Outliner with drag/drop reordering - part 2
-
@ihf Even if I can have a shortcut action "set Outlines.name outline_content", thus at level lower than top level of DataJar, I don't find an action to get list of keys of this Outlines level
-
@cvp What happens if you have a key in Data Jar that in turn has a value of a dictionary and the key values in the dictionary are the Outline names with their content. Then the shortcut to get a value based on key from Data Jar would get you the dictionary and the shortcut to get values from a dictionary would get you the outline text. Would that work?
-
@ihf Not sure I understand your question but I have solved I think to have a dictionary named Outlines at store level and dictionary contains pairs key=name value=data.
Outline.py will stay the same but the 3 shortcuts need to be updated.
First,
Clean manuallyyour outlines in your DataJar- the shortcut to run only once Outlines 2042 Events to DataJar
Run it and check your DataJar
- the shortcut to select an outline and display its content, even on Apple Watch
- the shortcut executed by outline.py
-
@cvp It works! Thank you!
-
@ihf so i deserved my vacation 😀
-
@cvp many times over :-)
-
@ihf please note that I've been obliged to run DataJar on my iPhone to see the outlines on my watch. Not sure it will always be so
Tell me when you want I comment/remove the code to store also the outlines as 2042 event
-
@cvp I am using the latest version which is running the shortcut properly. I have an outline with a blank item at the end and if I try to delete it through the menu “delete with children” it hangs the program.
-
@ihf I just try the same without problem.
But, from last iOS update, I meet sometimes some hangs, even when starting the script.
Removing Pythonista from memory does not solve the problem but rebooting the iPad does the job.
Don't ask me why. I guess that without any Pythonista update, we will meet this kind of problem more frequently. -
@ihf We have got a lot of crashes but never, as I remember, hangs. Is it reproducible after the reboot of the iDevice ?

@ihf said

Did you retry after a reboot of the iPad?
-
@cvp It appears to be working now.
-
@ihf very quick post from my room in Italy: it works without any action or after a reboot?
-
@cvp I hope that you enjoyed (or are still enjoying) your vacation. Unfortunately, the script is freezing rather frequently now. I’m not even sure what a minimal failing case is. I thought it was when I tried to delete an empty last item but I have seen it freeze at other times as well. I know this is not what you wanted to hear.
-
@ihf two last days in vacation. As I said, I meet frequent freezings with Pythonista, even with other scripts or even at script start since last iOS update. Sincerely, I don't have any Idea how I could solve this kind of problems.
-
@ihf I'm back from vacation but I brought the Covid with me 😢, thus I'll need some time before I'm really back on the ScrollView version.
-
-
@cvp i’m so sorry to hear that. I hope you have a very mild case. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

@ihf I'm still very tired due to the Covid and I can't concentrate enough to dive back into the ScrollView version of outline.py yet. And then, I see the new version 18.0 of Pyto arriving and I say to myself sadly that we will probably not see any new version of Pythonista while the young age of the developer of Pyto gives hope for a long future for her app. I wonder if it is worth spending more time modifying outline.py in Pythonista or should I decide to (try to) convert to Pyto, despite the fact that I know it will require a very major effort. Just thinking about it is already tiring me out. Could you give me your sincere opinion, thanks.
