tedit development and design discussion
-
@domubpkm Yes, true. I will change that.
Does it need a setting so users can choose the default sorting mode? Currently it would always start with alphabetical/ascending as default, which seems the natural way.
-
@danfro Yes, I saw that the sorting settings were not preserved and I told myself too hat that starting alphabetic/ascending was normal.
-
@domubpkm maybe I make it preserve the last values used. Rather than adding more things to settings page.
-
@domubpkm Ok, the lastest build (https://gitlab.com/Danfro/tedit/-/jobs/14463791440/artifacts/file/build/aarch64-linux-gnu/app/tedit.danfro_3.7.0_arm64.click) does store the last setting and uses that the next time.
-
@danfro That's ok
. How are subdirectories and their files considered in sorting ? -
@domubpkm I think the subdirectories letters are used for alphabetical sorting. Its basically one string filename or subdir/filename.
I thought about splitting that, but the more parameters I add, the more complex it gets. I would not add another setting/filter for that.
I can try if I can skip the subdirectory and use the filename instead. That might make the most sense I guess.
-
Ok, skipping the subfoldername was not that difficult: https://gitlab.com/Danfro/tedit/-/jobs/14471012073/artifacts/file/build/aarch64-linux-gnu/app/tedit.danfro_3.7.0_arm64.click
-
@danfro Great. The sorting is done on the names of the files and not on those of any subfolders.
-
@danfro small problem noticed of incomplete information (cut) HH:m..

-
@domubpkm Thanks for all your testing, reporting and your suggestions. Then I will maybe wait a few days to get some translations in (https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/ubports/tedit/) and then release this change.
-
@domubpkm Your translation is too long. Use German compound nouns. No problem here.

Yeah that part is not perfect at all. I have that on my todo list to better format the timestamp, but there was some reason why that isn't that simple. Otherwise I would have already done it.
I will see what I can do about that. Moving the value to another line might be the easiest. Just cropping the text would make it useless.
-
@danfro changed screenshot..
-
@domubpkm I spottet another error: the time is no longer in UTC, likely due to my changed file reading. That made it easier to reformat. I did a few changes to file info page...

(A few strings will need to be re-translated because I changed the capital letter for the second word or so).
-
Hmm, created date seems not to work properly for all files. Some yes, some not. Encrypted not? Or not available for all files. Imported? Maybe I simply drop that info?
Edit: But file manager has problems on those files too. So not really a tedit thing.
Edit2: It is a tedit problem. When writing changes, tedit seems to recreate that file. That is why created and modified date are the same afterwards...
-
@danfro I stop raising issues. I plead guilty!
-
@domubpkm Haha, yes, this way we never get a new release.

No, thanks for that. Without testers and issues the errors stay. I did drop the created date, something is funny about that. And I think its not that important to add.
