I’m close to release the final 1.0 version of the add-on. This beta contains several improvements over the previous 0.9 release.

Map view

• Action to parse shorthands
  • Shorthands can be converted into actions using a menu item. The default hotkey assigned to this is Alt-h
  • Safeguards are built in so the decoration items are not multiplied
  • If a node already contains action markers, it’s body will be parsed. The attributes will be added from the shorthand notation. Existing attributes will be overwritten.
• Shorthand parser option to convert ? to corresponding marker
  • As a convenience function shorthands starting with ? will always be converted to ? icon
• Marker to scope
  Icons can be defined to be used as scope markers. These icons will always be converted to the scope defined in the configuration.
  • Use “Icon: @ScopeName” in any node body, along with an icon on this node, to define a marker for the given scope.
  • Any nodes containing this icon will have the corresponding scope attribute set, when either the shorthands are parsed, or the action list is shown.
  • Any tasks in this scope will receive this icon.
• Editor form for  modifying actions

Action view

• Multi-level projects
  • The projects are presented and grouped by all their top projects shown on the path.
• New preference settings
  • In the addon preferences you can set which pane is to be shown by default on the action list.
  • You can set weather to show the completed items per default
• Behavior changes
  • The action list will be closed when an action item is selected and the item will be focused on the map.
  • The tabs will be scrolled to the top by default
• Clipboard update
  • The copy to clipboard function is reworked to support both TXT/HTML exports

Under the hood

• Rework ui to use groovy’s SwingBuilder
  • The entire user interface was reworked to use Groovy like constructs
