Campfire Pro Patch Notes — June 19, 2020
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Hello Storytellers,
*Sigh*
That’s right, we did it again. We can’t help it. Over eight months ago we said there would be no further updates… And we’ve continued to update Campfire Pro ever since. What can we say? We hear your requests, we appreciate all your continued support, and we want to make Campfire Pro the best software it can be.
The Navigation Toolbar
Going back and forth between views is easier than ever with the new navigation toolbar. This unobtrusive panel at the bottom of the screen has buttons that help you navigate backwards, forwards, go to any view you want, or add a new panel to the view you’re on. It’s pretty nifty! In the options you can choose whether to make it constantly on-screen or hidden until you move your mouse to the bottom of the screen.
View-Only Mode
Want to share your story with a friend who doesn’t have Campfire Pro? No problem. People who don’t own the software can now open Story files via Campfire -> Open Story from File. It is not possible to make changes to story files in View-Only mode.
QoL Improvements for Big Timelines
Some of your timelines are getting big… like… REALLY big. It’s awesome. To make your lives a little bit easier, we’ve made a few adjustments to the Timeline View:
- Added Timeline zoom using Ctrl + Scroll
- Added ability to right-click the Timeline and choose ‘Select All Events to the Right’ and similar commands for quick selection of large pieces of the Timeline.
Miscellaneous Changes
- Added preference for right-to-left text mode
- Added ability to hold Shift when clicking the X on a panel to delete something and avoid seeing the popup warning
- Added ability to multi-select character panels
- Fixed usability issues with dragging character panels
- Number of columns in Layout Options now saves as part of Templates
- Sidebar now remembers which folders are collapsed/expanded
- Added ability to add Magic Guidebook entries as Links and References (Only affects Worldbuilding Pack owners)
- Fixed a few Steam achievements (Only affects users on Steam)
We’ll continue to push out bug fixes for the foreseeable future, but we can’t guarantee there will be any further major updates to Campfire Pro. With the help of caffeine and the summer break, we’ve doubled down on building Campfire Blaze. We can’t wait for you to try out the beta in the coming months. Until then, keep working on your amazing stories. The world needs them.
