What’s New?
- There is now only a single homepage window, this has a number of consequences:
- The application starts much quicker because it no longer creates a new blank document in the background.
- The application also now no longer tries to verify whether a printer is available. This also speeds up the startup.
- Improved "Application Quit" behaviour. When you click on Homepage->Quit the app will close documents in a particular sequence:
- First files that are dirty and unnamed, options “Save”, “Discard” or “Cancel”
- Then files that are dirty and named, options “Save All”, “Save”, “Discard” or “Cancel”
- Then the application will close all clean files.
- For the IdeaMapperPro Desktop edition you can now connect to an AI LLM and various AI functions are now enabled. To use this go to the Tools->Options and navigate to "AI Options". Here you can then choose which Provider to use (supported are currently OpenAI and Anthropic or a local AI based on Ollama). …
