Outliner with drag/drop reordering
-
@cvp I never edited the files outside of the app. It’s conceivable that I tried to change the format of a line using whatever you make available but I don’t even recall doing that. Enjoy your Apero!

-
@cvp I edited the above post to properly display the .txt file
-
@ihf thanks, but I don't understand how you got such a file.
.content is not correct... -
@cvp I have no idea. I never edited the .content file directly . I guess if it doesn’t happen again we can call it an anomaly :-)
-
@cvp unfortunately I don’t know how to fix the .content so that I can use that outline (with the actual content, not abc).
-
@ihf try to open it, change to format alpahnumeric, then to format decimal

@cvp here is an interesting bug. I figured I would create a new outline and in order to make it easy, I opened a split screen on the iPad with the text on one side and a notepad with the text on the other. However, when I type the text on the Pythonista side, a new outline item is started whenever I get to the RHS of the screen.

Sorry, I don't understand

when I try to do an open from my iPhone, no response and the script never presents the file picker and it can’t be closed
It seems that, on iPhone, the file_picker dialog is presented in fullscreen on outline window also in fullscreen and this case does not work.
But, if you run outline on iPhone with .txt as argument, the open file dialog works because it is presented before the outline screen. This can be a temporary workaround but I've stored the problem in my todo list.
Edit : solved in V00.45, see next post

I'll decide this week-end, I hope, because enough busy with my smala visiting me.

@cvp I wanted to re-enter an outline while looking at the.txt file so I opened the.txt file in an editor (actually I copied and pasted the text into an editor). With that on half of the screen (using the iOS split screen capability) the other half of the screen had Pythonista. As I typed the outline items into the outline I found that when I got to the right hand side of the split screen, rather than continue the outline item, a new outline item would automatically be formed although no return had been pressed.
-
@ihf do you Know from where comes the post just before yours?

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 .
