NeoOffice 2.2.4 New Features
From NeoWiki
After we added many new features in March's NeoOffice 2.2.3 release, we have continued work on additional features for our users like the horizontal scrollwheel support included in NeoOffice 2.2.3 Patch 2.
In early May 2008 we plan to release NeoOffice 2.2.3 Patch 3 with the following new features:
Both of these new features will be available in Patch 3 for users running Mac OS X 10.4.x and higher. A screen snapshot of these new features is shown below:
Special thanks go to all who have donated to the NeoOffice.org project since our we released NeoOffice 2.2.3. Without everyone's donations, not only would we have been unable to implement the these new features, we would not have been able to provide rapid investigation and fixing of significant bugs found by users.
Media Browser support
Many Mac OS X users have found Apple's iLife Media Browser very useful and we have received many requests to include the same feature in NeoOffice. Fortunately, the generous people at Karelia Software have developed the iMedia Browser and we have integrated their iMedia Browser into NeoOffice.
Once you open the Media browser by clicking on the new Show Media Browser toolbar button or selecting the new Tools :: Add-ons :: Show Media Browser menu, a floating window will appear from which you can drag your images, movies, sound files, or links directly into a NeoOffice document.
In addition, you can drag files from the Finder or your desktop directly into a NeoOffice document and, if NeoOffice understands the format of the file, the contents of the file will be inserted into your document.
Native floating tool windows
Previously, many NeoOffice floating tool windows such as the Styles and Formatting and the Color windows looked and behaved like document windows. Also, other floating tool windows such as the Bullets and Numbering and the Table windows looked and behaved like Windows floating too windows.
Starting with Patch 3, all floating tool windows in NeoOffice will be native floating tool windows. This means that they will look and behave like floating tool windows in most other Mac OS X applications. They will have the small window titlebar, all of the floating tool windows will float above the document windows, and when NeoOffice is not the active application, all of the floating tool windows will automatically be hidden until NeoOffice becomes the active application again.
