Outliner with drag/drop reordering - part 2

ihf

@cvp I was certain I had but I went back to do it again just to be sure before I answered your question. Instead of confirming, I got the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/05D14C00-CCAC-4E98-A3CC-96C6944B8534/Pythonista3/Documents/outline.py", line 1146, in layout

    ordered_args = list(args) + [kwargs[key] for key in kwarg_order]
TypeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object is not iterable ```

I don’t think this has anything to do with the sorting question, since it appears even after I force quit Pythonista and start again.

@cvp I got it to run again and , yes the display I posted is after hitting the sort button

@ihf One of the usual Pythonista crashes for which, I think, my script is not responsible. I'm sorry for you and I would understand that you stop to use this program. It uses almost all internal functionalites of Pythonista, is big, uses a lot of memory, and crashes too much in not reproducible ways.

ihf

@cvp I can live with occasional crashes. (Just wish that @omz would reappear or let someone have the source to Pythonista). In any case, does the sort order look right to you?

cvp

@ihf did

yes the display I posted is after hitting the sort button

I don't think so, the sort button changes from 🔽 to 🔼 after you to it.

ihf

@cvp yes, it cycles thru up, down, and numeric.

cvp

@ihf yes, but the image you posted shows the button as 🔽, that will say the next tap will give a descending sort, actual is no sort

ihf

@cvp OK, so the button that shows is not the way it is sorted, but how it would be sorted if you hit the button? Not what I would have expected. However this has just surfaced a different bug. I went back and hit Expand All and the top line of icons is (mostly) gone.

ihf

@cvp but the sort does work (once I realize that the button is showing what will be not what is).

ihf

@cvp it happened a few times, but now I can't reproduce it reliably so I guess it is not worth spending time on.

Do you prefer that it should show what the sort is?

ihf

@cvp Yes, I would prefer that but now that I know what it is, I could live with it.

@ihf V01.23 and outline.versions with

Version V01.23
  - icon of dates sort button now shows the actual sort order, not the order if
    button would be tapped

ihf

@cvp If my outline is collapsed and I select view by completion date, and then select sort button to change to sort down, the display gets messed up in that lines are overlapping.

It seems that lines after sort keep height of initial order, I don't understand why because I recompute their height in tableview_cell_for_row delegate

Édit: but I guess that ObjectiveC code of TableView also calls it again. Very annoying.

ihf

@cvp I am glad to see that you are maintaining a sense of humor. (or at least I hope you are).

cvp

@ihf said

or at least I hope you are

I also hope it is humor, not instinct

Obviously, I should have to advice: don't collapse, don't sort, don't.....

cvp

@ihf Version mac_outline_viewer.py V00.04 with

  V0.04
    - use a dropdown selector to choose which dates to show

Thanks to you, I have had to use my poor JavaScript and HTML5
Feed-back hoped

@cvp I wonder if updates are not being made on the main thread...

You can try beginUpdates() before updating your data (adding or deleting rows) then end updates() after reloading on the tableview ObjCInstance)
