Informant for macOS

New in Version 1.0
– Improved printing support on Notes View
– All views now simply adopt the same agenda-style printing view that iOS uses. This gives us consistency with iOS for now and we will resume working on calendar view-specific printing layouts in future releases.
– You can now select the specific date range you want to print when you are printing a calendar view
– Fixed issue where Informant would offer to send a meeting invite even if you hadn’t set up a mail account within Informant yet
– Some localization updates

Whats new in milestone 8.5:

• You can now re-order sections in the Focus view (this is done in Focus View Preferences)
• The Today/Focus menu is now a “tear off” menu. You can open it from the menu bar, then drag it to wherever you want. You can edit this Today tear off in the Preferences>>Focus.
• You can now drag/drop between the “Today/Focus Menu” and the main app
• You can now drag / drop notes (into a project, tag, mini-month, etc)
• Month and Stacked Week view now support multi-select drag and drop. (click Command to select multiple)
  
• You can now select a mix of items in a calendar view (events, tasks, notes) and delete them all at once
• You can now right-click on a backup (in Advanced Preferences) to show that backup in the Finder
• We have standardized on the term “Projects” for both notes and tasks. Before, we would inconsistently use the term “Notebooks” or “Projects” when you were on the Notes view.
• Projects can now be designated as allowing “Notes Only”, “Tasks Only” or both. Certain sync accounts only support specific data types, so in those cases, the editor locks you into a single choice. Likewise, Toodledo only supports mixed projects, so the editor restricts Toodledo projects to “both”. Informant Sync supports projects being in any of those 3 states. When a project is “Tasks Only”, it will not show at all in the Notes view (and vice-versa).
• Time zones now appear in the sidebar for calendars locked to a specific time zone
• Visual Improvements to the time zone picker when editing a calendar
• The event editor now supports specifying time zones when creating/editing an event
• Month and Stacked Week view now show the time zone on an event when that event is on a calendar locked to a specific time zone
• When grouping by project, the task view now sorts tasks in a sequential project according to the user-specified sequence
• Making a child task (via command-return) now sets the priority of the child to match the parent
• Completed checklist items always show regardless of your “show completed tasks” setting. This is consistent behavior with Informant on iOS.
• New & Improved logic for automatic “Next Action” handling on sequential projects:
  • Parent / child tasks are treated more like “sub-projects” now. If you set a parent task to “Active”, then the first subtask will become the Next Action.
  • This means you can now have multiple next actions within a given project (the first task in the project along with the first subtask of each “active” parent task)
  • During automatic Next Action promotion, if the first task in a project is a parent task, it will now set that parent task to Active and the first subtask will become the Next Action
  • Next Action promotion now stops if it hits a task that is in the Hold or Planning status
