yWriter Alpha 7.1.7.1

[Simon Haynes]

7.1.7.1 Alpha, added versioning to the Editor window. 

You can save the current scene content as a new version, plus view all saved version on the new Versions tab.

To transfer a version back to the scene window, just select the relevant version from the dropdown to display it, then copy and paste the content manually.

This is a very new feature that took me about half an hour to implement, but it seems to work just fine.  Bear in mind your project file will grow fast if you keep saving more and more versions of large scenes, but that really shouldn't be a problem as a 100,000 word novel only runs to a 1mb file.

With this release I also added a /docx commandline switch to automatically save the specified project as a docx file.

e.g.

yWriter7.exe "my project title.yw7" /docx /noui

This will create a docx in that project's Export folder using the project's filename as the output file. E.g. in this case, "my project file.docx"

(yWriter already has /epub and other commandline switches available for those of you used to dos batch files or editing shortcuts.)

The /noui switch prevents yWriter from displaying the program during the export.

Cheers

Simon
