Subject: [thejournal-users] Now Available - The Journal 7 Build #923

The Journal 7 Build #923 is now available!

The Journal 7 Build #923 is a bugfix release. This is a free update for
all registered users of The Journal 7.

Bugs Fixed
* “The Journal Support Page” link on the Help menu is going to the main
Web page, not the support page.
* After inserting a table with auto-size set, the first time you type in
the table, it shrinks.
* Edit Properties & Layout for images and objects isn’t properly
handling spacing and width/height.
* Inserted images are smaller at “full size” than they used to be.
* When printing entries with images in them, the sizes are off.
* Insert Date, Insert Time and other insert commands with hot-keys
aren’t active in the full-screen editor.
* Need to extract UserComment from JPEG ExIf in addition to
ImageDescription.
* “Get Web Page” command should be able to download more images.
* If an image in the editor has been stretched (either larger or
smaller), clicking on “Toggle Image Full/Thumbnail” should set it to
full size, not to thumbnail size.


Upgrading from The Journal 7 (any previous build)

Click on the “File” menu, “Maintenance” sub-menu and choose “Backup The
Journal...” to create a backup *before* you install the update.

Click on the "Help" menu and choose “Check for Update of The Journal”.
Download the update and install it over your current version. You can
also download the update directly from the Web page, as this build is
now the default download.

NOTE: Please close The Journal before installing the update. The Journal
cannot be running when you install the update.

For instructions for upgrading from The Journal 6 or earlier versions,
see below.


What’s New in The Journal 7?

More Power!

* Search anywhere! See lightning-fast search results in any category no
matter how many entries you have. Search results update as you type.
Plus, in-entry searching has been made even better, making it easier to
see search terms and navigate between them.

* Search everything! The new, improved Search Entries shows your search
results as you type, and allows you to easily add or remove entire
categories from your search. Plus, you can now save your searches.

* More writing power! Format your text with new, more powerful styles,
including many new options at the paragraph and character levels. View
two entries at once with split-screen editing. Shut out the world and
focus on your writing with the new distraction-free, full-screen editing
mode. Search-and-replace within all entries of a category.

* Word clouds! See word clouds for your categories based on your entry
text or on the topics you have assigned to your entries.

* Improved printing, exporting, and importing!

* Improved topic support and reporting!

* Improved international character support!

* Improved image/photo support, including image rotation, thumbnails,
and doodling (directly in the entry or on other images)!

* Improved media file support, with playback using Windows Media Player!

* More options for categories, including specifying the day the week
starts and sorting options for loose-leaf entries.

* New entry editor options like hot-linking images, a running word count
on the status bar, format painter, and improved text highlighting.

* New Entry Report Wizard (on the Tools menu), with new and improved
reports!

Improved Security & Stability!

* Recover accidentally deleted entries!

* Streamlined backup, restore, and upgrading!

* Easily use The Journal with automatic backup/sync-ing software! The
Journal's new, single-file database configuration is faster and uses
less space on your hard drive or USB/Flash drive, and makes it much
easier to use The Journal with products like DropBox.

* Improved security! With salted passwords and a new layer of
encryption, The Journal 7 keeps your entries safer than ever.

More Convenience!

* More flexible user interface! Display your categories as a tree or
nested tabs. Color-code your categories. Sort your loose-leaf entries by
name, date created, or even last date updated. Fully customize menus,
toolbars, and even command hot-keys.

* New visual themes! The Journal 7 includes a new set of visual themes
and a more cohesive look-and-feel (but you can still use the old skins,
if you want).

* Synchronize multiple copies of The Journal! Have The Journal on your
laptop at work and your desktop at home? Keeping them in sync is easier
than ever. You can sync from another Journal Volume, a backup file, or
any of The Journal's export files.

* Synchronize The Journal with your mobile- and tablet-based software!
Import your entries and notes from such products as Evernote, Penzu,
Diaro, and more.

* Give your tired eyes a rest! Today's high-def displays (especially
newer tablet displays) come with tiny print that can be very hard to
read. The Journal 7 includes new, easier-to-read toolbar icons, and lets
you see what you're typing!


Upgrading from The Journal 6 (or any previous version)

NOTE: Do NOT uninstall the previous version! (At least, not until you’re
satisfied with the upgrade. Then you can uninstall the previous version.)

Download and install The Journal 7. If you have The Journal installed in
the default location, you will be prompted by The Journal 7 about
upgrading your TJ6 (or earlier) Journal Volumes.

You will need to close The Journal 6 while TJ7 upgrades your Journal
Volumes. After that, though, you can run both The Journal 7 and The
Journal 6 without any issues.

People who have purchased any previous version of The Journal are
eligible for special upgrade pricing:

* If you purchased The Journal 6 between 1 October 2014 and now, you are
eligible for a FREE upgrade to The Journal 7. Send an email to
support@xxxxxxxxxxx (do not send your request to the user mailing list,
thanks!) to request your free Registration Keys for The Journal 7.

* If you have purchased any previous version of The Journal (v1-v6), you
can upgrade to The Journal 7 for only $19.95 ($25 off).

As always, if you have any questions about or suggestions for The
Journal, please don’t hesitate to contact me: support@xxxxxxxxxxx
