Han cambiado muchas cosas en DayMap desde la versión 1.8
We're up to 1.13 now, and a fair amount has landed along the way. Here are some of the bigger changes.
One theme ran through most of it, and it wasn't planned. Nearly every serious bug people reported turned out to be basically the same thing: DayMap failing to do something and not saying so. A calendar switch that turned itself back off. A purchase button that did nothing. Sync reporting good health while uploading nothing at all. So a lot of this went into making DayMap tell you what actually happened.
The rest came from email. Most of what's below started as somebody's message.
New things you can do
Repeat every few weeks, months, or years. Monthly and Yearly used to be the only choices, with nothing in between. A repeating task can now be every 3 weeks, every 6 months, every 2 years — whatever it actually is.
Arrange your day anywhere. Dragging tasks into the order you mean to work them used to be possible in one place only. It now works wherever you see a day: the Upcoming list, Focus, and on iPhone. On a Mac, Option-Up and Option-Down move a task without dragging at all.
Contexts are now Areas. A context is where you can do something. What DayMap groups your projects into is a domain of responsibility — Work, Family, Home — which is an area, and now it says so. Nothing moved; your projects are filed exactly where they were.
Show several areas at once. Tick Work and Home and both appear together, instead of choosing one and losing sight of the other.
Keep the Inbox in view. On a Mac, the Inbox can hold its place while the rest of the board scrolls, so it stays reachable when you have a lot of projects. It's in the Inbox column's menu.
Add subtasks on iPhone. Long-press a task to add one.
Dictation speaks your language. Voice capture listened in English no matter what you spoke. It now follows your system language, and Settings lets you pick a different one.
Long task names are readable. Titles and note previews show two lines instead of cutting off at the column edge.
Right-click names the project. A task on the calendar carries its project's color and nothing else. Right-click it and the menu now tells you where it belongs.
Two new keyboard shortcuts. Shift-Command-E collapses or expands the project you're working in. Shift-Command-K shows and hides calendar events.
Fixed
The upgrade screen's buttons only responded to clicks landing exactly on the text. If you tried to buy DayMap Pro on a Mac and nothing happened, that was why. The whole row works now, and we're sorry.
A task's time reverted to whatever it was first given. This affected reminders too.
Dragging a task could make DayMap stop responding, especially with a lot of tasks. Nothing was ever lost — the move was always saved before the app stalled.
Both calendar options could switch themselves back off without saying why. Three different things cause that, and DayMap now tells you which one, with a button that takes you to the right place in System Settings.
iCloud sync problems. Sync didn't start after subscribing, and switched itself off after a subscription check that couldn't reach the App Store — while Settings reported that everything was fine. Settings now says when sync isn't working and what to do about it.
Restore Purchases was missing on the Mac when DayMap Pro was already active.
Undo after checking a task off — including undoing a parent without un-checking subtasks you'd already finished.
Completing a task is faster, especially on a busy week.
Double-clicking a task didn't open it on a Mac trackpad.
"Clear" beside a task's date is now called "Unschedule", which is what it always did. To remove just the time, switch off "Set a specific time" — the day and the bearing stay put.
Tapping a calendar event doesn't have to open Calendar. If you keep your calendar somewhere else, that's now a setting.
Coming next
The next release brings your data across from the original DayMap. If you used it years ago and still have the app or its backups, your projects and tasks — subtasks, notes, dates and all — can come over. It shows you exactly what it will bring before it does anything, tells you what it can't bring, and saves a backup of your current data first. Also on the roadmap: the ability to share projects.
