Work in progress and alpha features

Not sure, on my phone right now. But should be up there in the latest stable.

I think you are on Mojave (10.14) as you have been using dark mode if I remember correctly :slight_smile: The new beta one is called Catalina (10.15).

Oh! i’m sorry. I am on mojave. I was somehow stuck in the days where mojave was beta.

(note to self: That’s catalina now, not mojave.)

3.178 alpha (available in a few minutes) now enables the "no restart after sleep" option. Let's see how that works :slight_smile:

Also improved general initialization time.

@Andreas_Hegenberg I just wanted to give you a quick heads up about a minor bug involving the UI. The text where the notes are being shown (under the Trigger Name column) is not increasing at the same rate as the text in the rest of the UI (after being increased in the preferences section). See screenshot below.

I have some problems with my eyes, and it'd be helpful if this text could also be increased. Thanks for your help!

PS - I'm on version 3.172.

No restart after sleep option is working well for me :smile: haven't run into any issues.

BTT 3.179 alpha adds a basic clipboard manager widget :slight_smile:

great work on the optimisation!

I'm installing the update!

Just realised that the settings button automatically opens to the current device settings. Cool!

In 3.184 alpha I added a fix for 3.170 hides BTT touch bar widget aggressively

However I'm not sure whether this change has any side effects. Would be great if you'd check your presets whether they still behave correctly with that alpha.

Will be online in about 10 minutes.

3.190 alpha:

  • fixes Java Script for automation support in BTT
  • adds "Remaining Events" option to current day widget
  • adds option to choose which reminder app to open when tapping a reminder

Can you add an option for Current Day Widget to show Next Event? No events today, but two days from now I have an event, or 3 weeks from now I have events, or 11 months from now that calendar has an event, and I would like to see it.

Would be easier to have a Next Event.

@K2DesignLab Yeah I'm looking into options to let users choose a time frame (too big look ahead windows cause some performance issues with the macOS API I use).

I'm back now (was on vacation and had lots of private stuff going on, therefore was quite busy the last few weeks ;-)).

v3.204 alpha adds a real "silent update" mode where it automatically installs updates when BTT is restarted without notification. Even if that's not enabled, update notifications should not popup in front of other windows anymore.

Excited to hear that "look ahead" feature will be implemented.

I haven't seen any performance issues for the AppleScript I use and have posted here. I have it looking 200 days for the next event (single event) in specified calendar.

Silent update seems interesting, unless it breaks something, so maybe a simple notice that is was updated. I personally do not enjoy silent updating, but I can it being useful for a developer.

Yep let's see, performance might be fine if only one event needs to be returned (I want to add the ability to show a user customizable amount of events). iCalBuddy is using an older but bit more performant API (which I can't use in BTT though).

Silent updating has been one of the most requested features for a long time, personally I also like seeing the release notes ;-).

I assumed it would only display the NEXT event no matter how far in the distant future. It shouldn't list all events for the next month, just the NEXT event in the future.

At least my idea for display the NEXT calendar event.

You will be able to set the number of events to 1 then :wink:

Sorry if this is naggy but I'm curious for what's the current focus on updates, what have you got cooking?

Also just (lots of) little tips here, do you think BTT should be focused on optimisation? I'm not sure if you've seen this but I'm making a list of things that could be improved here. I'd be happy to help with anything if I had the time and the skills, as it does seem like a big task.

Currently focusing on various things that I wanted to improve for a long time (the most requested is improving the mouse integration), but I'll definitely keep your list in mind and fix low hanging fruit whenever possible.

"Alpha update season" will start again soon :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I'd like to add a "Search function shows results from everywhere, also from inside groups", especially regarding the TouchBar Window. If I search for a button I usually do so because I forgot where I put it, and I don't want to search in every group to find it… :wink: This would be pure gold!!
