[ANNOUNCE] PaperBox 0.2

[news 28]

Hi!

 

The second release of PaperBox is now available for download from

http://download.gnome.org/sources/paperbox/0.2/

 

What is it?

===========

 

PaperBox is a document browser.

 

It lets you nicely view your ebooks, office and text documents and

organise them by tags.

 

Relying on Tracker, it is able to instantly discover all documents

on your desktop, and present them in a convenient way. Tags and other

metadata are shared across all Tracker-based applications.

Changes

=======

 

- Additional MIME types in index: missing OpenDocument formats

with text, AbiWord, Microsoft Office, PostScript, and plain

text files.

 

- Categories: tag bundles for easier organising. A simple editor

is included. Category files are stored in

$HOME/.config/paperbox/categories

 

- All communication with Tracker is asynchronous. This means that,

for example, the program won't hang anymore if you try to add

a tag, but Tracker is currently busy indexing or generally not

immediately responsive.

 

- Respond to external tag changes. If you tag a document in

tracker-search-tool for instance, PaperBox will immediately

show or hide the tag(s).

 

- Fixed bug #507520 – PaperBox crashes when Tracker is indexing,

reported by Piotr Gaczkowski.

 

- Fixed a bug about keeping document tiles expanded as we move

through pages, and unintentionally showing all document details

on tag selection.

 

- Depend on giomm for file I/O.

 

- Improved i18n support via usage of ngettext and no markup in strings.
