Outliner with drag/drop reordering

@ihf said:
new outline item would automatically be formed although no return had been pressed.
Either I don't understand (surely true), either this does not occur for me
-
@cvp on the theory that a picture (in this case, a video) is worth 1000 words:
https://vimeo.com/575803531
You will see that in this video the text entered before reaching the edge of the split screen is lost. However, the problem manifested itself differently when I first reported it. Instead of losing the text, the script started a new outline item with the text entered at the edge of the screen. Hopefully, these problems are somehow related.I have no idea what the post from manupaul47 is about.
-
@ihf you don't loose the text and it does not generate a new item.
When you type a text larger than the available screen width (full or half), the text continues in a (soft ) second line in the same outline.
You can try to scroll the text area to see the first line back.
And the, type a real return and you will see the two soft lines in only one outline -
@cvp Yes, in the example I posted, you are correct that the text is there and scrolling back will reveal it. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the phenomenon of it creating new outline items with new numbers. If it happens again, I will try to capture a video.
-
@ihf what I explained with a real enter is visible on a small screen like an iPhone but not with split screen. The script is not warned of the half screen width like for a rotation. Even right buttons are not visible.... annoying .

@ihf little bug when computing height of TableView row with a long line, will be corrected soon

In reality the two lines of text belong to the first outline and the 2nd outline is empty.
Because the height of the text is bigger than the height of the TableView row height...
Weird but so, will be corrected too.This image only to show effect
-
@ihf when you are in split view, you get an automatic (soft) line feed when you reach the right side of the screen. I don't get it and I don't know why...
-
@ihf when split view, positions of menu buttons were not recomputed as your video shows it (right buttons are missing)
That will be corrected in next version, even in portrait mode in split view

@cvp I opened an outline with v 0.46 on the iPhone and with the keyboard on the bottom half of the screen I was not able to scroll the outline up so that I could see what I was typing in a new entry.
-
@ihf I have problems with the keyboard hiding rows of the TableView and no more free time actually, sorry.
Hoping you have other functionalities to test.
Have a good week-end -
@cvp I read through the 3000+ lines this morning. Very impressive work! Lots of cool things that you have learned here.
There are three instances of
for i in range(len(items)):
that could all be made simpler withfor i, item in enumerate(items):
Bon week-end.

Stored in my todo list (but sometimes, item is not needed) but I'm sure I'll forget it in a future project...

@ihf New V00.47 available with
Version V00.47 - add a "dismiss keyboard" key to iPhone kyboard to see all rows for editing - follow @ccc advice about "for i, item in enumerate(items):" - correction of bug "info button of format types did not react"
This should allow you to dismiss the keyboard on iPhone to access any row for editing.
Tell me if that helps
-
@cvp I love this program! I have begun using it for “real” outlines and the only bug I have experienced is that (on the iPad) when I reach the RHS of the screen, a long outline item shows the last few words that belong on a new line. It is all there but shows up after I go to the next outline item. I will be using it more frequently in the next few days and I’ll let you know if anything comes up.
Old issue: when keyboard is active on iPad in landscape mode, the bottom of outline is hidden or only the bottom of the outline as shown at top of screen with no abilty to scroll the view to see items above. Please let me know If a video would make this more clear.
Add to wish list (if not already there):
Ability to have web links that open in browser view.
Ability to embed images -

Wow...To be discussed: how to identify images, at which size, where, etc..,

@ihf please download new File_Picker, it will be needed by V00.48 (coming soon)
