We’ve made a few videos to introduce the major features. We know you have things to do, so they’re short without rushing through things.
Feature! Feature! Read all about it!
We can’t list everything, but this is a pretty good start.
Here are a few of the new features we’ve added
New Productivity Features
- New Stacks Menu to give you easy access to many editing tasks.
- New key-bindings for easily editing, moving, and selecting stacks.
- Option-Arrow-Up/Down to move a stack – or many stacks – around on the page.
- New command-keys that for making partials that work on single stacks or multiple stacks, even when scattered around the layout.
New Library Features
- Two new “compact” modes for the Stacks Library allow you to see even more stacks in the Stacks Library pane. (This also meant some serious behind the scenes performance improvements for displaying dozens or even hundreds of unique icons while still scrolling smoothly!)
- New Smart-Groups to save a preferred group of stacks and partials.
- Lots of smart-group features to help you narrow down your search to only types of stacks or search only specific stack properties.
- And the much requested feature: drag and drop stack-groups to rearrange them.
New Page Statistics
- A brand new way to see how many of each type of stack you’re using in each layout.
- And since it can be hard to find a deeply nested stack in a very complex layout, just click on any time in the Page Statistics window and stacks will jump to that item and select it for you.
New Stacks Preferences
- Adjust Stacks Library Searches to work globally or just per group.
- Quickly see where your Stacks Image Backup folder is located and open it in the Finder.
- Now when you select a stack, Stacks will jump to it.
- New preferences let you enable, and tweak scroll-to-selection feature to work just the way you want.
- After years of teasing you can finally enable double-click-to-hide or double-click-to-lock.
Stable
A big thank you to Realmac for providing me with crash reports this summer – and everyone that submitted one. I think you’ll find this version of Stacks is one of the most stable versions in many many years.
We would never ask you to pay for bug fixes, though. So you won’t find these changes in the feature list either. All of these crash fixes and other stability improvements are being back-ported to Stacks 4 FOR FREE and should be ready by the end of the week.
