Try harder to open a file with an unknown plain text encoding
Fixed problem where .schedule would run after closing document
Fold nodes command updated handle empty node at top of selection case better
Added MultiMarkdown processor for Copy as (RTF, HTML, LaTex) conversions. End results is the Edit > Copy as options all work much better now
This is a rather messy dev release. Quit a few in progress things, but I’m going to be gone for the next week and wanted to get something out. Anyway give it all a try and let me know what problems you run into. I’ll be back next week.
Should that read “Renamed .timer mode to .schedule”? I wouldn’t mention it but I noticed the same typo is in Folding Text’s Help Menu → Release Notes document.
Nice release! Been meaning to ask about a calculator mode— good to see. You’ve also implemented the requirement to state .todo mode for sub-task items? Thus far, it hasn’t introduced as much friction as I thought it might…
Stopwatch mode: “play” button and total runtime are persistent to the left of the line item. Not too much of an issue on a single step timing, but if you stop and restart, the overlay’s more of an issue.
I love the calc mode! I’d been thinking of implementing something like this myself for a while, but I’m glad you’ve added it first. It’s extremely capable, and adds another entire use-case to the app.
Something I’m seeing in this release that I think is a bug (I’m not sure if it started in this release or earlier): within a mode, grandchildren are not recognized, i.e.:
# List.todo
- First level
- Second level
The “Second level” item is not styled as a to-do item.
Yep, that should be fixed. Single quotes used as apostrophes get an unwanted pair! I wonder if there could be a heuristic: if the preceding character is alphanumeric, don’t add the pair.
Is it just me, or does the .calc mode not work correctly? As far as I can tell, you can only get the calculation to run if you work on a bulleted line (see second example in image below); but the calculation acts as if the bullet represented a negative sign. So, for example, 1/2 = –0.5, because technically you have “– 1/2”
The .calc mode only applies to lines that are descendants. Make trial.calc into a top-level heading (i.e. add a # at the beginning), and all lines below it will be in calc mode:
strange problem with 2.1(741)… tried to build a new node path (/inbox//@today). Doesn’t work. I’m new to FoldingText, so I could be doing something incorrect. Apologies if my comment is too basic for this forum.
The sample you are showing wouldn’t get a match from the path you are showing, because the tag is not a descendant of a top level node (zero indent) named Inbox
But perhaps there was a truncation in the pasting and posting ?
+1 for not including apostrophes in smart pairing.
And a request – maybe others can chime in with whether it is a useful one or not – to tab out of a smart pair, i.e. if I start writing (something|) where the pipe is my cursor, I have to get past the closing bracket to continue typing, and for me the most natural way to do so would be to tab past it.
One issue I’ve had with quoting things is that I tend to paste some text into a document and then try to put backticks around it. I’ll put the first backtick at the beginning, and that works fine, but when I put the one at the end, it always puts two (one before and one after the caret). If I try to delete the backtick to the left of the caret, it deletes both! I end up having to do a little keyboard dance, backtick-right-delete. Not ideal.
IDEALLY, I’d like to select the text, press backtick (or any quote) and have it put the quote characters around the selection.
SUPER IDEALLY, if I select something that’s already quoted at both ends, and I type a different quote, it should change the quote in the selection.
The label link is x-foldingtext://documents/current?nodepath=%2F%2F%40today which was created by selecting the text //@today and using link node path from run command.
I click on label, and nothing happens. No folding.
What am I missing? Has the syntax for node paths changed in the Dev version?
Thanks for any guidance you can provide. For now, I’m just going to go back to FT v. 2.0 although I’d like to play with some of the cool features coming on in the Dev version.
@midas Your node path is correct… none of that has changed. But you found a bug in the dev version! The code for clicking on node path links is broken in the current release, I’ve just fixed it for the next.
