OmniOutliner Pro 4.0.3 improves performance with long documents, and fixes numerous crashes and bugs.

• Notes — Fixed the issue with notes displayed in-pane disappearing at the start of editing.
• Stability — Fixed multiple crashes related to using the style theming interface.
• Performance — The performance of typing in long documents of certain configurations has been greatly improved. More optimizations are coming but if you have a file that is still performing badly and can share it with us, please send a copy to omnioutliner@omnigroup.com. Thank you!
• Attachments — Edits made to an embedded attachment during the same session as it was attached should now always be saved.
• Attachments — Linked attachments will now immediately appear as a generic file attachment instead of just after reopening the file. We will be looking at improving linked attachment support in future releases.
• Export — When characters are present that can not be represented in the plain text encoding selected, an error message reflecting that will now properly display instead of causing a hang.

Updated

• Interface — Here's how to check if you have OmniOutliner Pro. Open the app menu (next to the Apple menu); if you see the item "Pro Purchased", then you've got Pro! If not, you're using OmniOutliner Standard. Either way, thanks!

Fixed

• Organizing — Rows can once again be moved up or down while being edited.
• Stability — Fixed a crash that would occur when reverting to a previous version of a file.

New

• Help documentation — A tutorial section titled Working in OmniOutliner 4 has been added to the in-app help.
• Templates — A new Compact template has been added that is the same as the Blank template but with zero row and note padding.

Updated

• Templates — The unnecessary white background color on the Blank template has been removed. The typos in the name of the named styles of the Muted templates have been corrected. If you have made edits to any of these templates you will now have two copies of them, your edited version and the updated copy.
• Batch find — The styling of the search results has been updated to be more visible.
• Columns — Editing of a column header can now be started with a single-click after the column is selected instead of a double-click.

Welcome to OmniOutliner 4! Some highlights of the new features include:

• Zooming — Text can now be magnified on screen without changing your print layout.
• A brand-spanking new UI — Yes, that’s right folks, we’ve totally redesigned the UI in OmniOutliner 4. Out with the old paradigms and in with the new.
• Resource Browser — Use the new Resource Browser to browse recently edited files, choose templates, apply themes to existing documents, and import your templates from OmniOutliner 3.
• Sidebar — We’ve done away with the old style drawer from OmniOutliner 3 and have created a new Sidebar that lists the Contents of your outline, Styles, and more!
• Inspector redesign — OmniOutliner’s redesigned Inspector window is cleaner and fresher.
• Styles — To be more in line with OmniOutliner 2 for iPad, we’ve retooled the way styles work to create a great cross-platform experience.
• Theming — You can now apply the styles from a template (its theme) to your outlines.
• Column visibility (PRO) — Have a document with a lot of columns that you only need to access every now and then? We’ve added the ability to hide columns when you don’t need them, and then make reappear when you want them back.
• Smart Match technology — Pop-up List-styled columns benefit from the Smart Match technology we’ve used in OmniFocus. As you type characters in a Pop-up List cell, OmniOutliner tries to guess which item you mean—and the characters you enter don’t have to be at the beginning or contiguous. If you type a new value that you’d like to add to the Pop-up List, just enter Command-Return to add the value to that list.
• Hyperlinks — URLs are converted into real links so you can click and open them in your default browser. What’s more, if you don’t want or like this behavior, you can toggle this off in OmniOutliner’s preferences.
• Attachments — You can attach pretty much anything to an OmniOutliner document: images, video, audio, even other OmniOutliner files. Attached images autoscale to the column width, and you can attach audio clips which play right within the Outline. What’s more, we’ve added a new attachment popover to replace OmniOutliner 3’s tagging, so you can change the visibility of attached images, use alternative text rather than a filename, and direct how OmniOutliner 4 opens attachments.
