Outliner with drag/drop reordering - part 2
-
@cvp I sometimes take notes in another app and I want them to be an Outline so an easy way to import them would be very useful.
-
@ihf I understand the request, I already think about it, but so long time I did not touch this script 😢
-
@ihf You know that there is a way to copy selected lines of an outline and paste them via the popup menu.
I'll try to reuse this code but I need to differentiate both cases. Not a little work
-
@cvp The thing I really miss is undo/redo but I know you said that was a major issue.
-
@ihf yes, I can understand but I think that you can forget it,
unfortunately because it had never correctly worked with TableView where I have to delete/insert rows, but in the future, if ScrollView work with my own array of rows, who can say... -
@ihf new V01.33 and outline.versions with
Version V01.33 - add new "paste_text" option in popup menu to add multiple rows after the selected one by copying several lines from another note/text
-
@cvp I tried copying some text from another notes app and went to Outline. It pasted the text perfectly. However, if I click on the outline level to get the menu (on iPhone) it no longer displays properly.

What does that mean ? Example? Perhaps I need to shorten the line if too long
-
@cvp I created a new outline and when I touch 1.0 to get the menu I got this:
-
@ihf Could you try to copy a text of some short lines, I think the problem comes from very long lines
-
@cvp It worked and displayed the Paste option with a few words and ...although it added 4 extra blank outline elements after the text.

Don't understand. Do you mean that you did not copy some lines that are pasted?
I'll shorten to max 20 characters the first copied line in the menu but I'll paste all full copied lines -
@cvp It worked fine when I copied several shorter lines (the extra lines were actually in the copied text so that is not a bug). I guess the problem is that when the lines are long it ruins the menu display.
-
@ihf see remark in edited previous post
-
@cvp that would be great. I'll test it after you make the change.
-
@ihf new V01.34 and outline.versions with
Version V01.34 - shorten to maximum 20 characters of the first copied line but paste all full copied lines -
@cvp C'est parfait! Merci!!
-
@cvp I just noticed that if I go to Settings or Show only if Level, and touch Done, I get an AttributeError (no attribute close).
Unrelated, I may have forgotten, but is there a way to delete an outline from within the script or Do I use Files app to delete it? -
@cvp also got an IndexError when I went to menu and did Delete with Children.

😭never ending story
Édit: not for me, depends perhaps on what we did before, line number?
