Sandy not updating correctly when updating things as done
OK, I've tried to update everything on my digest with done and archive by replying to the digest as follows:
update #1 #2 #3 and Sandy only updates the first one.
update #1 #2 #3 @archive @done
While I know I don't necessarily need to put the done tag, Sandy has only updated with the first item. I'll try one per line.

Inappropriate?All right, here is the way I did this. You'll see Sandy, then my response. Now I'm stuck archiving these on the web.
Kunjhani, Jared!
I updated this:
#1 12:00pm Call Matt at Sip Meeting 712-432-9675 at
- Twitter reminder at 11:00am
- tagged with @archive, @phone, and @twitter

Sharp pencils, sharp mind,
Sandy

Does this make any sense? I also as above tried
update #1 #2 #3 @archive
I also added the done tag, as well. Guess I'll have to update the things as I get the E-mails like I used to do. Does this make sense or did I miss something? -
Inappropriate?I've since archived the items via web. But I am still curious, so if staff can let me know what I'm missing, that'd be great!
-
Inappropriate?Have you tried adding a space in between each line?
update #1 @archive
update #2 @archive
update #3 @archive
I think I ran across a similar problem with adding stuff and found I had to add in a blank line in between items. -
Inappropriate?I was able to add things with no subject and only skipping one line but I can give it a shot, but from what I've read, you were supposed to do it as shown or as follows update #1 #2 #3 and whatever tags you wanted. That does help though.
-
Inappropriate?Staff, I have not received a response to this, and it has been some time. I've also E-mailed help two days ago as I've had a question on time zones which I thought I posted here, but maybe not, but this would be something I'd like answered. A very frustrated:
-
Inappropriate?Just to keep this thread alive, this is still broken. As Tatiana suggests putting a blank line between update lines is indeed a viable work around.
I do notice Sandy does not have this problem with forgets, I can have as many of those as I want with no blank lines in between and Sandy parses all of them. If I mix forgets and updates (e.g. in response to my daily digest) all the forgets get parsed, but only the first update.
I’m getting a little frustrated figuring out all of Sandy's quirks.

This definately needs to be answered by I want Sandy. As i indicated, I've almost l left because of sme of the issues I've had that have gone unanswered and the weekend having no e-mail. -
Inappropriate?I believe all you need to do is add a period to the end of each line! -
Inappropriate?Putting a period at the end of each line? That could definately be tried.
-
Inappropriate?To be fair to Sandy, now that I look hard at the documentation, all the examples do indeed show a blank line between commands. I assumed it was just for readability, but apparently it's significant.
Also under "Sandy Shorthand" I see "As long as you place each [command] in its own paragraph..." - apparently "own paragraph" means a blank line.
I haven't tried the suggestion yet from vnewq regarding periods. -
Inappropriate?To be fair, I';ve read the whole documentation book. It did not specifically say to put a blank line. It may have shown it, but for a visually impaired person, that doesn't necessarily help when using a reader that reads to them via text to speech. However, it does have a say blank option, but it isn't usually used for web reading. But I did read every help page before starting with Sandy.1 Comment Add a comment
This answers the question
-
Jared - no argument, the documentation is flawed. My intent was just to show where and how the documentation was flawed.
-
Inappropriate?Well, I wouldn't say its flawed, because it is good, and I learned from it, however things sometimes didn't make sense.
-
Inappropriate?Have you tried the period yet? I didn't need a blank line. The period and "new" line make it a paragraph.
I think the Sandy help is too brief. More explanation and examples are needed. -
Inappropriate?No, I haven't tried anything as of yet. I've had no need as of yet.
-
Inappropriate?So, a big "NO" to the period at the end of each line. I tried the following (in response to a digest):
u #9 @done.
u #24 @done.
u #25 @done.
The result was Sandy did mark them @done, but also changed the titles of the three items to just a period.
-
Inappropriate?That doesn't help, and I was thinking of marking one of them done, seeing I can't make the town hall today, but I won't do it. Hmmm.
-
Inappropriate?I really wish I could update multiple items at once. At the end of the day, I'd like to email Sandy with:
Update #1, #4, #6-10 @done.
rather than the tedious
Update #1 @done
Update #4 @done
Update #6 @done
Update #7 @done
Update #8 @done
Update #9 @done
Update #10 @done -
Inappropriate?The problem is that it isn't working that way I did it and it only marked one thing done. Helpers, any ideas here please?
