Weekly update: 2016 week #38 (beta testers needed!)

First of all, we’re looking for beta testers for our Windows desktop app! If you’d like to test it for us and provide feedback, contact us using the in-app feedback option. The beta version should be ready in the next two weeks. (Don’t be sad Mac users, a MacOS version will be here soon!)

As usual, here’s the update from last week:

Improvements

  • We added the option to highlight overdue items in red. You can find this option in Settings → Preferences → Date.
  • We added a new way to navigate between siblings of the current root item. The shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+[ to go to previous of current root, and Ctrl+Shift+] to go to the next. Pro users can customize this shortcut to your liking.
  • Now you can add notes to the document title itself. You can use markdown or dates in it; it’s just like any other note for consistency’s sake.
  • Added extra error reporting mechanism for Can’t Sync errors, since it’s very hard to debug on our end alone. Now when you run into this error, you can click on the Can’t Sync label to open a popup that shows exactly what failed to be synced. You can also download the error as a .log file and send to Dynalist Support. We take sync really seriously and hopefully with this new mechanism, we can eliminate Can’t Sync errors altogether.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed broken document title layout for read only documents.
  • Fixed desktop layout showing up in BlackBerry Passport. We know not many people use BlackBerry Passport, but it’s nice to have Dynalist work in one more type of mobile device!
  • Fixed search tip popover disappear when you click on Search Everywhere or a search modifier.
  • Fixed hidden note icon showing up in the when the page is printed.

That’s it guys, looking forward to the Windows app beta! 🙂
