Outliner with drag/drop reordering

[ihf]

I am looking for an outliner tool (app) that would permit me to create an outline using either the Roman numeral (I. A. a., ii. ) or numeric format (1. 1.1 1.11 1.111). and that would support drag and drop reordering of items. I have searched unsuccessfully for such an app. I think this ought to be possible with Pythonista but I am not skilled enough to do that. Has anyone done this with Pythonista or seen an app to do this?

I'm curious why that broke -- are you holding onto a reference to the text view itself? That seems dangerous unless you store tableviewcells after creation so that you can reuse the actual cell and its contents when cell_for_row is called.

@JonB sorry, never seen this post. I'm in holidays for some days. i'll answer this weekend

No but I store the TableView row into the InputAccessoryView. Then, when a key is pressed in the supplementary keyboard row, I can call textview_should_change with the right row which is the index in TableView. And I don't need anything more, even the TextView it-self.

@cvp when I type a new outline item, and I hit the return, the keyboard disappears. I think it would be better if the keyboard remained so that you could continue typing since you are positioned on the next outline line. Does that make sense?

Yes sir. I had remarked this problem yesterday, sorry for you. I'll try to correct it tomorrow.
That should be an old bug and I can't remember if I have already tried to solve it, and if yes, obviously without success

@ihf V01.04 and outline.versions with

Version V01.04
  - correction of bug "keyboard was disappearing after an enter 
    to create a new outline row"

This bug was not so old, it should have appeared from V00.96 when I removed the undo/redo process and a part of this process variables is checked for cursor process.

@cvp This is a (low priority) idea for the wish list: I sometimes want to read my outlines on the Mac. What I do now is save them in pdf or some other format that the Mac understands. This works fine but I have to remember to do it after any change so that the outline will be up-to-date. A reader script in python would permit me to view an outline on the Mac or on anything that runs python and has access to the iCloud files.

Given that this is the 1,002nd entry in this thread, perhaps it would be good to stop adding to this thread and create a new one to continue the discussion.
The Forum software is not very efficient at buffering up and paginating tons of content especially when it contains images. Thoughts?
