• Finally we switched to "common files" instead of using projects. Impacts to this change:
  • Project  are stored in one single file now with the extension "h2.db", e.g. "Demo.h2.db". You can copy, move or rename such a files as long as you don't change the extension. Depending on your system settings, you won't see extensions anyway.
  • There is no project folder anymore. Storybook files can now be stored wherever you want.
• A Russian translation is available now.
• A Czech translation is available now.
• A Simplified Chinese translation is available now.
• For Windows user: If you have trouble with the installation, try the following steps:
  1. Start the Storybook Uninstaller and follow the instructions.
  2. Reboot.
  3. Remove the storybook folder manually, if it is still there (called "storybook", located in the program folder).
  4. Install the the new version of Storybook.

After the update

There are several things to notice after the update:

• The welcome dialog is not shown anymore. There is currently no replacement.
• The options "open last project on start up" is currently disabled. This feature might be available again in a future release.
• The menu "File -> Open Recent" is scheduled, but not implemented yet.
• The menu "File -> Save as" is scheduled, but not implemented yet. You can copy a Storybook file with the file explorer.
• After the start you will see the application without any file loaded. To load your project, select "File -> Open".
  • If you see your files in the opened dialog, you're done. Just open it and continue with work. It is recommended (but not necessary) to move your files to another folder.
  • If you don't see your files but simply your home directory, please enter the right folder location. On Windows for user "frodo" that would be:
    C:\Users\frodo\.storybook\projects
    For other system, please read this FAQ.
• Backups: There is no possibility to make backups anymore. Please backup your Storybook files with your backup software.
• Internal Backups: Although the internal backup tool has been dropped, the backup files already created are still available. If you want to restore such a backup, locate the file, unzip it and open it.

• A "quick navigation" has been implemented. Right click on a scene number and select "show in chronological view" to switch to the desired view and show the scene there. Of course this works for any view, not just for the chronological view. It is also possible to right click on a scene in the tree and select the view to shown the scene in there.
• Most dialogs are non-modal (= don't prevent the workflow on the application) and re-sizable now.
• After editing a scene, the refreshing is more accurate now. The view is always up-to-date even if the date was changed.
• When editing a scene, the date chooser has 2 new buttons now to quickly add or subtract 1 day.
• The dictionaries has been updated.
• The color chooser has some nice predefined colors now.
• Support for dark colors has been added. E.g. black can be used for a strand now. The label text will be shown in white in this case.
• At the bottom in the chronological view there is an empty row. This row has a date now (the next "empty" day, or more precisely the next day which is empty for the current part).
• Last but not least: We're looking for a new logo. More information on the community page.
