Outliner V0.8.1 beta

This release is mainly a bug fix version with fixes and small improvements.

The beta tester group works on testing the sync to Natara Bonsai. Thanks to the Beta Testers for the great work!

Changes 0.8.1:
  • switch between portrait and landscape in activity list
  • back button always saves the data
  • configure tiny font for activity list (Config Outline)
  • import Bonsai, always use US locale for dates
  • further preparation for syncing to Natara Bonsai (Beta Test)
  • Fix: occasional force close when coming back to open activity list from other apps
  • Fix: failure when adding an acitvity as sibling of a subtree (bug introduced in V0.8.0)

Tip:
Depending on the size of your fingers and the resolution of your phone it can be difficult to correctly hit the buttons in the list. You my accidentally start editing an activity instead of expanding a sub-tree.
To avoid this you can tell the system to enlarge the size of the buttons by surrounding them with empty space. Try the different values and choose the one being the best compromise between wasted room and good usability. This is found in "Settings, Button Padding".

The app looks great. Does it have a web interface? I'm looking for an easy outliner that works on line and in android. Any suggestions?

Right now there is a sync to Natara Bonsai at the Beta Tester Group. In future there will be additional syncs to other online services. Depending on existing APIs and what you are asking for.

Found this app through a review on useful technology/tools for writing.

My #1 need right now, would be syncing tasks with my Google tasks, but I cannot find a way to do that?

There are mentions of a Pro version, but I have been unable to find it?

@Filipe
Outliner will sync with Google Tasks when Google provides an official API for that and if there is enough demand from the users.
The PRO version is tested by the Beta Tester Group right now. Please be patient.

How can I get the PRO version?
I have a few dozen Bonsai outlines I'd like to convert and use on my Nook Color

@Anonym
You don't need the PRO Version to import Bonsai Outlines, just for syncing with Bonsai. Please check the Tutorial.
The PRO version is tested by the Beta Tester Group right now. Please be patient.
