Collaboration and Bugfixes

Zavala Release 2.4

• Collaborate functions are now combined into the Share function to better conform to more recent platform conventions.
• When accepting a link to Collaborate, Zavala now correctly handles the link even if the link has to launch Zavala.
• When accepting a link to Collaborate, Zavala will select the newly accepted document for you.
• When a shared document is unshared or deleted, Zavala will now automatically delete it from the shared-to device.
• Added the keyboard shortcut and main menu item Delete Row.
• Fixed an issue where images wouldn’t get sent to iCloud if importing using Shortcuts.
• Undoing a row delete could cause the reconstituted rows to not sync properly. Now fixed.
• Fixed an issue where a character could come back while typing. Typically this only happened when backspacing quickly.
• Fixed a crash that could happen when the system was rebuilding the Documents View.
• Make loading and unloading of Outlines more robust to make sure Outlines don't unload while syncing.
• Corrected verbiage for Export PDF List menu item.
• Fixed a bug where the Sidebar might not be available on launch and then refuse to appear when prompted by the Show Sidebar command.
• When multiple Zavala windows are open at the same time, menu items and keyboard shortcuts may not work. This has been resolved.
• The Get Rows shortcut now uses a relative depth instead of an absolute one. This makes the intent of the shortcut more clear.
• The tab key shouldn’t indent the row when editing notes. Now it doesn’t.
• Fixed a bug where the Sidebar might not be available on launch and then refuse to appear when prompted by the Show Sidebar command.
• When dragging multiple Outlines from one Account to another all Outlines selected are moved instead of just the first one.
• Deleting a Note now correctly syncs the delete command and removes the Note from all other devices.
• macOS
  • Made the disclosure button a little smaller on the Mac so that it is easier to click the top level row.
  • The Add Note Level menu item is just Add Note now. I have no idea why it was ever the other way.
  • Scrolling no longer deselects selected rows. So annoying when that happens.
• iOS
  • We no longer accidentally open a new window when double clicking on an Outline in the Documents List

Little Fixes

• The Editor will no longer skip lines when hitting the up or down arrows quickly to move the cursor.
• We made the text selection color brighter in dark mode to make it easier to see.
• Fix a rare syncing bug that could remove the wrong row from the row order table and corrupt an outline.

Get Focused - Bug Fixes

• Zavala now persists the Focus state for each outline so that you stay in Focus when you view another outline and come back.
• If Zavala detects a corrupted outline it will now offer to recover any lost data that it can find.
• Fix a bug that was preventing images from moving when inserting text before them.

Get Focused

2.2

• You can now Focus In on a Row in an Outline to hide other rows around it. There is a new toolbar button, context menu item, and menu items to support this.
• The Settings panel has been rewritten to be more consistent between the Mac version and the iOS version. Settings now has a shared codebase that will make it faster and easier to add new features in the future.
• Zavala can now automatically change an http link’s to the web page title if none was supplied. This is enabled on an outline by outline basis. It can be enabled to default new outlines to allowing this in Settings or in the Get Info of a specific outline.
• If an item is dropped on the Outline Editor and it has a link in addition to text on the pasteboard, then we will automatically create a link from that information. This allows us to things like drag a mail message from Mail.app to Zavala and create a link that opens in Mail.app when clicked in Zavala.
• There is now a new Settings option that allows you to disable the animations in the Outline Editor to make actions feel more instantaneous.
• Outline word count is new available in the Get Info dialog.

• When an Outline is created using Shortcuts, we now populate the Owner Info and Automatic Link Title Changes from Settings
• Fixed the Create Row Inside command so that the parent row's bullet changes to a disclosure chevron
• Fixed a crash that can occur when updating the Documents panel.
