Release: sChecklist

<< < (5/26) > >>

BGM:
Uh, Jody, I found out something else to do.

Somehow I managed to freeze the entire program - it seems to have had something to do with resizing.  I had to end process on it.
Problem is that before that, I had renamed a checklist, so when I restarted the application, my list was lost.
But I saw my old list - or part of it - in the checklists folder, and I edited checklist.dat to point to the newly-named one.
That went well, except that I lost the last 7 entries I made.

With that in mind, I think that sChecklist ought to save it's list after an edit is made in the list.  I'm not sure how often it saves, but it doesn't seem to save after an edit is made, or at least when the application loses focus.  I don't think there is any need for a "save" feature.

Another thing to add is a way to import a list - perhaps drag-n-drop would be sufficient.  It could take the filename (without extension) as the automated name for the checklist.

Finally, is there any way to have or not have the lines in the checklists list?  I know there is the toggle button for the entries (details mode, etc.), but not for the checklists list.

Thanks again!

Funny you mention that since I was working on this very issue last night.  I've tried a few things in the latest version that will, hopefully, improve things.

I'll consider this.

Covered in the latest build.

v1.0.3 - 2014-06-12
    * Improvements to the save logic (crossing fingers).
    * Included the Checklists list in the "show gridlines" option.
      (Thanks, BGM).

BGM:
Thanks, Jody.

Ah, do you mind if I complain a little?  Options is displayed as a tab.  That takes up extra space on the screen for something, that IMHO, could be safely tucked away in the menubar.  Again, IMHO, the only value tabs would have in this nicely simple application would be if you could load the checklists in separate tabs.  But since you can't (and that's fine), there's no reason to put not-so-often-changed options in an always-visible tab and thus take up the extra space.  

(I suspect you used the tab control to not have to create a gui window for the options....)

Now, I'll give this nice little app a good show.  So far I love it and I might actually use it!

The original design actually started out this way (with ten tabs).

You are correct.   :)

BGM:
Ha ha, Jody!
