Introduction > What's New
Changes in version 5.0.3
New on desktop:
| • | While in the outline view, changed the "Select All" (keyboard shortcut Ctrl-A) so if any outline rows are selected or if the entire text of the current outline item is selected then the entire outline is selected. Otherwise Ctrl-A will select the entire text of the current item. If you wish to select the entire outline, use "Select All" twice (i.e. press Ctrl-A twice). |
Fixed on desktop:
| • | Fixed issues with exporting outlines to a Palm PDB format. Exporting an outline with Task or Calendar links would cause the Bonsai Palm app to crash when opening the outline. |
| • | Fixed Bonsai crash that would occur if configured to sync an outline with the same outline file. |
| • | Changed code to handle column size mis-configurations in the outline file. This issue was seen when importing Palm OS format outline files. |
Changes in version 5.0.2
Fixed on desktop:
| • | Improve speed of saving outline files, particularly when saving to a network disk over a slow link. |
Changes in version 5.0.1
New on desktop:
| • | Bonsai Desktop support of outline to outline file synchonization. Can be used by Bonsai USB users wishing to keep their outlines in sync between their local desktop and corresponding outlines on their USB drive. Can also be used to share outline files with other Bonsai users. Feature includes an option to auto-sync on outline open/save operations. |
| • | Support for syncing outlines to Palm Pre smartphones for use with Bonsai for Palm OS software ***VIA*** the Classic emulator by MotionApps. Bonsai for Palm is certified for the Classic emulator and Bonsai Desktop can sync your desktop outlines with the Pre when it is connected as a USB mass storage device. Use the file synchronization feature to keep your outlines in sync. Requires a USB connection; does not support OTA synchronization. |
| • | Improvements to the Find/Replace operations. These operations now support incremental find and have options to "search notes" and "search up". As you type your search string, Bonsai will locate and display the next found occurrence of the partial search string. |
| • | New Quick Filter feature. Allows users to quickly define and apply a temporary filter. Includes the ability to create a quick filter based on another existing filter. |
| • | Added ability to duplicate an existing filter or view. |
| • | Optimized Bonsai background processing, particularly improving CPU usage when the Bonsai application is placed into the background. |
| • | Support for importing and exporting Bonsai outlines files in a Bonsai Palm (.pdb) format. |
| • | Added Alt+’0’ desktop shortcut to mirror the Shift+ Keypad '+' shortcut for expanding the entire outline. This shortcut is easier to access on laptop PCs verses the keypad version and complements the Alt+'1' ... Alt+'4' shortcuts for expanding the outline to level 'n'. |
| • | The "Edit/Insert File Link" menu now allows multiple file links to be inserted. |
| • | Now checks for changes to the disk-based version of an opened outline file. The user will be notified and given a chance to reload the outline file. This check is done when the Bonsai application is brought to the foreground and when the outline is initially modified. |
| • | Miscellaneous bug fixes (see readme for complete details). |
Changes in version 4.2.7

When using these links, you will need to avoid using embedded space characters. For example, replace "My EverNote Files" with the short file name "MYEVER~1". You may also be able reconfigure Evernote to use a directory path that does not contain any spaces to avoid needing to edit the link each time you insert it into Bonsai. |

New on desktop:
| • | New support for running Bonsai as a portable application on a U3 USB memory key. Please download and install the Bonsai U3 setup (BonsaiU3.exe) in order to install. |

Whenever an outline is opened and an auto-save file is found, the user is prompted for which version of the outline should be opened. The View/Global Options General tab can be used to enable/disable this feature (default is enabled) and to configure how often the auto-save should be performed. |
