)

    Progressive search

  • Fixed a couple of bugs related to selection not properly updating properties controls (such as strokes color, style or width), making it sometimes a bit tedious to apply settings repeatedly to different symbols.
  • I also think (hope^^) I finally fixed a pretty serious (even if it only happened given a very specific scenario) bug that caused some diagrams to overwrite each other when working on multiple tabs. Crossing fingers here, but I really think this shouldn’t happen anymore !
