Lots of code and UI changes. Be on the lookup for bugs due to all the code changes (rewrote the entire native side of TaskPaper in Swift). And let me know what you think of UI changes, right now they are all fresh and easy to tweak.
Note Original release was (234), but I messed up code signing for that release. I think it’s fixed in (236), but you might have to manually update, from the download link at the end of this post).
Double-click on project in sidebar to “hoist”, show only it’s descendants
Searchbar
Only shows when a search is active.
Larger, can more easily complex searches.
Attention getting, you should never miss the fact that a search is active (changeable via styles)
Styles
Printing has it’s own style setting
Each window can now have a different (Window > Style) style
New styling options. Might change, give a try and let me know what you think:
editor {
top-padding-percent: 25%; // Pad top of editor with 25% of viewport height
bottom-padding-percent: 50%; // Pad bottom of editor with 25% of viewport height
editor-wrap-to-column: 80; // Wrap editor text at 80 columns, center if extra space
item-wrap-to-column: 60; // Wrap item text at 60 columns (smaller value them above means item text doesn't rewrap when item is indented
typewriter-scroll-percent: 50%; // Scroll edit location to 50% location in viewport when possible
}
Pallets
Pallet UI element replaces popup menus
Filtering list UI with same “type select” behavior as sidebar
Added “Command Pallet” to go with existing “Projects” and “Searches” pallets
Changed shortcuts so all pallets use some form of Command-P
Windows
Can now open multiple windows for the same document. Right-click on item bullet and choose “Open in New Window”.
Other
“Focus in” one more time on focused item to “hoist” the item
Changed default font to system reported “user font”
Todo
UI for managing saved searches
Show keyboard shortcuts in Command Pallet
Show handle (if it’s not displayed) when mouse over item
Drag and drop “between” top level projects in sidebar
Document meta data is not being saved (collapsed items, current style, etc)
Maybe someway to fade out titlebar… took this out for now because it beaks Tab support on OS X 10.12
Fix drag and drop of selected text to move it instead of create a copy
It seems to be working for me… though it will automatically create a duplicate of you try to drag and drop a parent item into it’s own list of child items. If that’s not it, can you explain exactly how to recreate it using the example document that opens in new windows?
Ok, I think I might see what’s happening… you are just dragging selected text? Not dragging by the item handle? That (dragging selected text) does look like a bug. But if you want to drag items around it’s much easier (for many cases anyway) to drag them by the little red circle (or if that’s not visible, where it would be displayed) to the left of each items text.
Ahh that explains the reactivation problem too. I sandboxed this version of TaskPaper, which means all preferences and files like that are stored in a new location. Use Window > StyleSheet > Open StyleSheet Folder to open the new sandboxed location. The old location (for Paddle version of TaskPaper anyway) is:
That’s not my intention, but possible that I messed up the configuration for file type associations. I’ll add it to my list to investigate. Sometimes a system restart can help with problems like that.
