MORE UPDATES TO COME

Stay tuned for more about TheBrain 13. We are working on additional coverage of
this brand new release.

COMPATIBILITY

TheBrain 13 can be installed side-by-side with TheBrain 12. Data is backward
compatible with the following exceptions:

 * Dynamic wallpapers will not show in 12.
 * Header row of tables that have been assigned custom column widths or colors
   in 13 will not render properly in 12.
 * Underline and strikethrough formatting applied in 13 will not render properly
   in 12.

THEBRAIN 13 FEATURES

WYSIWYG Notes Editing

 * Notes work just like you want - you’ll never have to learn anything about how
   markdown works unless you want to.
 * Formatting codes and other markdown tags are now hidden by default resulting
   in a clean, simple editing experience that is exactly “what you see is what
   you get”.
 * TheBrain’s notes are still built on markdown, so they are still:
   * Ultra-reliable
   * Stored in plain-text but with support for powerful formatting and images
   * Easily shared with your other tools
 * Love markdown? Just turn on markdown display to enjoy TheBrain’s
   best-of-breed markdown editor.
 * Even when hiding markdown, many markdown shortcuts can still be typed for
   fast formatting. For example, * at the start of a line to create a bullet
   list and - to create a checkbox.
 * With both WYSIWYG and the ability to show markdown tags, the new notes editor
   offers the best of both worlds.

Powerful Tables in Notes

 * Tables are vastly improved with the ability to set column widths, customize
   colors, move cells, insert columns and rows, and much more.
 * All new table controls for intuitive manipulation and editing.
   * Select a group of cells by clicking and dragging or by holding shift and
     using the arrow keys.
   * Select a column or row using the column and row handles along the left and
     top sides. You can also drag these handles to move them or right click on a
     handle to open a context menu.
   * Insert a column or row anywhere by clicking the insert controls along the
     right and bottom sides.
   * Set the width of a column simply by dragging the right edge.
 * Click the table toolbar button in the top left corner of a table to display
   the table toolbar. The table toolbar gives fast access to table-specific
   commands:
   * The table theme editor where you can visually style a table with custom
     colors and themes.
   * Move a cell or group of selected cells.
   * Duplicate the selected row or column.
 * Once a group of cells has been selected, many features take advantage of
   this:
   * Press the delete key to clear the cells. If an entire row or column is
     selected, it will be removed.
   * Cut, copy and paste can be used to move cells within a table or from one
     table to another.
   * You can even select a group of cells, copy it, then paste elsewhere in the
     document to create a new table.
   * If normal content (not made of multiple cells) is copied and then multiple
     cells are selected prior to pasting, the content will be duplicated into
     every selected cell.
 * Formatting within tables is more powerful than ever. Virtually everything
   that can be done in a document can now be done just as easily inside of a
   table. This includes applying formatting, justification, line styles, colors
   and more. You can even apply formatting to multiple cells at once.
 * Instantly create a table and specify its size with the new UI.
 * Tables are now much more robust and can’t be accidentally broken by typing or
   deleting the wrong thing.

Multi-Column Notes

 * Multi-column notes is an innovative new layout that enables better use of
   widescreen computer displays. It presents content that is too tall to fit
   vertically all-at-once by arranging it side-by-side in a scrollable, seamless
   interface.
 * Utilize your entire display for viewing and editing large amounts of content
   while minimizing the need for scrolling and avoiding unreadable wide spans of
   text.
 * Access multi-column layout via Preferences > Notes Editor > General > Layout.

Improved Sync

 * Brains set to sync automatically are now synced on application exit.
 * To exit immediately, simply close the sync status window that appears.
 * This function can be turned off in Preferences > Behavior > Other.

Dynamic Wallpaper

 * Specific wallpaper can now be associated with a thought type.
 * As you navigate from thought to thought, the appropriate wallpaper fades in
   yielding a smooth transition.
 * Wallpapers are an inheritable property of thought types, making them simple
   to setup and manage.

Native Apple Silicon Support

 * TheBrain now runs natively on Apple’s M1 and M2 chips resulting in smoother
   and more efficient operation.

Attachment Improvements

 * Work with multiple attachments at once:
   * When a thought has multiple attachments, click the thought icon to open the
     list of attachments.
   * Ctrl/Cmd+click to select multiple attachments at once.
   * Use the context menu to copy, cut or delete the selected attachments.
   * Drag and drop multiple attachments at once.
   * All of these features also apply to the list of attachments displayed in
     BrainBox.
 * The standard paste command (Ctrl/Cmd+V) pastes attachments onto the active
   thought/link when attachments are in the clipboard.
 * Web site icons (“favicons”):
   * Right click on a URL attachment to open the context menu where the new Copy
     Favicon to Icon command appears.
   * When a thought’s icon is a favicon, you can now copy it to the clipboard by
     opening the thought properties dialog, clicking the icon, and selecting
     Copy Icon
 * New setting in Preferences > Behavior > Content Previews to toggle immediate
   previewing of file attachments upon being attached.

More Notes Improvements

 * Reorganized notes editor preferences including new options:
   * Turn on display of markdown tags.
   * Toggle rendering of underscore tags as italics to match standard markdown.
   * Setting to disable email/phone number recognition.
 * Improved toolbar including fast access to toggle markdown display and a new
   insert menu.
 * Support for fixed page breaks (accessed through the insert menu).
 * Faster performance, especially with very long lines of text
 * Paragraph type dropdown improvements:
   * Creates multi-line code regions.
   * Support for H5 and H6 headings.
 * Improved copy/paste that maintains the correct formatting of text even when
   the relevant markdown tags are not copied.
 * All new engine that makes application of formatting more consistent and
   predictable.
 * Underline and strike-through can now be applied freely, even in the middle of
   words.
 * Toolbar controls for applying superscript and subscript formatting.
 * When typing bold or italic text, typing a space will no longer disable the
   formatting until another character is typed. (This is a problem with every
   other markdown editor.)

Other Improvements

 * Preferences are now searchable along with commands via Help > Search Commands
   and Preferences or by typing / in the search box.
 * Create multiple thought types at once using semicolons.
 * Copy a thought and paste its colors to another thought using the new Paste
   Thought Colors command.
 * BrainBox documentation link added to the BrainBox menu.
 * Settings in the Create Document dialog are now retained.
 * A keyboard shortcut can now be set for childward only searches.
 * New preference to disable backlinks and unlinked mentions from private
   thoughts.
 * Spelling suggestions are now available from within the to do list.
 * Events attached to forgotten thoughts are faded in the timeline display.
 * Support for multiple backtick tags to surround inline code containing a
   backtick.
