Library: Your Personal Design Hub

We are excited to introduce Folio Library! This powerful new feature allows you to save, organize, and manage frequently used elements, making it easier than ever to streamline your creative process. Here is what you can do with the Library:

• Manage your library items: Store elements you often use and organize them right within Folio. With the Library, you can quickly add saved items to any board with just a click, ensuring consistency across your projects.
• Export your library items: Need to share or back up specific elements? Folio lets you choose which items to export and even give a custom name to your exported collection. This makes it simple to transfer specific design assets between projects or share them with colleagues.
• Import items to your Library: When you import items, they are automatically grouped as a collection within your Library, making them easy to find and manage. This means you can seamlessly bring in design assets from previous projects or collections and keep everything organized. The Library feature adds a new level of efficiency, allowing you to create, reuse, and organize elements effortlessly. It is designed to make your creative workflow smoother and more adaptable than ever.

Shift Key Enhancements

The Shift key now unlocks even more functionality for enhanced control over your designs:

• Aspect Ratio Preservation: When resizing shapes, images, and drawings, hold down the Shift key to maintain their original aspect ratio. Say goodbye to unintentional distortions!
• Snap Lines and Arrows to Key Angles: Adjusting the start or end point of lines and arrows with the Shift key pressed will now snap them to 15° increments. Perfect for creating clean and organized diagrams with precise alignment.

Text Element Improvements

Text elements now prevent unexpected word breaks, keeping your text neat and readable. Resizing text elements will maintain the aspect ratio, so your text looks consistent. Horizontal resizing remains flexible, allowing adjustments in width as needed.

Enhanced Screenshot mode

We have upgraded the screenshot feature to allow users to edit the selection area before downloading the image or copying it to the clipboard. This provides better control and flexibility.

New Settings menu

To streamline the main menu, we have moved all board configuration options (background color, show grid, show object dimensions, and snap to elements) to a brand-new Settings menu. This reorganization makes it easier to access and manage your board preferences.

Improved Element Handlers

We have polished the styles for element handlers, making resizing and managing elements on the board more intuitive and visually clear.

Duplicating Pages

We have added a highly requested feature: you can now duplicate entire pages within your whiteboard. This makes it easier than ever to create variations of your designs or work on multiple versions of your ideas without starting from scratch.

Fixed Selection Area Calculation for Curved Arrows

We have resolved an issue where the total selection area was incorrectly calculated when it included a curved arrow. Now, the selection area will be accurately reflected for all elements.

Fixed Image Export for Curved Arrows

We have also fixed a bug that caused curved arrows to be cropped when exporting the whiteboard to an image. Your exported images will now correctly include the full shape of curved arrows.

New Layers Panel

Introducing the Layers Panel, a powerful new feature that enhances your workflow by displaying all elements added to the board. This panel allows you to easily manage your elements, including changing the name, duplicating an element, or removing an element.

Displaying Object Dimensions

We have added the ability to view object dimensions for shapes, text, and for a selection. This new feature helps you achieve precise designs by displaying the width and height of selected objects directly on the board. Displaying dimensions can be enabled from Menu -> Object dimensions.

We have moved folio App to folio.josemi.xyz

We are excited to announce that Folio has a new home! The application has been migrated from josemi.xyz/folio to a dedicated subdomain: folio.josemi.xyz.
