PaperTrail for iOS/iPadOS (1.1, released)

OK. Since I am not used to TestFlight, this beta version will substitute to the one I bought on the App Store? And at the end how can I find again the regular paid version? Sorry for these obvious questions for you…

Edit: Bad news. I reproduced a bug where items duplicate like you may see (even if it is in French !). It happend when focusing on a sentence in a note.

And I cannot show all. The duplicates continue until to have only one letter:

Edit again: there was only 3 sentences in the file, still no project and no task. And the duplicates are beginning at the 3rd sentence (I think where I began focusing).

Can you reach me how to do this? What steps to do it?

These are great bugs that you are finding :ok_hand::blush:

Merci mec

TestFlight and App Store versions install over each other, no data is lost. To get App Store version just download it again from App Store and it will replace test version.

As said. I was trying focusing the 3rd sentence of this note. If I remember well, the cursor was not at the beginning of the line, but somewhere in the middle or at the end. Then it did not focused, but it’s made this stunning results.

Matt, I was wrong about “Archive Done” in TaskPaper. In TP this command is also applied globally, unfortunately! Sorry! It would of course be better if this command could be also applied to individual nodes in some use cases. As far as i know i`ts not possible at the moment.

Feedback on 1.1 has been exactly as I had hoped.

I have

  • 5 bugs that can be reproduced and will be squished (mostly from Super Tester Oli)
  • 5 issues to investigate and try to reproduce (more info on these would move them up the list of priorities)
  • an avenue to explore for open most recent file

Thanks to all involved. I expect the next TestFlight within the week, all going well.

I tried to reproduce the today’s “duplicates” bug with a new file, but I was unable to do it. It seems happening in a random way, what is normally impossible when it’s a question of coding. I hope you’ll find out what is happening (second time for me).

Meanwhile I shall not use anymore the app ‘till the problem will be solved - too dangerous for our precious data. I wish you good luck and I hope to be able to use again this beautiful app!

It’s my goal to find that one and fix it!

I’ll let you know when it’s in the can.

À bientôt

@GPHD @matt

I can reproduce the bug:

  1. Create a project

  2. Add a task

  3. Focus into the task

  4. Try to add a subtask

  5. The cursor jumps back and cannot be indented

  6. Start typing anything

  7. Indent using the Tab key

  8. Focus out

  9. Voilà: The text is duplicated up to the last character.

Fixed :sweat_smile:, will be in the next build!

More to do before then

All known bugs have been fixed (as well as some similar edge cases). I think it would be interesting to explain them, as they were all quite similar edge cases or oversights on my part. And one typo!

Will do so tomorrow.

Edit: also got “open most recent document” working! From Spotlight, and soon other places. :face_holding_back_tears:

Hello

Hmmm, I found out another small bug… that seems random as well (even if we know it’s not). Let’s take a file big enough in order to be able to scroll the text.

  1. Scroll the text and edit it toward the end. The keyboard is on.
  2. Try to scroll toward the beginning of the file with the keyboard on screen.
  3. Most of the time (but not always), the scrolling doesn’t work and you remain at the cursor location.
  4. In order to scroll you have to hide the keyboard.

Let’s see if you and Oli can reproduce the bug.

A suggestion: on the bottom bar (on top of the keyboard), could you move the keyboard button at first place on the left ? It’s really annoying each time you want to hide the keyboard to have to scroll horizontally so far!

I can reproduce this one. It’s very inconsistent. :tada:

I’m also working to make the “long swipe down to hide keyboard” (standard system gesture) work more consistently. In fact, I think they’re both the same problem.

You can move the keyboard button in the TestFlight version (using help screen you can toggle and move buttons).

There’s so much in this next version I should have called it 2.0 not 1.1. :laughing:

I cannot load the TestFlight version. It is written “The beta program is complete”.

Regarding the shortcut to move a entire subtree up/down:

Taskpaper: cmd/opt/ctrl

Papertrail: cmd/ctrl/shift

I should add: In TaskPaper, you can also move the entire subtree using Cmd/Ctrl. However, the condition is that the subtree is collapsed. If the subtree is expanded, you also have to hold down the Opt key to avoid leaving the poor child nodes alone. :slightly_smiling_face: I hope that makes sense.

Have spent the morning making keyboard shortcuts match as much as I can, there were half a dozen or so that varied slightly.

Out now on TestFlight…

Version 1.1 (260503.1625)

  • add: command palette
  • add: focus bar above the editor
  • add: iPad edit menu and dark/light UI colours
  • add: automation hooks to open specific or most recent document
  • add: scoped archive and persisted sidebar fold state
  • add: keyboard shortcut parity with TaskPaper
  • add: new editor commands and start-tag support
  • add: movable keyboard accessory button
  • add: aggregate tag computation is now aware of visible lines
  • change: improved home navigation during search
  • change: mid-line Enter splits the current item
  • change: faster handling of deeply nested documents and OPML import
  • change: improved file conflict resolution
  • fix: sidebar disclosure icon sizing tap area
  • fix: focused-item folding now hides subtree text
  • fix: folding siblings of the focused item
  • fix: editing a focused item no longer corrupts surrounding text
  • fix: move-to-project, second-focus, and mid-edit projection bugs
  • fix: stale text after replacement
  • fix: key chord routing whist adding additional shortcuts
  • chore: many test additions (fuzz, invariants, fold remap, projection round-trip, branch editing, return-key handling, large documents)

Still working on Import from Reminders, sorry lost track of who asked for that but I think it’s a cool/useful feature.

Great, but as said, I cannot enter anymore in TestFlight. What can I do ?

Edit: two times that question, but still no answer. Are you here, Matt?
