Cocoal.icio.us 1.0b13
I just wanted to quickly note that I posted a new version of Cocoal.icio.us last night. This new version has lots of interface changes, mainly because I was in the mood to do some ultra nitpicky custom UI programming (note the new, iTunes-like bezels around the panes in this build) and because one of the most common complaints seemed to be about the amount of wasted space at the top of the window (I reconfigured the layout to be far more compact in the new version). I hope people like the new look, though I’m sure the anti-metal hardliners will remain unmoved.
Other changes include:
- Modified extended search so it can now be used to search for tag intersections (thanks to Allen Hutchison for his feedback on this).
- Enabled primitive caching and conditional HTTP requests to the API, to hopefully avoid unnecessary downloads of data (at least once support for this scheme is implemented on the API side).
- Switching tag views now causes the current search to be cleared (thanks to Michael Williams for his feedback about this and many other important things I haven’t gotten to yet).
- Fixed a bug that caused & and ? characters to be improperly percent escaped in post text.
- Temporarily disabled tag renaming feature until problems on the API side are sorted out.
- Shortened date display format.
As usual, feedback is most welcome—just be advised that I probably won’t have much time to work on Cocoal.icio.us in the next few weeks.
