C Doyle: The case of the missing feature.

C Doyle: The case of the missing feature.

Holmes was sitting in a big armchair, lighting his famous pipe.
A case had just been successfully finished.
Holmes relaxed the only way he knew… Thinking deep, deep thoughts.
At this particular moment it was about The Mating Rituals of Oysters.

Watson was sitting with Scrivener and a nice cup of the, documenting the strange happenings of the case and mystery just solved.

WATSON:
Ohhh…!..?

It was the kind of an “Ohhh” that sends ripples through the ether.
It could affect thousands of people around the world, and in particular a young englishman, known as KB.

The sensitive Holmes immediately detected that the harmony was disturbed. Unconsciously he feared it could be something with Moriaty.

HOLMES:
What’s up, Doc?

The sentence was hanging in the air for a moment, then Holmes, a bit perplexed, realized that he was out of character.

HOLMES:
Errr… What’s on your mind, my good old friend.

WATSON:
I sit here with the Project Notes.
I drag a sentence to one of the other Tabs, but nothing happens.
Would you not expect the sentence to be copied there?

HOLMES:
(Puffing on his pipe)
Indeed, Watson….Indeed!

WATSON:
And if it did, should it be copied there or cut there?

HOLMES:
Elementary, my dear Watson, We will put in a modifier key for that.

WATSON:
(Chuckling)
What an excellent way to quickly clean up a pile of notes, it would be.

HOLMES:
I think I’ll write a book about it!

A nice idea, but I use a third-party framework for the tabs and they aren’t capable of accepting drags. Also, in version 3.0 I’ll most likely be dropping the tabs in favour of a source list, given that tabs aren’t great if you have too many notes. This could be implemented for the source list in version 3.0 easily enough, though.

All the best,
Keith

WATSON:
(satisfied, studing a newspaper)
Well, well, well…!

HOLMES:
(anoyed)
Well, well, well…What?

WATSON:
Well, it seams that they have used my idea, of dropping files on the tabs in the Finder.

HOLMES:
(still more annoyed)
Which Finder!

WATSON:
Eehhh…in the new OSX Maverick

HOLMES:
(silent for a while)
Did you say Maverick, my dear Watson?

WATSON:
…Yees…

HOLMES
(energetic)
Is he not a policeman!?

WATSON:
Sherif, Holmes. Sherif they call them over-there.

HOLMES
Ahhh…
(sinking into his thoughts again)
