Paperwing 1.2.2

A fix for opening files that changed, and smoother work with many PDFs open at once.

Fixed

  • Opening a file shows its latest version. If a PDF was already open in a tab and another app
    saved a new version of it (a resume regenerated under the same name, say), opening it again
    showed the old version until Paperwing was restarted. Paperwing now loads the new version in
    place, keeping your page and zoom, and asks first if the tab has unsaved changes.

Better

  • Same-named files told apart. Tabs and Home's Recent list show which folder each file is in
    when two have the same name, and hovering a tab shows its full path.
  • Know when a file changes. When another app saves a PDF you have open, Paperwing says so, with
    Reload to show the new version or Dismiss to keep working on yours.
  • No accidental overwrites. Saving asks first if another app saved a newer version since you
    opened it: replace it, save yours as a copy, or cancel.
  • Tab menu. Right-click a tab to close it, close the others or those to its right, show the
    file in File Explorer or Finder, copy its path, or reopen a document you closed.
  • The window remembers its place. Paperwing opens at the size and position you left it,
    maximized if it was.

Everything new in 1.2 (Acrobat-style toolbar menus, page actions on thumbnails, recovery of unsaved
edits, offline engines and OCR) is in the 1.2.0 release.
