\nSo now that we have the big scary document change out of the way, what else is in store with this release? Here are my notes:\n<\/p>\n
\n
\n- Revised About Box \n- Custom document icon\n- Add \"Repeat when finished\" checkbox to main document window\n- Add a \"Remember Layout\" menu item to save info in document:\n\t- Window frame\n\t- Table column order and sizes\n- Scriptability\n\t- Added support for a \"reset\" command\n\t- Added scriptable access to the \"running\" attribute\n\t\tof a routine document\n\t\t\t- Caveat: cannot stop\/resume from within a cue\n\t\t\thandler script at this time.\n\t- Added a \"Display Message\" command to give script access\n\t\t to the text message mechanism\n\t- Early support for a special handler in AppleScript cues.\n\t\tHandleFlexTimeCue(theDocument, theActivity) gets called\n\t\tif exists within the cue script\n- Fix a bug that prevented scripts from being chosen for Run Script\n- Fix crashing bugs with \"Speak Text\" cues\n- Fix a crash that could occur when a script alias was stale\n- New documents now start out with a single default activity\n- Open documents are now preserved across launches\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n\nExecutive summary? Lots of bug fixes, a slightly cleaned up UI, and a controversial “Remember Layout” feature. Let me say now that this item is probably going to disappear before 1.0 final, so don’t get too used to it. The idea is that some FlexTime routines are suited to a particular UI layout and that layout should be remembered by the application. The question is whether the remembering should be automatic or explicit. I think I’ve been convinced that it should be automatic, and be saved in the user’s preferences instead of the document itself. If you’ve got strong feelings about this, now is the time to make your case.\n<\/p>\n
\nSo what’s left before it goes final? Mostly<\/em> just documentation and finishing up the AppleScript support. Keep your eyes peeled for a final release within the next few weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The feedback I’ve gotten on FlexTime since releasing the last beta almost two weeks ago has been simply amazing.
