Provides the most flexible and powerful environment for gathering and shaping your ideas Curio provides the most flexible and powerful environment for gathering and shaping your ideas. No other product on the market has the features and the intuitive interface to promote creative exploration.Unlike notebook-style applications, Curio lets you place anything anywhere on the page.Curio lets your mind run wild with an unlimited number of creative idea spaces. Create freeform collages of text snippets, images, movies, and sounds. Grab URL's, images, and text from the web, or files and documents off your hard disk. Need to sketch out an idea? Curio's amazing brushes and pens allow you to create dazzling drawings and quick doodles anywhere on the page. Tablet users will find creative nirvana as many of the brushes are pressure-senstive, changing their color saturation and brush size on-the-fly as you press harder on the tablet. Here are some key features of "Curio Pro": · Surround your ideas with Curio's flowcharting and mind mapping shapes! · Curio's group, text, and asset figures can be framed with rectangles, rounded rectangles, octagons, hexagons, trapezoids, brackets, vertical brackets, triangles, diamonds, semicircles, ovals, and clouds. · Many shapes can be further customized turning brackets into parentheses and clouds into super-bumpy clouds. · Create outline lists and check lists! Any type of figure can be in a list: text, assets, images, movies, bookmarks ... anything! · Figures can be easily rearranged and indented (via tab and shift-tab or via drag and drop within the list). You can also apply an optional outline style for creating various types of bulleted and numbered lists. Combined with the flags, checkboxes, and ratings (all described below) you can easily create Top 10 lists and To Do lists. · With Curio's advanced grid you have control over the vertical and horizontal grid snapping. · Curio now includes new grid styles such as notebook, college-ruled, legal, quadrille, and engineering papers. · When using one of the notebook-style grids, text line height is automatically set to match grid height to complete the notebook paper look. · Figures within Curio can be tagged with one or more built-in graphical flags to make certain items stand out. A checkbox flag can also be added which can be checked and unchecked. And rating stars can be displayed to quickly see the top-rated items. Fill an idea space with new company names or logos and, with a quick click, flag them so the winners are separated from the losers. · Have you ever wanted to create a quick embedded TextEdit document or Photoshop drawing while brainstorming in Curio? To do this in the past you've had to leave Curio, launch the other application, do your work, save the file, drag that file into your Curio project marking it as embedded, then delete the original file. Whew! But no longer! Now you can easily create an embedded document for any application. Curio comes bundled with several default templates for TextEdit, Photoshop, OmniGraffle, OmniOutliner, and others, and you can easily add your own document files as templates. · The Curio paint brushes and pens will change their brush size and color saturation with pressure while you're scribbling on a tablet. The opacity stays set to the value specified in the Inspector. This combines the best of Apple InkPad (size and saturation change with pressure) and Adobe Photoshop (opacity can be set for a brush). It now feels much more like you're scribbling on a real-world sketchbook! · The Library has been integrated into the main project window as a separate collapsible pane. Searching via the toolbar's search field now updates the Organizer, current idea space, and Library panes. You can also display additional sortable columns including date created, date modified, date added (to Curio), rating, preview image, whether the asset has an associated note, use count, and size in bytes. The Library can also show you where an asset is used in your project and allow you to quickly open an associated idea space. It's awesome! · Sleuth comes pre-loaded with tons of amazing reference sites, photo archives, quote services, font foundries, and other fun sites. But what if you have a particular site that you want to search that Sleuth didn't include? · No problem! Drag and drop a search result page from Safari or other browser and Sleuth will fill in the details automatically. For search sites that use POST you'll need to do some digging on your own to find out what's needed but Sleuth's interface makes it easy to set up the Sleuth site once you have that info. · The Dossier component of Curio contains an incredible collection of customizable question and answer templates to help you get started on your project. Choose Creative Brief for your graphic or print design needs, Video Production for your next video project, and Product Plan when planning a new product, service, or company. · Other templates include Screenplay for your cinematic aspirations, Science Experiments for classroom lessons, and Essay for your creative writing assignments. · You can publish your project, or just selected idea spaces, to your .Mac iDisk to share with anyone! Your idea spaces are exported using Curio's wonderful HTML exporter (see below) then uploaded to your iDisk. In fact, multiple projects can be published simultaneously in the background while you continue working with Curio. · Curio will make sure only changed idea spaces and assets are exported since your last publish to maximize efficiency. · You can export your Curio idea spaces as PDF's, TIFF's, PNG's, JPG's, or even HTML. The HTML support is simply amazing: idea spaces are exported as images along with all assets associated with those idea spaces. Asset figures found on the rendered idea space can be clicked on to instantly download documents, movies, and songs, loading them within the browser if appropriate. Web URLs and jump markers also work as you would expect taking you to the web site or idea space. Check out our Feature Tour sample Curio document exported as an HTML project. Limitations: · 15 days trial period. After the trial period you can view and print your projects but you will no longer be able to save, export or publish. What's New in This Release: · Leopard and Snow Leopard Enhancements - For both Leopard and Snow Leopard customers, you now have access to the standard Edit > Transformations submenu which allows you to uppercase, lowercase, and capitalize any selected text. In addition, you will now see the standard Edit > Speech submenu which can be used to make your Mac speak the selected text. · In the Curio's Preferences, under the Idea Space icon, you now now enable grammar checking, smart quote substitution (automatic straight quotes to curly quotes), and web link detection. Snow Leopard customers can also enable automatic spelling correction, text replacement (controlled via System Preferences > Language & Text > Text), and dash substitution (double dash to em dash substitution). · You can also modify those preferences on-the-fly when editing some text using the Edit > Spelling & Grammar submenu and the Edit > Substitutions submenu. · Status Shelf Enhancements - You can now group your tasks by rating or priority. · Printing Improvements - First, substantial code improvements were made to the print and PDF export code modules to make them more efficient and faster, particularly for large projects. · Next, we added a useful tweak to the print footer. · The print footer currently shows the idea space number. However, if the idea space doesn't fit on the single sheet of paper then each sheet would end up with the same footer which isn't terribly useful. · So we've changed the footer to support printing the idea space number and optional sheet information. For example, if idea space #26 spans onto 9 sheets of paper then the 3rd sheet would show 26 (3 / 9) as its footer. · To accomplish this we added a new print variable {%IdeaSpaceNumberWithSheetInfo} along with a couple of helper variables: {%IdeaSpaceSheetNumber} and {%IdeaSpaceNumberOfSheets}. · If the idea space fits on a single page then {%IdeaSpaceNumberWithSheetInfo} is simply replaced with the idea space number.? Other Features: · When Curio activates QuickRender mode, like when drag-selecting or moving items for example, we no longer redraw figures without gradients. · Holding down the Shift key is now optional when pressing Command-Shift-8 to go into full screen mode. · You can now use the up arrow key to move up to the title of the list. Also, when creating a list we automatically select the title for initial editing. · In the search results, if grouping by something other than idea space, the idea space title is listed next to each item in the result list. Notable Fixes: · Fixed curved line clipping problem with steep curves. · Full screen and mini mode options are now directly under the Windows menu instead of within a submenu. · Fixed some undo issues that could come up when using gestures on Mac laptops. · Fixed a problem where hierarchy colors would sometimes not render correctly if mind map branches were rearranged. · Fixed problem when trying to click on or drag-select a rotated line figure. · Fixed dossier display so long, multiline text labels are left justified. · Fixed a rare timing issue with images which could result in a paused/hung/partially rendered idea space. · Fixed a problem where assets could be left in your Library as Unused Assets if you delete an idea space. · Fixed a problem where assets could be left in your Library as Unused Assets if you delete figures from within a collection such as mind map or list. · You can now change the color of an URL asset figure but it is forced to be underlined (so it looks like a link) and it has to be some color and not simply black. We're doing this to make sure URL asset figure links look like actual links. · If you have a password protected project, you are now able to mail idea spaces or drag them into the stencils or idea space templates shelf.
