1.28 Is Out

DayMap 1.28: fewer trips across the app

Most of this release came from people writing in. Someone would say "I have to leave this screen to do one small thing," and they were right, and now they don't.

Focus does the whole job. Focus shows one day at a time. Until now, the panel on the right could show you a task's repeat and its project, but not let you change either — and it had no deadline at all. So working a day through in Focus meant leaving Focus. It now carries the same fields as the full editor. On the Mac, drag the bottom-right corner to make it larger and it remembers the size. On iPad it opens full width.

A Details button where you type a task. On the iPhone's capture sheet, the New Task box on a Mac column, and Quick Add. Type "Call the roofer Friday at 10," press Details, and the editor opens on Friday at 10:00 with the day taken out of the name. Return still just adds it in one move.

Lists in notes become subtasks. Press Return after a bulleted line and the next one starts with its own bullet. A Make Subtasks button moves the list into the task's subtasks, keeping any indenting. It's for the thinking you do in a note that turns out to be actual work.

Put your areas in the order you want. Settings → Areas → Edit, then drag. That order follows you everywhere.

A way back out of a subtask. Right-click on the Mac, long press on the iPhone — shown only on tasks that are subtasks.

Fixes: dragging a task onto another to nest it (broken since 1.26, and noisy in 1.27); Command-Z after a drag, which previously did nothing at all; and typing in a long note, which could fall behind or scramble what you wrote.
