Updated Import Status Interface
We moved the import status panel to the bottom left to let you keep an eye on your imports while you work in the apps. Previously, you needed to hide the panel or else it would overlap on your library. You also can easily see if there are any errors and how many successfully imported at a glance.
Import CSV to a List
Using the import panel in the desktop app, you can now import CSV files directly into a specific list within a library.
Easily export multiple PDF files
Simply highlight multiple articles in your library, right click and go to Export as... to see the new export options. If you have annotated any of the PDFs you have the option to export the PDF file with or without annotations.
Open PDF files with "Open With" context menu
For Mac users, you can now easily open PDF files with Papers directly from the Finder. Simply right-click a PDF file, go to Open With and select Papers from the list of applications.
Easily Send to Papers in the Print Dialog
On Mac OS, you have a new way to send documents to Papers. From any application, go to Print and then choose the menu at the bottom to select "Send to Papers." Your document will automatically be imported into your Papers library.
