I just released PackRat v0.8 (build 187). The much awaited editing functionality has started to arrive. Here’s the info:
New Features
- View->Home command and Home toolbar item
- Now downloads information about images and files (but doesn’t display them yet)
- Lists are now editable. Add new items and new lists. edit them, delete them. Then sync with Backpack and your changes are uploaded
- Inline images (not attached images) are now displayed, but only if they are in your cache.
Bug Fixes
- Backpack doesn’t properly escape list titles and PackRat now does a better job at reporting these sync errors due to quotes and html tags in titles
- The Close Window command is back.
- I found another sync problem when SSL is turned on. If you’ve been having problems syncing that I haven’t been able to help you with, I think this fixed might have done the trick.
Known Bugs
- Tags browser can crash PackRat when dragging sizer
- Help needs finishing
- Still problems when syncing pages with “bad” characters, and HTML tags or quotes in titles
- Inline images are not displayed properly if not in cache
On the inline images topic, what do you mean by ‘but only if they’re in your cache?’ Do you mean browser cache? If that’s the case, I would assume it would have to be Safari’s cache? Or do you mean Packrat’s cache? As in: it needs to have downloaded them in an earlier sync?
Thanks for the update! Packrat’s looking great.
I mean PackRat’s cache. PackRat uses WebKit just like Safari, so in order for an image to be in PackRat’s cache you would have to had loaded the image by visiting the page the image is on in PackRat while you are online. In the future, I’ll prefetch all the images so they are in the cache when you’re offline.
