Thanks for posting, I totally forgot about this thread…

No problem. It’s pretty redundant for me because I receive the updates reliably in the app and via subscribing to the RSS feed. Fortunately the major topics are covered in the features section.

##2017 weekly update #12

###Improved

  • We added loading screen tips. Now, when Dynalist loads, you can learn some handy tricks to better use Dynalist.
  • Better keyboard shortcuts for Mac users. Now Cmd and Ctrl are considered two separate keys when customizing shortcuts, plus color label shortcuts uses Ctrl+Shift+1~6 rather than Cmd+Shift+1~6, so that applying color label 3 and 4 doesn’t conflict with the system shortcut to take screenshots.

###Fixed

  • [UI] Fixed cannot drag to rearrange bookmarks.
  • [UI/minor] Fixed can’t use Esc to exit document search.

(Sorry for being too lazy to do anything other than just copy paste it. The bold formatting takes care of highlighting the important stuff.)

2017 weekly update #13 | Previous Updates

Improved

  • Created time of an item now shows up when you hover over the bullet point, along with the last edited time.
  • You can also search for items created in a certain time range using the “created:” search operator, very similar to how “edited:” works.

Fixed

  • [UI/search] Fixed Alt+Click cannot remove tag while searching.
  • [Desktop/Linux] Fixed Alt+Shift would change the layout and open menu on desktop Linux (Alt+Shift is used to switch between keyboard layouts).

#Weekly update: 2017 week #14

##Improved

  • When moving an item, 5 most recent destinations will be shown when no search term is entered.

  • Now when you click on items that contain formatting like named links, images, or dates, your cursor will land in the corresponding position in the plain text underneath. Before, the cursor lands in the same physical position, which is not necessarily the corresponding position.

##Fixed

  • [UI/search] Fixed re-focus on the Dynalist window would scroll back to previous place when you try to jump to the next occurrence with the browser default search.
  • [UI/search] Fixed only the last date is matched during search when multiple dates are in a item.
  • [Android app] Fixed Android app getting stuck (it keeps refreshing) when logging out.
  • [UI/minor] Fixed loading screen tips getting stuck when refreshing a Search Everywhere page.

Thank you very much for the cursor change and the ‘re-focus’ fix … these two changes make the program feel much more smooth, mature and less ‘in beta’, good job!

On behalf on Erica and Shida, you’re welcome!

Those changes are welcomed by me too. I guess we won’t need a WYSIWYG editor anymore. (kidding)

####This is our weekly update for the 15th week of 2017.

##Improved

  • Added “Show all…” option to Move Item so you can see all results. This is especially useful if you have many items with identical names.
  • Included folder path in both in Link Suggestion and Move Item, so you can distinguish documents with the same name.

##Fixed

  • [UI/minor] Fixed “…” not shown on Mac and iOS when showing the first line of note.
  • [UI/minor] Fixed can’t select multiple items in public read-only documents.
  • [UI/mobile] Fixed can’t tell whether file pane or document pane is active on mobile.
  • [UI/print] Fixed print result is black under dark theme.
  • [UI/print] Fixed vertical line in print result.
  • [UI/minor] Fixed feedback submit button is not visible on phones with relatively small screens.

That’s a useful improvement.

But when I tried the “Show all…” I had to wait a while for the results to show. When I scrolled down, I noticed that it wasn’t searching for the whole word, it was also searching for the separate letters of that word in other entries. So my search for “India” produced results for “I” “n” “d” “i” “a”. It would also be great if there was an option to exclude completed items.

#24

@Erica, please take a look into this. I have noticed (in the past) that it takes some time to index.

#25

The search is fuzzy by default, which is useful in many cases (e.g. you don’t need to type out the whole word). If you want to search for “India” exactly, surround it with quotations.

It’s normal if you enter a very common search query (such as “e”).

Be careful when clicking on “show all” with a very short search query – it is going to be slow. The same will happen if you do a global search with the same query. The search itself is actually not that slow, building the UI elements typically take the longest time.

Hi @erica I still don’t see the “…” in a multi-line note. (Mac app 1.0.29). I do see it when I view in Chrome.

#27

It probably hasn’t been pushed there yet, as usually is the case.

#28

Thanks @JP1! Yes, @Mark_Gammon, that’s indeed the case. We’ll release the desktop update asap!
