In addition, a new information dialog named "Project Details" has been added. It replaces the "Details" tab in "Project Settings", and adds more information about the novel part of the project. In particular, a "Table of Contents" in the "Contents" tab displays a summary of the main parts and chapters of the project, their total word counts, and an estimated page count. This was made in response to users asking for ways to estimate the total page count of the project. The page count -is estimated based on the word count, and can be changed on the dialog window.

Since the tabs below the project tree now adds some extra room on the GUI, some convenient -buttons have been added, with direct access to "Project Details", "Writing Statistics" and "Project -Setting".
