h3. New Features:
* Double clicking an image open it up in a suitable external editor (such as Acorn or Preview or Photoshop or whatever). Saving the image will then update the original image located in your VoodooPad Page. You've seen Acorn, right? http://flyingmeat.com/acorn/
* You can now edit pages and sort the results in the search window (woo!).
* Option-clicking on a tab close button will close all the open tabs except the one clicked on.
* The "default page text" in the preferences now accepts rich text, so you can embolden certain phrases or whatever. Go crazy.
* Pages served up via VoodooPad Pro's built in webserver look a whole lot better, especially on the iPhone.
* Speaking of the webserver- you now have the ability to search through all the pages when looking at a document in your browser (VoodooPad Pro only).
* The zoom factor of the page is remembered in the document workspace, so it'll be remembered between launches.
* When splitting a document, links to pages in the original document are retained for the pages being copied out.
* Added a page index to the default Web Export templates. Now you have a handy list of all the pages in your Web Export.
* New AppleScript: tell window 1 of application "VoodooPad" to insert text "hello world!"
* New AppleScript command to add/embed a file to the current document.
* Added an option to VoodooPad AppleScript export command- "with synchronous", which makes the export happen in the foreground.
h3. Changes:
* Reworked AppleScript implementation, which may require changes to your previous AppleScripts.
* No longer showing the license when starting up a new version. Please don't sue me.
* Cleaned up a preferences dialog box which could be confusing.
* Exporting to the iPod Notes folder is now done on a background thread, which makes things more responsive if you have a ton of pages.
* Changed the shortcut for deleting a page from Command-D to Command-Shift-D, making in less likely to hit by accident.
* Double clicking an image with the option key down will now prompt you to save the image.
h3. Bug Fixes:
* Fixed a problem where cmd-w wouldn't always close a window.
* VoodooPad Lite no longer tries to install plugins, which it can't use.
* Fixed a bug where the wiki engine would not markup a link directly following an email in the format 'first.last@foo.com'.
* You can now copy and paste linkback data across pages.
* Fixed some issues where list bullets would seemingly pop out of nowhere.
* Fixed a bug where VP would crash with certain embedded webarchives.
h3. Other:
* New hidden pref for writing out images to the iPod Notes folder (Only works on 5th gen iPods):
defaults write com.flyingmeat.VoodooPad_Pro writeIpodImages 1
* When exporting to the iPod notes folder, pages that have been deleted from the document but were still around from the last export are now cleaned up
* New hidden pref: defaults write com.flyingmeat.VoodooPad_Pro alwaysShowRuler 1
VoodooPad: Simple AppleScript Examplesurn:uuid:8596b25e-3567-01da-0fb1-c0cbe4c4b51f:352007-12-16T16:02:51Z2005-10-04T23:16:10Zh2. Here are some snippets of AppleScript that you might find handy.
Note: These are examples that work in VoodooPad 3.5. If you have a previous version of VoodooPad, check the help files that came with that version. For folks with VoodooPad Pro, just substitute "VoodooPad Pro" where you see "VoodooPad below.

tell theDoc
set myList to ordered names sorted by create date
repeat with idx from 1 to number of items in myList
set pageName to item idx of myList
set s to text of (page pageName of theDoc)

Move a little, do a lot.VoodooPad: Encryptionurn:uuid:f5eafb3e-1fda-01da-16f7-c0cbe4c4fd6d:82007-08-24T11:57:23Z2005-09-07T13:07:05Zh1. Encryption in VoodooPad
There are two ways to encrypt your data in VoodooPad. The first one (available in VoodooPad and VoodooPad Pro) is the ability to encrypt a single page. This is known as "Page Level Encryption". The second way (available in Voodoopad Pro only) is known as "Document Level Encryption". We'll go over Page Level Encryption first.
h2. Page Level Encryption
VoodooPad supports encrypting pages one at time, so you can have a mix of encrypted and unencrypted pages in a single document.
When encrypting a page, you are prompted to enter your password twice (to make sure your typing matches your intentions), and an option to keep the password in the Keychain.
p=. !$imagesDir$/voodoopad/encryptsheet.png! <br/>(encrypting a page)
When you place your password on the Keychain, you won't have to remember it when decrypting or encrypting your page. If you change your mind later and you would like to have your password removed from the Keychain, hold down the option key when decrypting the page and the password will be removed from the Keychain. Holding down the option key when encrypting will bring up the sheet regardless if you have the password on the Keychain or not.
p=. !$imagesDir$/voodoopad/decryptsheet.png! <br/>(decrypting a page)
h2. Document Level Encryption
VoodooPad Pro has the ability to make your whole document encrypted. With this in effect, you enter your password once when opening up your document, and you gain access to all your pages inside.
To remove a password from an encrypted document choose "Set Document Password..." from the Edit menu, and leave the password fields empty. To add a password to a plain document, choose "Change Document Password..." from the Edit menu and enter your password in the fields.
