Each time the options are changed, the default for new Brains is also set, however existing Brains with custom settings will retain their prior settings.  Improved Reports o Quick pick menu enables generating a report with a single selection . The drop downs for Thought type, tags, and attachments have all been consolidated into the “quick pick” menu, which contains all of the same options, but in an easier to understand format. . Using the quick pick menu, you can generate a report based on a single Thought type, tag, attachment with just two clicks. The quick pick button also includes a list of “special” reports, such as parentless Thoughts. . In the tags section of the quick pick menu, a report for untagged Thoughts has been added o To generate a report using multiple types, tags, and/or attachments, select “Custom…” from the quick pick menu. . This opens the custom report dialog which enabled reports based on:  Multiple tags, whose state can be included, excluded or ignored  Multiple Thought types  Multiple attachment types . Custom reports can be saved and reloaded for later reuse (New Pro only feature) o All of the above reports can also be filtered with date options and sorted by different criteria as usual  Search and replace attachment locations o File > Utilities > Replace Attachment Locations… allows search and replace of attachment locations. This is useful when all of the attachments at a given location have moved. This may happen if the server hosting them is renamed for example.  Tags o The list of tags in the Tags tool window uses multiple columns of tags when possible so many times the number of tags can be shown at once. Tag counts are shown to the left of the checkbox for the current Thought.

o When a Tag Thought is active, the Properties & Attachments tab shows the tag properties on it o F2 can be used to rename a tag Thought. o The button to create, edit, and delete tags have been changed to icons  Improved printing o When printing, instead of scaling the edges of the display to match the page edges, all Thoughts currently displayed are scaled to fit the page. o Matching Colors for Printouts . Under File > Page Setup and Multi-Page Printing, a checkbox option has been added, “Print using a white background”. When selected, the background of printouts will automatically be set to white. When not selected, printouts will use the same background as onscreen, including wallpapers. o Printer margins default 0.25” on all sides instead of 1”. o Margins and page orientation is saved to preferences.  Preferences o Advanced Preferences added . Wander  Amount of delay between activations  Option to show last active Thought in the background . Normal View with Distant Thoughts Visible  Distant Thought size  Spacing between Thoughts . Spacing of steps in outline view  Slider going from “small” to “large”, with the current default setting being in the middle o More preferences added . Open the last used Brain automatically (default: true) . Sort instant results by most recently activated (default: true) . Hide temporary and hidden files in Thought folders (default: true) . Enable context-sensitive names (default: true) . Forget Thoughts before deleting (default: true) . Show siblings (default: true) . Highlight recently created Thoughts (default: true)  Outline import and export o New command: “Copy as Text Outline with Notes” . This command copies the selected Thoughts along with their notes and places them in an text tabbed outline o Paste outline improvements . When an existing thought is found, the options are now:  Link to existing  Create new  Always link to existing  Always create new  Search of MindManager and FreeMind files o Attached files in these formats are now searchable  SiteBrain improvements o SiteBrain export includes tags in mouseover labels o Logo can be hidden by changing the licenseKey value in settings.js to “PB”  Miscellaneous Improvements o Insert Image Command in Notes (under the Insert menu) o In the Thought creation dialog box, the list of existing thoughts excludes the Thought creation initiated from. o Firefox bookmark import now connects to the Firefox database to import more accurately and reliably o The trash folder (contained inside the _brain folder) automatically empties items that are older than 30 days. o Database engine updated o Icons indicate which menu commands are Pro or Core only (unless the relevant edition is already registered)  Brain Screen Saver (Windows and Mac OS X only) © TheBrain Technologies LP Page 14 of 16
