Check Off 3.8 Officially Released!
I decided to add another feature and released the latest build officially as 3.8. The only change in this release is the integration of an auto-updating mechanism so you can easily get new releases.
I am using the Sparkle framework like many of your other favorite applications.

I hope you enjoy the new release.

Inappropriate?Great job with 3.8 Justin.
I'm having a little trouble. Not sure if this is a Check Off bug or a result of using the killall command.
I've been using this shell script I created in combination with OnMyCommand to swap my Check Off lists. It works great, but I'm finding that the last edits made to my Check Off files are not always saved when the script is executed and the app is quit and then relaunched after swapping files.
How often does Check Off save information? I was assuming it did it immediately.
path1="/Users/username/Library/Preferences"
path2="/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Check Off"
path3="/Users/username/Desktop"
status=$(defaults read ~/Library/Preferences/com.carpeaqua.checkoff FileCategory)
choice="__INPUT_TEXT__"
killall -3 -c 'Check Off'
if [ $status = $choice ] ; then
open -a '/Users/username/Library/Menu Extras/Check Off.app'
exit
else
cp -f "$path1/com.carpeaqua.checkoff.plist" "$path2/Temporary Backups/$status Backup.plist"
mv -i "$path1/com.carpeaqua.checkoff.plist" "$path2/$status.plist"
mv -i "$path2/$choice.plist" "$path1/com.carpeaqua.checkoff.plist"
open -a '/Users/username/Library/Menu Extras/Check Off.app'

Inappropriate?Check Off saves information each time you edit an item, add an item, delete an item. You have to end an edit for the data to save.
-
Inappropriate?hmm.... that's odd i can add an item change it's name. click off it and then close the list do a killall -3 -c 'Check Off'
restart check off and my edit isn't saved.
i'm also noticing that i don't always get a warning when i delete an item it just does it which can be bad when this app doesn't have an undo command.
i'm using 10.4.11 by the way -
Inappropriate?I spoke to soon. I just looked at the code and what I'm doing is saving each time you create an item or quit the application. It also saves if you update the text field below the check off list as well. It also saves when you quit the application, but using the 'killall' command is not going to trigger that, because its not a graceful save.
Can you use AppleScript instead of the killall command in your OnMyCommand script? -
Inappropriate?I'm not familiar with Applescript, but I'll check into it. Is there any chance you can add to the code a condition that it automatically saves when the sheet/window closes? This would ensure a persons changes are saved.

Inappropriate?I put it in my issue tracker to resolve in a future release.
