Moving towards the goal.

As a pure conversion tool it works great 95% of the time and does exactly what it promises.

As an editor, it is pleasant to work in.

--- UPDATE:

Lots of fixes! Centered text can now have an underscore; transitions now work as they should; fast scrolling doesn’t crash the app; hooray and thank you (one star extra)!

We now have auto-split for dialog, with (MORE) and (CONT’D) — nice!

One question: margins seem to have changed since the last version, is there an way to modify those somewhere?

Hey, why still just three stars?

This old issue still stands: while swithing between preview and editing mode, Highland often loses track of where in the script you were and snaps you to the beginning of the script. That is despite there always being an internal indicator — in preview mode Highland shows the page number, and in editing mode where you are typing. Those could be used for seamless switching.

There is still some crashing going on, mainly when switching between preview and editing mode.

The dialog auto-split now and then duplicates dialog — sometimes a short dialog line at the end of the page will get a (MORE) and then will be repeated at the beginning of the next page.

A completely new weird bug with scene headings. Sometimes, scene headings get treated as charater names and the action paragraph after them as dialog. This seems to be happenning especially when (and despite) the heading being “forced” with a preceding “.”

New bug — scene headings sometimes stay orphaned at the bottom of a page — defintely a problem!

Highland is getting there, though. Keep up the good work!

I am running the latest version of Highland (1.5.6) on 10.9 Mavericks.

Without these bugs, Highland would easily be a 5-star App.
