TaskPaper 3.5 Preview (236)

I had to revalidate but it took it right away.

I had to reactivate mine too.

I guess revalidate as @RobOK says … 3.5 is definitely intended as a free update.

OK reactivate works, but why does this version does not use the activation key of the previous version?

And… all my styles are gone :frowning:

You are correct, i was dragging by the text. I either forgot or got confused that there are “hidden” handles. Thanks for that reminder.

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:

/Users/<username>/Library/Application\ Support/TaskPaper

I guess next thing is for me to rediscover why I didn’t sandbox it before. :\

Hi Jesse,

where can I find the style file?

Choose File > Open Application as stated in the help file does not exist in TP

Thnx, clear… :slight_smile:

Also please fix in help :slight_smile:

I will once 3.5 is out of preview, but for now know that help doesn’t reflect any of the new 3.5 changes yet.

Mmm,

I use for my theme.less a symlink to a file on Dropbox, so I can sync my styles on multiple macs. But when I use the symlink, TP crashes!

Am I right I am not allowed to use a symlink in the sandboxed folder :frowning:

It would be nice when you can use a “style folder” outside the Sandboxed folder!!

Hi Jesse,

Am I right the file-type .taskpaper is not associated anymore with TaskPaper?

When double clicking on a .taskpaper in (Path-)Finder does not open the file in TaskPaper.

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.

Yes, I think that’s correct.

No that does not help :frowning:

And a new files saved via TP does not open via Finder

That’s not so nice, so it would be nice when you could implement a custom style folder (via preferences) so one can e.g. sync the files.

Odd, I just checked and it doesn’t seem that I changed anything in the Info.plist (vrs 3.3) where this is configured. I’m adding to my bug list to investigate.

It looks like some styling rules have also changed. Is there a list of such changes?

Left side: 3.3.2, right side: 3.5 preview

A bit of nitpicking: the link provided in the 2 empty theme files is not live:

// See http://guide.taskpaper.com/creating_styleSheets.html to get started.

I don’t have a list, but I think the only changes right now are in font and line height. This stylesheet should get you close to 3.3 I think:

@base-font-size: 14;
@font-family: Source Sans Pro;
@line-height-multiple: 1.1;

Note that the font “Source Sans Pro” is no longer embedded with TaskPaper, so you’ll need to install that manually if you don’t already have it installed.

so…after all this…would you ever go back to obj-c or is it swift from here out?
