Outliner with drag/drop reordering - part 2
-
@ihf Sid:
setting and unsetting due dates from the same device is ok as a temporary measure
The problem that will follow is that, if I change the way to identify an event, by an unique value cross devices, What do do with old events? Support old way and new way or only new way?
And, it is probable that I'll begin with outlines events for Apple Watch, less important if bugs.
And you will need to be patient. I'm less motivated than at the begin of the development.
-
@cvp I dont think you should worry about “legacy” implementations (LOL).
I hope you are still enjoying development of what has become a very useful program. -
@ihf do you agree if for set/unset/update a due date event, I don't use anymore a separate datepicker nor an unset button but directly the standard event editor screen where you can
- delete the event (equivalent to unset)
- add a new or update and save an existing event
Or do you prefer I keep the datepicker, it's unset butTon and a new details buTton to get The standard event editor screen?
you are still enjoying development
New features, yes
-
@cvp my personal preference would be the latter, keep the current ability to set and unset but allow the addition of details through the event editor panel.

@ihf sad:

When I'll modify the way I check an unique cross devices identifier, in a not immediate future, that will say you would no more be able to update events of old way. Or I don't understand your sentence.

@ihf V01.17 and outline.versions with
Version V01.17 - a new 'details' button in the datepicker (set due date) view, will allow to add/update/delete an event via the standard event editor, so all fields like second alarm and repetition would be available - unset a due date will delete the associated event with all its future occurnces - when a row is pasted, if it had a due date (and event), the new row will not have its due date set, thus no new event will be added
Please, do some tests with
- set datepicker then tap outside
- tap unset
- tap details
- with new event: add, cancel
- with existing event: save, cancel, delete
And give me some feedback. If no problem, I'll begin to study protection via a cross devices id.

@cvp I know you’re not thrilled to hear about bugs but just now I opened an outline and double clicked on a word in the last item and the keyboard appeared (portrait mode on iPhone) and covered the line that I was editing. This may be an old problem but then I realized that the outline had three different lines at level 1.0 and two of those had child nodes at 1.1. I don’t know how the outline got this way but other than deleting and starting over I’m not sure how I would fix it either.

Oups. Not easy for me to understand the problem, thus to solve it. Sorry

@cvp I can't send the actual outline but There a re multiple lines that say 1.0 (4 of them at different places in the outline. It may be related to using the 1st level is not part of the outline?

I think it is normal.
The 1st level does not have outline, Thus 2nd level begins with numbers of 1st level.
Aaa
1.0
2.0
Bbb
1.0
2.0 -
@cvp If I turn on "1st level has outline" it turns itself back off after I leave the menu.
-
@ihf see my previous edited post
-
@cvp Yes, that makes sense, but I can't turn it back on...what am I forgetting?
-

Remember that when you change the switch on <-> off, you have to reselect thé format
-
@cvp Yes, I did that but it still goes back to off.
-
@ihf I don't have this problem, sure that you do that in one display
-

You are righT, this is a bug but only on iPhone, try on your iPad to confirm
Only I can do today is to add it on my todo list...
-
@cvp OK, I webt to the iPad and it does indeed work there and "fixes" the outline. However, I came up with a different problem there. I was running v.13 and the script asks to update to v1.17. It then say V1.17 has been installed and I then close nd restrat the program but it does the same thing again. I can manually download v1.17 but I wonder why it is suddenly having this problem (or did I forget something?)

No idea comes to me, but now in my list. Late for me, thus .... later (not sure at all it could be tomorrow)
