New in Version 1.3: --------------------------- > Automatic iCloud Backups (Pro): Daily drafts now silently sync to a dedicated "PaperDraft" folder in iCloud Drive as proprietary .pdfe files. > Multi-File Import/Restore (Pro): A new file importer in Settings allows users to select and restore multiple past .pdfe backups simultaneously, mapping them perfectly to their correct calendar dates. > True Rich Text (.rtf) Export Fix: Re-engineered the Share Sheet engine to generate physical .rtf files. > Dynamic Export Labels: The export menu now intelligently reads the calendar and updates to say "Export Today's Draft" or "Export [Specific Date]" depending on the page currently being viewed. > Expanded Premium Typography (Pro): Added three new typography choices to the font engine: Monospaced, Modern Sans (Avenir), and Typewriter. > Instant Theme Switching Fix: Applied a hard-refresh ID tie to the Settings view, completely fixing the bug where text would become unreadable (e.g., white text on a white background) when switching between dark and light themes.
