Outliner with drag/drop reordering - part 2
-
-
@ihf I suppose that you don't use anymore on Apple Watch the shortcut to display outlines from the calendar events of 2022/01/01 because it does not work anymore. On Apple Watch the shortcut action to get a calendar event of the past does not work... Running the same shortcut on iPad/iPhone works. I could change the Pythonista script to store the outlines in calendar events in 2100 (far in the future) but you should need to manually move the existing events of 2022/01/01 to this future date.
-
@ihf when I say "not for me" in my answers to your new bugs, I mean that I don't meet these problems and the difference could come from some process done just before.
-
@cvp "not for me" equals the dreaded "works for me" (LOL).
I would like to use the Watch to view my Outlines. When it stopped working on the watch, I resorted to the phone. -
@ihf said
When it stopped working on the watch
Did I forget or did you never tell me it stopped to work?
-
@cvp I searched but couldn't find where (or if) I told you about it so it was probably my memory, not yours.
-
@ihf Anyway, do you agree if:
- I create a new version of script which will store future outlines on 01 January 2100 01:01:00
but please no immédiate run before the run of the shortcut of point 2
- I create a shortcut to run only once before anything else
The shortcut will move all existing outlines from 01 January 2022 to 01 January 2100 - I modify existing outlines shortcut, which runs on your Apple Watch, to display outlines of 01 January 2100
If you agree, could you tell me how much outlines events you have at 01 January 2022
If you agree, I'll do that tomorrow
I have to test if Apple Watch shortcut agrees to get a so far event
- I create a new version of script which will store future outlines on 01 January 2100 01:01:00
-
@cvp That sounds great. I have 10 outlines in the calendar.
-
@ihf ok, I don't do anything more today, you'll get news tomorrow. Bye
-
@ihf Thus this procedure will allow to store outlines as calendar events on 01 January 2042.
I guess an hope that you will no more use my script in 20 years. I've tested the script and shortcuts and all has been ok, even on Apple Watch. But you have to follow this procedure in the right sequence.-
run this shortcut which will move all your outlines from calendar events 2022/01/01 into 2042/01/01
Personally, I ran it on my iPad and the events have been moved on my iPhone only 10 minutes later, thus be patient. -
replace your outlines shortcut by this modified one which display outlines calendar event of 2042/01/01. And is ok also on Apple Watch.
Here also, I've been obliged to wait some time before shortcut has been updated on my IPhone and thus on my watch -
install new V01.35 and outline.versions with
Version V01.35 - outlines will be saved in calendar event on 01 January 2042 in place of 01 January 2022 because Outlines Shortcut on Apple Watch does not allow to get calendar events in the past, only future events.

@cvp The new Outline shortcut works fine on the phone but on the watch I get a blank screen. I thought perhaps it hadn’t updated the shortcut yet so I duplicated the new shortcut which shows up immediately on the watch but still shows a blank screen.
-
@ihf that's what I said: I think you have to wait a long time before your calendar is synchronized on your iPhone
Check your calendar on iPhone and the shortcut which could also be not yet synchronized
I guess you first ran the one shot shortcut to move events to 2042
-
@cvp yes, after moving the outlines, the new Outlines shortcut runs fine on the iPad and iPhone. On the Watch, blank screen with the new Shortcut.
-
@ihf weird. If you have checked that the outlines shortcut on your iPhone reads 2042 events and that outline are now stored in 2042 events, the only solution is to remove shortcut app from the Apple Watch memory and retry, or to restart the Apple Watch. Please confirm you know how to perform both actions
-
@cvp force quit watch and restarted it. No change.
-
@ihf but did you check that the iPhone shortcut reads 2042 events and that events are stored at 2042/01/01?
And you said that you have duplicated a shortcut, sure you run the right one. There must be an easy explanation as usual and we look in the bad direction
-
@cvp this is very strange. If I go to the calendar,the events are no longer at January 1, 2022 but have been moved to 2042. The shortcut works fine. However, if for example on the iPad I do a search for one of the outlines it shows up in the search results as being on January 1, 2022 although it is not in the calendar on that date. It’s as if the search and the actual contacts are not in sync with one another. Perhaps, as you suggested, waiting will fix the problem. I’ll try again a little later and see if it changes.

@ihf said
search for one of the outlines
Not sure that search function in Apple calendar app searches so far in the future.
-
@ihf Sure you don't have two IPhones 😢?
-
@ihf You said you duplicate the shortcut. Sure that you use the modified one on your watch? Easy to add a log only to be sure
What you describe is that all is ok on calendar and iPhone but not on Apple Watch like if you still used on Watch a shortcut reading unexisting 2022 events (ex: read 2022 while they are 2042)
