- Fixed issues related to the way the feeds list is set up, that caused tapping on folders and feed detail buttons to fail (that was very tricky to narrow down).
- Fixed the FTUX presentation on iPad.
- Fixed tapping when traverse is visible.
- Tweaked the autoscroll controls position on iPad to line up with traverse when visible, or go a bit higher when not (to avoid the home indicator).
Moved the 1-second load (which was added for issue #1152, to cope with slow avatars) to after the full HTML is generated, so it won’t fail. Also changed to GCD `dispatch_after` instead of `NSTimer`.
- Implemented the feature, showing or hiding hidden stories, only offering it if there are some.
- I used the “all” icon in the menu as a placeholder; please provide one you’d prefer.
- Since the crusty old menu mechanism doesn’t handle dynamic items well, I took this opportunity to migrate the feed detail menu to the block-based MenuViewController mechanism, resulting in significant code reduction.
- Enhanced MenuViewController to support the theme controls etc, so other menus can be more easily migrated next time they need to be updated.
When there are changes, the “Show Changes” button appears before the date, like on the web. Tapping loads and displays the changes, and the button changes to “Hide Changes”, which works without loading. The insertion and deletion highlights support style-appropriate colors.
- Now doesn’t use estimated row heights, since that seemed to cause the jitter.
- Increased efficiency by caching row heights.
- The cached row heights are reset when reloading the table etc.
Improved it so interactive back gesture works when the navigation bar is shown, or when scrolling between stories vertically. As you originally pointed out, scrolling between stories horizontally conflicts with the back gesture.
It is using the system gesture, so I can’t change the gesture behavior.
The autoscroll controls will now hide with the traversal when scrolling. They still appear on tap, or when going to a new story, to make it easy to re-enable scrolling. Of course, they never appear if set to manual scrolling.
- Fixed offset short stories.
- Moved autoscroll controls closer to bottom on iPhone or compact.
- Moved autoscroll controls between traversal buttons on regular iPad.
- Added a "Restore position" preference in the "Reading Stories" group, with options to restore the previous state on launch always, within a specified interval, or never.
- When within the indicated interval, the app restores the feeds, feed detail, and story selections and scrolling positions.
- The active story is marked unread to ensure it remains available for restoring, and re-marked read when resumed.
- NOTE: only supported on iPhone for now. I’ll add iPad support later.
- Pinch in gesture in a story to force the nav bar to show when hidden for full screen or autoscroll.
- Pinch out gesture to hide it if appropriate.
- Form sheet Safari presentation now only on iPad.
- Responsive swipe is covered by another issue.
I really like this feature!
- Added a segmented control to the story detail menu (in the previous commit).
- When autoscroll is on, the story scrolls automatically.
- Tapping the story when autoscroll is on now shows a small overlay with buttons to turn off autoscroll, pause/resume scrolling, go slower, or go faster.
- The overlay auto-hides after a moment.
- Uses full-screen, even if not separately enabled.
- The user can still manually scroll, and it keeps autoscrolling from there.
- It stops autoscrolling when reaches the bottom.
- When going to another story, the autoscroll overlay briefly appears (if enabled), so the user can resume autoscroling, but it doesn’t resume automatically.
- Removed the tap gesture, as requested. Though I suspect you might change your mind about that one.
- Added a segmented control to toggle full screen in the story detail menu.
- (Also added one for the forthcoming autoscroll feature while I was there, since it’s easier to add both at once.)
- Fixed a bug with full screen when vertically scrolling between stories.
See discussion in previous comment on the issue. Sam, you can decide whether to accept this change, which seems reasonable to me, or live with rare sites borking the app, or perhaps ask for help from Apple DTS.
- Fixed mistakenly showing the infrequent stories message.
- Fixed the alignment of the segmented controls, by making all non-proportional.
- Added a control for the image size.
- Decodes HTML entities, and strips line breaks.
- Uses dynamic row heights when the text is short.
Replaced the Preview descriptions preference with a multi-select for title only, plus short, medium, and long title & content. The text space is dynamically distributed between the two. The thumbnail is constrained in size so both the large and small variations work with all preview text sizes, with the date below if it fits.
Now supports interactively hiding or showing the nav & status bars when scrolling up and down, and the text no longer moves when hiding/showing via tap.
