Outliner with drag/drop reordering - part 2

ihf

@cvp My first instinct was to place the cursor in front of the first character on the first line and hit return. however, that adds a blank line to the item (which is good), so I think the menu item is fine.

ihf

@cvp I know it is possible to hide or (only show) checked items but is there a way to sort on the completed check box? (i.e., to place the completed items at the end (or beginning)? I almost get this when I view the ended date and do a descending sort but that reorders the rest of the outline in descending order for some reason.

V01.26 and outline.versions with

Version V01.26
    - correction of bug "sorting on a date should not sort items without this
      date (fi: due date, end date)"

With this correction, do you still want a sort on the completed check box?

ihf

@cvp That works although it is multiple steps and the dates must be shown to do it. I’d say its not terribly important but a pure sort on the checkbox is what i envisioned . More important: I just noticed that there is a bug when you view the dates and you have items with multiple lines. The second line of an item becomes part of the next line. I can send an image if it would help.

You already got this error and you posted "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.".
I know that problem comes from computing TableView row's height which does not take in account that rows are sorted and I wanted to let this problem for the future version without TableView, and check if the problem still occurs.

Edit : I just tested with my new ScrollView version (still in development) and problem should disappear

ihf

@cvp oops, sorry about that. I guess I am dropping bits…so to speak 😕

cvp

@ihf No problem.

Suppose I can develop the sort on the completed check box witHout date, how do you imagine to ask that? I would like to not be obliged to add a sort button like 🔢.
I could add some options in the eye menu or in the popup menu.

ihf

@cvp I would say the eye menu is the most intuitive.

cvp

@ihf ok but do you agree to have 3 options: sort ascending/descending/no sort? To avoid a supplementary button

ihf

@cvp sure, that would be fine.

cvp

@ihf new V01.27 and outline.versions with

Version V01.27
  - add new options in eye menu to sort items on their completed checkbox,
    at beginning, at end, or reset without sort (same as 'Expand all')

Feed-back hoped

Now, if I modify outline.py, I also have to incorporate modifications in ScrollView version, still in development for some time. 😢

ihf

@cvp I just restarted outline (v1.25) and it did not tell me about a new version.

cvp

@ihf weird. Internet accessible ? Retry

ihf

@cvp I agree, very weird. I tried on iPhone and iPad (both have connectivity) and both are staying on v1.25 with no notice of an update.

ihf

@cvp I tried on another iPad where I had updated to v1.26 and it also does not tell me about v1.27. Something else change in v1.25?

cvp

@ihf did you not try the V01.26 just before the V01.27?

Édit: sorry, I crossed your previous post

cvp

@ihf I found the reason, I erroneously added a blank line at begin of .versions file.
Wait 1 minute please

cvp

@ihf ok, retry please

ihf

@cvp That did it. The new version looks good and does exactly what I was looking for. There appears to be one small glitch. When I sort by check boxes at beginning it works perfectly but when I do it at end, there is a blank line after the first of the checked (completed) lines. I tried on another outline and had a similar problem except it was when I did the sort to beginning and then the blank line (2 of them) were between the uncompleted items at the end. I tried on 3 more outlines and did not see the problem.

Would it be possible that the problem comes from the same problem of rows with multiple lines like the previous described in sort of dates? This problem is not solved at all.
Rows height is not correctly computed if sorted rows

Or is it possible that you have rows without box?
