Thanks, suggestions remain welcome. You can view the current "TODO" list at https://github.com/lintalist/lintalist/issues

It seems I've forgotten to update the download link to https://github.com/lintalist/lintalist/ ... talist.zip so the database entry still points to the previous version v1.3.1. You can install that version and and simply use the "check for updates" in the menu.

Just a heads up: there is a beta release of v1.5

And before I start tackling all other issues* - https://github.com/lintalist/lintalist/issues/ - I want to release v1.5 as there are a number of changes that could break things, please test it out and report any issues if you find them.

Most important changes:
To test it download:

https://github.com/lintalist/lintalist/archive/dev.zip

and unpack the zip file, close your current running copy of Lintalist before starting de DEV version
You can copy your bundles to the bundle folder, as lintalist.exe is not included in the download of the source code you might need to copy lintalist.exe as well, otherwise simply start lintalist.ahk (you must have v.1.1.20+)

The "check for updates" option via the tray-menu has been disabled in this beta release.

* incl. new plugins currently being discussed are
- split plugin https://github.com/lintalist/lintalist/issues/23
- find & replace plugin https://github.com/lintalist/lintalist/issues/27
- and other items as well https://github.com/lintalist/lintalist/issues/

Feel free to post feedback at GH or here of course. Thanks.

#22 Post by lintalist »

Just a heads up: there is a beta release of v1.6

You can download a new early beta release here:
https://github.com/lintalist/lintalist/archive/dev.zip

It would be advisable to install this in a new folder and not overwrite your current install of Lintalist. You can copy your bundles to the new folder as well - existing snippets should still work as in previous versions.

Changes
  • new plugin parser - try to "break" it
  • new Split plugin *
More info posted here https://github.com/lintalist/lintalist/issues/37

* a usage example could be: you select a number of columns in your spreadsheet, copy that to the clipboard and you can now use the split plugin to use each cell and insert that into specific locations in your snippet. Or you read in a text file and want to use the 2nd and 5th lines ...

Feel free to post feedback at GH or here of course.

v1.6 is now available. You can use the tray menu, check for updates, to upgrade, or download it manually via https://github.com/lintalist/lintalist/releases
  • New: Split & SplitRepeat plugins (*1)
  • New: You can now create counters "on the fly"
  • New: Column: width settings for column 1 and column 2
  • New: Column sort settings and quick sort hotkeys
  • Change: improved parsing of nested plugins
  • Change: new options for Calendar and File plugins
  • Change/fix: chaining HTML/MD snippets now allowed
  • Various minor improvements, code refactoring (see changelog for details)
*1 Split & SplitRepeat
The Split plugin creates an "array" of sequentially numbered temporary variables which you can place anywhere in your snippet. This can for example be useful if you copy multiple columns and / or rows from a spreadsheet and want to insert them at specific locations in your snippet.
See the documentation http://lintalist.github.io/#Split for more informations and basic examples.

Feedback welcomed!

amazing app you made here! i was looking for something like breevy, and your app is better in function.

i like to request some feature :
- an option for custom text editor
- add custom sound effect to event eg. when you are successful in expanding text it will make a sound
- add dictionary popup on the caret , this is for dictionary bundle 1 or 2 words. i have seen this before but i forgot the app name, something like auto-correct/auto-complete feature of ide.

bug report:
the tray icon manage bundle and manage local var is not working.

thank you!

Glad you like it, thanks for trying.
starstuff wrote: i like to request some feature :

You mean the Snippet editor? There is a button "Edit in Editor" which will open your default text editor on your system, by default Notepad but if you have set another editor as default it will open that. I could add a configuration option to define the editor of course. Would that work for you?
starstuff wrote:- add custom sound effect to event eg. when you are successful in expanding text it will make a sound
I could do that, I'll add it to the list.

I believe that is TypingAid - http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1572 - which is indeed a great program. The problem I have with TA/AutoHotkey is that a 100% success rate of finding the caret position is not possible as it only works with standard controls but not for example in web browsers or many email programs.
I'll think about it but not sure how to implement it.

Good find, a bit a embarrassing actually, but I'll fix it of course.

its on my portable startup list! only the best apps are included there. :)

1. yes, an option to define the editor will be great! i have Notepad+++portable on my usb drive, and with this option i can set the editor to Notepad+++

2. the second request is not too critical but just for fun and also for additional sensory cue

3. that is the app! thank you for pointing me to the app and its also made using Autohotkey, this third request is also not too critical.


thank you again and keep up the great work!

Thanks - I'll work on 1 & 2, might be a little while before they are implemented but I'll post updates here when they are ready.
