Hello Jim,
On Fri, 17 Oct 2014, Jim Wallen wrote:
The recent upgrade in Debian testing from version 0.60-1 to 0.62-1 resulted in
a change in behavior.
In notebooks containing a calendar, if the user selects a date page to display
in
right pane, then collapses the tree and hides the left pane -- when the left
pane
is opened again, the calendar tree will be expanded to the date shown in the
right
pane.
Unfortunately, I just want to navigate the calendar with the calendar widget
instead of scrolling up and down through the calendar tree in the left pane.
In the previous version, once I collapsed the calendar tree, it stayed that way.
That allowed me to use the left pane only for navigating named pages in the
tree.
Was this change deliberate, is this PEBKAC, or am I missing something?
It was deliberate apparently, I asked the upstream author and he told me:
The issue about the expanding index pane is not really a bug in my
opinion. The index pane is designed to always expand to the current page,
regardless whether that is a journal page or not. Would not consider the
"old behavior" as a feature. (Which of course does not exclude the option
to actually introduce a feature to leave the index collapsed - but that is
not a fix.)
Though I'm not sure it's a regression, it's been a long time that I have
been annoyed by the fact that the index gets clogged with multiple trees
(the current month, the former month, the next month each with 30 days)
and thus making it difficult to navigate in other pages there... I was not
even aware that collapsing the higher level entry worked as you explained.
So I submitted your request upstream so that we have this as a proper
feature in the future.
Cheers,
Very interesting!
Thank you for the information, and I'll look forward to being able to
keep the calendar collapsed at some time in the future. Considering the
existence of the calendar applet it would seem silly to navigate to a
date using the tree. And the expanded calendar tree just gets in the way
of getting to the other pages.
I hardly every touch my mouse, so collapsing that part of the tree is
just a few quick keystrokes each time. I'd imagine it might be a lot
more annoying to a use who uses the mouse primarily for navigating.
Thanks again!
Regards,
Jim
