Realm Works Version 1.0.1 Now Available

[liz]

A new version of Realm Works is now available as an automatic update within Realm Works. Not only can you now delete realms, but we’ve also added a handful of requested features such as pasting text without formatting, along with other enhancements. Below is a list of some of the changes in the newest release. Additional enhancements and a list of bug fixes can be found in the Release Notes within Realm Works.

Special Note Items

• The “Equipment Type” snippet on Merchant topics has been eliminated, as all the types of equipment should be reflected within the “Goods Sold” snippet. All “Equipment Type” tags assigned to merchant topics have been migrated to the equivalent “Goods Sold” tag. If you had custom “Equipment Type” tags or annotations on the “Equipment Type” snippet, you’ll need to recreate that information on the “Goods Sold” snippet.
• The “Organization Type” snippet on “Titled Position” topics has been eliminated, as that should be dictated by the organization(s) with which the title is used and not on the title itself.
• A new “Usage” tag-based snippet has been added to the “Urban Region” category that identifies the primary usage of the region. All of the tags corresponding to the usage have been eliminated from the “Urban Region” snippet and migrated over to the new “Usage” snippet. If you had assigned these tags to an urban region topic, they will now be moved to the new snippet, which has been auto-added to every urban region topic that existed (unless the old snippet has been deleted from the topic).
• In order to effect the above data migration, users with realms that are impacted will be forced to sync with the server prior being allowed to access those realms. The fixups being made on the client then need to be forced up to the server. The users who are impacted are receiving direct emails with further details to explain what’s going on and how to resolve things quickly and painlessly after the migration is performed.

New Features!

• It’s now possible to properly delete a realm that is no longer desired.

Enhancements and Changes

• We’ve added four new categories that have been identified as being valuable within numerous campaigns.
• A new “Source” tag domain has been pre-defined. It has no tags and is intended as a means for users to tag content with the source from which it originates (typically a book).
• The various topic selection dialogs now remember the last selected choice and restore that choice as the default when next opened. This makes assigning lots of topics to the same container, for example, much more efficient.
• When multiple options are presented within the automatic link detection dialog, it’s now possible to simply double-click on an option to select it and proceed.
• There is now an option for “Paste Special” to strip all formatting from the text and reformat it all as a single paragraph. This option is also now the default choice.
• Access to the “Clear Text Formatting and Reformat as a Single Paragraph” option for snippets has become much simpler with introduction of the <ctrl+alt+R> keyboard shortcut to directly invoke operation on the contents of the snippet wherein the keyboard focus lies.
• New pre-defined tags were added to a large number of tag domains to flesh out the available options more fully.
• The “Residence / Resident” nature has been added to the “Comprises / Belongs” relationship type.
• Renamed a number of tags for clarity, typically to disambiguate them new tags that have been added. The original meaning of tags has not been changed.

I like the storyline category. I think in addition to that, I'm going to create a storyline domain for tags and create a tag under that for each adventure. This way, if I have a recurring character through multiple storylines, I can move him from one storyline category to another, but also keep track of all his appearances with the tag.

It solved the -500 sync error I was having with a realm too.

Yay!

Brill! Glad this appeared now. (Just need to change 17 articles, not 118...)

Resident relationship. Much more elegant than creating a town group container. Thank you!

Loving the Storyline category and the nifty new scene icon.

It's the little things that make me happy...

FYI, I had to download the update from your website as the update button didn't do anything.

Hmmmmm... can you please send us a bug report? Let us know what your default browser is and any other possibly pertinent info (anti-virus software info, etc.). With that info we can see if we can recreate it. Thanks!

Done.

I would like to see the "door" icon that used to be on the Scene Category available again. I was using it on some custom Categories, and they have now changed to the "clapboard" icon like the Scene Category has. I tried to put the "door" icon back, but it does not seem to be there anymore.
