Additional comments

Thatā€™s really old. Did you just download it?

If you check out Main menu - ā€œAboutā€, it should say a new version is available. The newest right now is 1.0.29.

We canā€™t really debug a bug in an old version, so can you please restart the app to get a version and see if the problem still exist?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Unfortunately I canā€™t download any new versionā€¦ In 1.0.1 actually there is no ā€œAboutā€ in the Dynalist menu (to find out which version I had I used cmd+I on the app icon in the apps folder)

Iā€™ve downloaded again from dynalistā€™s website (https://dynalist.io/download) but the version I get from there is 1.0.1

Where can I download the latest update?

Itā€™s all auto-updated. Although version 1.0.1 doesnā€™t have the ā€œAboutā€ option, if nothing is blocking your internet restarting the app should update it to the latest version.

Give that a try?

Yes. Internet is fine but appā€™s not updatingā€¦

Has the app been open for more than, say, 10 minutes? It needs some time to check update and to download it.

Maybe not since I reinstalled. Although previously I had been using the app for about a week, having it running for long periodsā€¦

Iā€™ll wait for some minutes and tell you what happens

still nothing happensā€¦

Okay, weā€™ll upload a newer version soon the download page and let you know.

By the way, are you by any chance in the work environment?

No. Iā€™m using my homeā€™s network. Havenā€™t had any problems in autoupdating other apps not downloaded through the app store (Firefox, etcā€¦)

Sorry for jumping in. I think the auto update of the Mac Desktop App 1.0.1 is somehow broken. I have also installed the desktop app from the download page and have no 'about" option. In the package I see
<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key> <string>1.0.1</string>

I run the desktop app since weeks for longer period of times but no update has happened.

As soon as you have updated the version on the download page I will give it a try :slight_smile:

@p11 @Thomas_Fischler: thanks for the information, Iā€™ll update here once we upload the latest Mac version!

@p11 @Thomas_Fischler: a new version is uploaded to the Download page.

Could you guys please try again? Thanks!

Hi Erica!

I installed the new version (1.0.2., right?) and left it open for about 15 minutes. Then closed and reopened. It doesnā€™t seem to have updated, and the zooming problem is still there.

I had previously erased the older version of the app.

Does the ā€œAboutā€ menu option appear now?

And I think 1.0.2 is the version of the shell (the wrapper around Dynalist), not the actual Dynalist.

No, the about menu is not there

You said youā€™ve erased the app, have you deleted everything under ~/Library/Application Support/Dynalist/dynalist/packages?

I have done a simple install and everything seems to be OK now.

@p11: perhaps the meaning of the name ā€œabout menuā€ is not clear. We assume normally that every Mac application has an ā€œAboutā€ menu entry in the first main menu - but Dynalist has no About menu entry which now should show ā€œVersion 1.0.2ā€ (the desktop app version).
I think Erica is talking about the About entry in the Dynalist hamburger menu (the three vertical bars top right). Here I have now the About menu which shows Dynalist 10.0.29.

Many thanks Erica for the support!

Greetings from Switzerland.

Yes, thatā€™s correct! Except itā€™s Dynalist 1.0.29, not 10.0.29. I believe thatā€™s a typo though! :slight_smile:

Sorry I didnā€™t think of this.

Thanks Erica and @Thomas_Fischler for all your advice. I successfully reinstalled and have now the 1.0.29.

The only problem is that the zoom shortcuts (cmd+] comd+[) still do not work for me. The rest of the shortcuts are working fine.

Iā€™ve checked that theses shortcuts are not used for as systemwide shortcuts in the keyboard preferences.

Do they it work for you?

(Note: When I use them in the web app, they work as back or forward page, not as intended zoom in or out an item)
