yWriter7 release updated

[Simon Haynes]

I've updated yWriter 7 Release version to 7.1.4.0, which is the current Beta version as well.

My one remaining doubt is whether the app will work properly with screenreaders, given my new custom listviews used throughout the software.

Just in case there's a compatibility issue, the previous version (7.1.3.0) has a permanent home on my website here: https://www.spacejock.com/yWriter7130/yWriter7Full.exe

Cheers

Simon

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the new updated version. I love the look. 

However, I've noticed two things: copying is easy but paste always adds the text twice. It isn't me holding control-V longer on the keyboard, either.  

The other thing I noticed, which was also happening on Version 7.1.3.0, was a delay between clicking in the main window on a scene and that scene finally opening. It might be my PC, though I still have older stories on Version 5 and 6 that do not have that problem. 

Is there some setting I've overlooked, or should I be looking at a new PC with more memory? 

Version 7.1.4.0 on Windows 11, if that helps.  

Cheers,

Henry

Hi Simon, 

Found another bug. All the columns in the Location, Character and Item lists are about 5 pixels wide. Reorganising them isn't possible, which means columns that I don't use are taking up screen space while making it impossible to see what I need at a glance. Adjusting the column at the extreme right is impossible because there's no scroll bar to get even find its border. Auto-adjusting column widths by clicking on the border as was possible under 1.7.3.0 doesn't work, either. 

Is this a Windows 11 rendering issue? The delay in the main windows responding to an on-click event (such as open a scene) or highlighting a scene or chapter on roll-over is much more noticeable on my computer now. 

I've had to revert to 1.7.3.0 for now because the issues are making it difficult to proceed.

Cheers,

Henry.

I replaced the Paste command with my own, so that it gets a chance to convert unrecognised formats (html, for example).  Unfortunately, the built-in windows paste is firing on press, and then mine is firing on key release.

I just need to suppress the Windows paste. Looking into that now.

Re the slowness opening a scene, how many words in the scene and do you have all the highlighting turned on (characters, locations, items, spell check, etc?)

[Simon Haynes]

If you right-click on a list column header, there's an 'autosize' button which will return the lists to a readable state.

I'll look into why it's making them so narrow by default. Autosize is meant to be enabled until you manually resize a column.

[Helena Nilsson]

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is a pesky beta bug or just the UI being a little wonky, but when I try to reorganise scenes in ywriter 7 (7.1.4.0) by drag-and-drop I can only move scenes higher up in the list, not further down (extremely cumbersome in a chapter w. many scenes which I added in the wrong order). Also, there is no indication where the scene will land, unlike in ywriter 6. 

I checked in ywriter 6 (to be sure it wasn't just windows 11 making a mess of things) and there I had no problem rearranging scenes, and while dragging a scene there's a visual indication on which scene it will land before/after (personally I would have liked even better to see a line where the scene will land but as long as I have any kind of visual I'm happy).

P.S. Thank you so much for all the hard work you've put into this program. It's hands down my favourite writing software to use and it makes all manners of projects so much easier. I've tried using a similar software with fancier bling in the visuals, but it wasn't anywhere near as efficient or user friendly.

[Peter T.]

Hi Helena, 

your problem can also be reproduced with the beta version 7.1.3.8. You' may want to install version 7.1.3.0, which Simon linked to at the beginning of the thread, as it doesn't have this bug. 

By the way: If you have been using yWriter 6 up to now, you could check whether you are still using the yw6 or yw5 file format and upgrade to yw7 if you wish.

Cheers, 

Peter

[Simon Haynes]

I'll look into this tomorrow - I've been using this version for months now, but something always slips through!

I can't seem to change the theme in 7.1.4.0. I don't particularly like the new highlight turning the text gray because it looks disabled to me, so I tried to change it, but all the theme options appear to be ignored. I get that the little box to the far left indicates it isn't disabled, but it takes more time to look for that soft shade of pink instead of at-a-glance dark text.

[Simon Haynes]

After you select a theme in the dropdown, click Load to read it in.

You have to save your theme before you can apply it too, I think. It's a couple of years now since I last looked at that feature.

[Loni]

I normally use the default theme, but I tried picking Dark > Load > Apply Theme > OK. It didn't change any colors. 

[Loni]

I've set the scene list to green, which is what it was already even though it shows gray, but I hit save as, apply theme, ok, but it doesn't change the text color of highlighted scenes. 

[Todd Carnes]

For what it's worth, I gave up on changing themes a long time ago. I've NEVER been able to get themes to work, not even in 7.1.3.0.

[Simon Haynes]

I use it for my chosen colour scheme, I haven't fiddled with it for ages.

The procedure is to pick a scheme from the dropdown then click Load. The theme will change in the form, then you click Apply Theme:

Two controls can't be changed (used to be three, but I wrote my own custom list view.).  The ones that are fixed are the Tab control (which I'm going to take a look at replacing next) and the separator lines in the drop-down menus.

This is after changing the 'Trash' chapter and clicking apply - but I haven't saved the theme, so on next load it will revert.

[Simon Haynes]

I think I know why this is - the scene list applies different colours depending on whether the scene is a note, a to-do, or a regular scene. That's overriding the theme colour choice.

I can fix that now.

[Loni]

I just want it to be a different text color than gray if it's highlighted, because it's the same gray as "unused". I don't know if that's an option, though, looking through the different theme choices. I'm okay if it's red for ToDo or blue for Notes. I just don't want it to be gray while highlighted if it's not unused. 

[Simon Haynes]

I've looked at the code, and I used the wrong variable for the scene list colour. Will fix that now.

[Loni]

I am also experiencing problems opening a scene after opening the project/slowness of opening. It's inconsistent. I double click it, it flashes a bit, but doesn't open. I keep trying. I had to click off to another scene then back to the scene I wanted to get it to open. I tried again to replicate it, by closing the program, opening it, then trying to open the scene it was last on by double clicking it. It worked after like the second try. Then I tried again, closing the program, opening it, double clicking the scene. After about 3 or 4 tries, I clicked to another scene and clicked back, and then it opened. No highlighting in the scene, 2869 words, minimal italics usage. 

[Simon Haynes]

Try pressing enter after selecting the scene.

For some reason it's reacting too quickly to the clicks, and ignoring the double click. I'll tweak this too.

[Loni]

Hitting enter does consistently open it.

I have found it adds a blank space at the beginning of the scene every time I either open it or save it (I don't know which). Either way, I end up with an extra space after opening a scene, and if I've opened it and closed it multiple times, it adds another space each time. I hit save and exit when I close a scene. 

[Simon Haynes]

Is that a YW7 project file or one of the earlier ones?

[Loni]

It's a .yw7 file, though I can't remember if I converted it way back when or if I created it new as a yw7 project. I think it might've been converted, but it was over a year ago. I switched to 7 when it first came out. The space adding is new to 7.1.4.0. Scrolling through and looking at the different scenes in different chapters, without opening the scenes (just clicking on them) they all seem to have an extra space at the start of the scene. 

[Simon Haynes]

Just uploaded 7.1.4.1 with a couple of fixes. More tomorrow, it's 4am here.

Hi Simon

One to add to your list on the new update.

If I use the links on the top menu bar for characters, locations, or tools, I can only move up one level now and not progress to the next level. Bit of a nuisance as I prefer the new set up and don't really want to go back.

[Simon Haynes]

@ as a prefix was a way to suppress the chapter title on export.  # suppresses the chapter break.

These are now checkboxes in the settings page for each chapter though.

Re the picture, you mean this tab?

[Simon Haynes]

Re the drag/dropping issue, try clicking the scene in the list first (so it's highlighed) then click again and drag.

I need to update the code so holding the mouse on one scene selects it.

Re search highlighting, turns out the search was trying to display the result before the scene content preview window had been filled.  I've changed the order of things so the update happens first, then the result is selected.

I've added a .trim to the end of the conversion from RTF (which is what the text editor uses). Hopefully that will remove any stray spaces.

Me again. Still getting spaces added to a scene when I save and close it. I've attached an image so you can see what I'm talking about.

I've opened and closed the scene 3 times, and it has added 3 spaces. In the meantime, is there anyway I can get rid of unwanted spaces with a click somewhere? I seem to remember that in the past there was?

Exporting selected chapters was on the Project menu in 7.1.3.0.

I used this feature to export multiple non-linear chapters where I had a particular POV to submit for feedback (like chapters 4, 5, and 11 together).

The extra space is still appearing in 7.1.4.6. I open the file, I delete the space. I save the scene, close it, and I see the space in the preview. 

When I open the scene again, the space is still there. It's no longer compounding, so it's only one extra space, instead of adding a new space every time. 

[Simon Haynes]

Export selected chapters is now accessible by right-clicking one of the selected chapters

That's really wierd about the space reappearing because I tested it with Save, Save and Exit, etc. Is that after importing an RTF file back in?

[Loni]

Thank you for the info about exporting the chapter.

I'm not doing any importing with the RTF file. I'm just opening it in the application and editing it there. I can zoom and show you if that would help.

I have a feeling this extra space is being added by the third-party library I use to convert RTF to Text within yWriter.

This is one of the reasons I avoid all third-party libraries and write my own.

I'll have to find where it's being added, and manually remove it.

This does seem to be an issue with the 3rd party library, not sure what changed but I've added a line to trim off any stray spaces in the relevant part of the code and it's working now.

The IDE in visual studio just randomly threw away the 'handles' clause on list events, which means yWriter was ignoring them.

Sorry, another little niggle with the latest update. (Tell me if I'm getting on your nerves!).

When moving chapters on the main screen; when you try moving one from the bottom to the top, it stops scrolling when it hits the grey top bar. The older versions didn't do this.

Hi Simon,

I confirm this: "copying is easy but paste always adds the text twice. " I noticed this behaviour a few versions back.

I also noticed the delay when opening a scene. It seems better with the latest release.

When I use the zoom Control scroll to make the letters bigger, and press Control S to save, it reverts the zoom to its default text size.

I hope this helps clarify the issues.

Thanks, Simon, for your efforts.

Ctrl+Zoom is a function of the rich text control, not yWriter.  If you use the inbuilt option to set the font size either in the editor or across the whole app, that will be saved.

Pasting should be fixed now.

Found the issue. Apparently the 'mousemove' event won't fire if a mousebutton is held down - it only fires after you release it.

I've got to rewrite some code to make this work.

Just identified one issue - dragging from one list to another doesn't scroll the second list. Looking into that now.

It works very well on my Ubuntu xfce4 22.04 with wine. I haven't noticed any issues I cannot work around. A couple of menu issues with mouse pointer but these can be overcome with the keyboard arrows and the return key.

Wine HQ has a net4.8.exe file.

If I can help let me know.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I've updated yWriter 7 Release version to 7.1.4.0, which is the current Beta version as well.

My one remaining doubt is whether the app will work properly with screenreaders, given my new custom listviews used throughout the software.

Just in case there's a compatibility issue, the previous version (7.1.3.0) has a permanent home on my website here: https://www.spacejock.com/yWriter7130/yWriter7Full.exe

Cheers

Simon

Version is 7.1.5.2

When entering character information I can right-click to bring up the context menu and paste information into the Short Name, Full Name, Alternates & Tags fields, but this does not work in the Descriptions field. The menu does not pop up. The only way I've found to paste information into the Descriptions field is to use the ctrl+v keyboard command.

[Simon Haynes]

That field is plain text (the others are RTF) so it doesn't use the default context menu. I need to hook one up specially.

I see. I've since noticed other fields on other forms that also lack context menus. They must be plain text as well.

Don't worry about it if it's too much trouble. I can just use ctrl+v, ctrl-x, ctrl-c, etc. instead. It's not a big deal.

Hi Simon

Now here's a weird thing.

If I move an item in the Project Notes, when I close and reopen the list the item has returned to its original position. As though the move has not been saved.

Regards

Pete
