Outliner with drag/drop reordering

@ihf said:
Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the phenomenon of it creating new outline items with new numbers.
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 -

Already there but they open in Safari..

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)
-
@cvp Got it. A few problems:
-
On the iPad when I open an existing Outline in Landscape mode that is longer than 1/2 the screen, the keyboard hides the portion of the Outline at the bottom where you would add new items.If I then hide the keyboard, the full outline appears and then if I touch the text in the last item, the display changes to show only the last 2 lines of the outline. If I hide the keyboard at that point, I get the Outline back but if I touch text again the keyboard comes back with 1/2 the outline and it cannot be scrolled at all.
-
I save an outline to iCloud on iPad and then go to IPhone but do not see the outline I just saved. Is it now necessary for me to go back to Files to download it? That may be outside your control but it is very inconvenient to always remember to do that if you are going from one device to the other.
-
On the iPhone in portrait mode, the keyboard hides the bottom half of an outline and the outline cannot be scrolled. Similar to iPad behavior above, if I hide keyboard, I can see the outline and then if I touch text in one of the last lines all but the last few lines are shown at top. This is usable but a bit anomalous as compared with other apps. I realize you are probably working within Pythonista (and Apple) constraints so there may not be a fix but I thought it was worth pointing out. The behavior I would intuitively expect is to be able to scroll the outline when the keyboard is visible to see any portion and to be able to set the text insertion anywhere without the outline being shifted.
Question: what are the .old files that are being created (and which I delete)?

Yes, but I can't do anything (that I know) to solve it,

I have already tried a lot. I don't say it is impossible but Until now, I didn't find a better way

@ihf New V00.48 available with
Version V00.48 - modified File_Picker to support in the browser - Pythonista local - Pythonista iCloud - On my iDevice - iCloud Drive - no more setting "folder choice" - no more import Folder_Picker
don't be upset if you have a problem, I programmed this version having the last drink of my vacation with my tribe

@cvp related to the above...I opened an outline on the iPad (in Landscape mode). The display is approx 1/2 filled by the outline, when I touch the text in the last entry so that I can hit return to add an item, the keyboard appears and the new item (where I am typing) is mostly obscured by the keyboard display. The Outline display is not scrollable to make that line visible.
-
@cvp By the way, I know I keep telling you about bugs/anomalies but I should also say that I am using Outline for actual work and it is already enormously helpful. Thank you!
