We also re-designed the IGB start screen. Now, when you start IGB for the first time, you'll see a new start screen that provides quick and easy access to a variety of model organisms, helping new users jump right in.
Credit for this new interface go to Jeremy Villalobs (programming), David Norris (programming), and Ann Loraine (design and image editing).
Better Bookmarks:
Bookmarks now support comments for each bookmark and for bookmark folders. This allows users to give bookmarks easy-to-remember names, but also allows users to make notes on what they see or even what lab the bookmarks were imported from. Add Bookmark still offers 2 options of Position Only which simple remembers the genomic location or a Position and Data bookmark, an enhanced bookmark remembers and re-loads location AND data sets that were in the original scene (provided they are available). Right clicking on the Position and Data bookmark will open the properties window with a listing of the files that were loaded, as well as time/date created and genome version that was in use. In combination with the redesigned panel, users will find Bookmarks to be more helpful for visualizing, analyzing and sharing data than ever.
