Day One issues

Mac

  • Dropbox authorize loop on first launch
    (When Day One came back into focus after clicking the Show button on the Dropbox auth page, it didn't know it had been authorized until I went through the whole process a third time)
  • [apple bug, fixed in 1.7.1] Every relaunch need to point back to the journal dir
    • Has to reindex all the entries every time it gets relinked
  • Quick entry still doesn't return focus when done #petpeave
  • Neither quick entry nor main app remember smart quote substitution settings (although maybe the idea is that smart quotes should happened with Markdown parsing?)
  • Just got in some sort of state where the files for new entries created in Quick Entry were being created, but they weren't being added to the database or pulled down over Dropbox. Quitting and reopening the app seems to have solved it.

Bug in 1.9.1 beta - start entry in quick entry window, but don't save it - go back later from a different location - when you update the location to the current location, it gets the weather for the current time even though the creation date was earlier

  • quick entry window is stuck on one set of weather conditions and isn't logging location, which makes weather not show up in iOS. not sure how it got into this state. might have to do with the bug above?

Notes as of 1.7.1

  • List view doesn't show time/conditions if there's only one post for a day
  • Photos should never scale larger than real size (even if that means being smaller than the width of the window)
  • [feature] Being able to drag a photo from the Finder onto the menubar icon (like CloudApp), then have it pop open the text entry box, would be awesome.

  • Quick entry still doesn't return focus when done #petpeave

  • Thumbnail in Mission Control while in full screen has a tooltip over the lock screen even though the real thing is definitely locked.

iPhone

  • When set to show New Entry on launch
    • too aggressive about showing new entry pane (e.g., when returning from taking a photo)
    • not aggressive enough about removing blank entries (because with the new metadata they don't look blank?)
  • Migration
    • Counted entries up, but never started counting down
    • Eventually, the progress bar showed up, but without the background
      (I was thinking: gee, the contrast is really low between the number and the grey background…)
    • Waited 30 minutes, then finally hard-quit the app
    • On restart, counted up, then started counting down. It worked fine.
  • 'Back' arrow on the Foursquare settings page says 'Help'
  • How does it decide when to show the map? At first I thought it had something to do with GPS accuracy or post length, but I don't think it's either of those. (Update: map and showing the weather icon in the list is only for entries that a fit on one line on the iPad.)
  • Tweetbot-like smart quotes? Or should that be handled by the markdown converter? -One entry from today (Sept 2) isn't being counted in the daily or weekly counts. Not sure which one. First of the day was around 11:20, so I don't think it's a timezone thing.

iPad

  • FAQ and Instructions are blank. (Or white-on-white.)
  • No need for the notch/arrow in the top of the sheet when pulling down on the most recent entry because there's no action associated with pulling. (I agree with getting rid of pull-for-new, though.)
  • Didn't have any network (sync, location, or weather) for several hours. Not sure what was up with that.

  • Sometimes gets the location name but records lat/lon as 0,0

  • Highlighting entries in the sidebar timeline doesn't always work quite right when pull-to-switch-ing and new entries are being added by sync

Mac (1.9)

  • Performance -- just about unusable with a 5200+-entry library
  • When there are only a few entries for a day, clicking Done on a new one lands it on a view that's scrolled too far down
