Outliner with drag/drop reordering - part 2
-
@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)

@cvp I downloaded manually and I'm back on v.1.17. I will test the date picker functionality now.
