1.4.5 b1 -> b2 -> b3-> RC1 - the biggest release in a while

[Misukasten]

Hello Andrea,
well, the main problem with the new explorer-like window is, that I can't view the tabbles ordered by colour name (the old categories). Unfortunately, when categorizing a new file, I also can't choose tabbles ordered by colour name. Hierarchical tabbles aren't a substitute for that, and ordering by name of the tabbles doesn't give a clear view (depending on the number ot them).

Perhaps it would be possible to develop the main view..
Yours,
Misukasten

You can. But you have to create a hierarchy of tabbles which replicates the colors that you had. Here's how to do it:

For each color C you have defined, do the following:

1. Create a tabble and call it C. (i.e. give the new tabble the same name as the color).

2. drag each tabble with color C into tabble C.

This way you get the same arrangement as the old "group by color name" in the new explorer-like window. (And you have a few added benefits, like being able to see all the files with a given color, collapse colors, and more).

Hello!

In version 1.4.6 the tabbles aren't ordering themselves anymore in the workspace depending on the size of the window.

This only makes sense in a non-zooming mode. But the non-zooming mode was removed because it was costly and superfluous, now that you have the side-panel in the file window.

what's wrong with using the file window?

Hello Maurizio,

it's true, but maybe uncomfortable. After building a new tabble and choosing a colourname I always have to put it also in the Colour-Tabble. Or is there another solution I can't see....

The non-zooming mode had the following advantage: I opened my explorer an the workspace of TABBLES (which was ordering the tabbles by himself), then I draw several files very quickly into their tabbles.

And who forces you to choose a color name? Your doctor maybe?

Previously you had to choose a color name. Now you have to choose the parent tabble. It's the same.

Also, remember that tabbles are folders. In Microsoft Windows, if you create a new folder, it will be created as a child of the currenlty open folder. The same is true for tabbles. If you open a tabble, then, if you create a new tabble, it will automatically be put inside the open tabble. So, no need to drag the new tabble into the correct container: it is already there.

We are trying to make tabbles as close as possible to common folders.

The non-zooming mode had the following advantage: I opened my explorer an the workspace of TABBLES (which was ordering the tabbles by himself), then I draw several files very quickly into their tabbles.

You were dragging files from Windows Explorer onto tabbles? So? You can do the same with the file-window. Just drag the files from Windows Explorer to the correct tabble in the sidebar of the file-window. (When you hover a parent tabble, it will expand if collapsed). Does this not seem equivalent to you?

Ooooh - yes, indeed, that works fine - thanks, Maurizio!!!
Good bye, categories - welcome Parent-Tabbles!

Greetings

There is a new bug in 1.4.7.

If I open a tabble, and try to subtract a "child tabble" from this "parent tabble", it doesn't work (the result is strange ). Sample: I have the tabble "cat" in "animal". I open "animal", I substract "cat", and that gives: "tagged" - "cat".

it's not a bug, it's a feature meant to solve another problem. But you're right it does not work when you open a parent and want to subtract a child. We'll have to find a different solution.
