Wow. Just downloaded Scrapple this morning and within a few hours of playing with it, I could use it! Woo hoo!
This instruction
Holding both Option and Command down while double-clicking to create a new note when there is a selection now creates a note with a two-way arrow connection; holding down Shift and Command creates a note pointing back towards the selected note.
works opposite for me. i.e. Shift and Command gives two-way arrow, Option and Command gives arrow pointing back.
Thank you. Mind-mapping programs intimidated and confused me, this is exactly what I need.
I have a feature request, as well. It would be really helpful if you could “focus” on a node and it’s children down to X number of branches. For instance, if a person clicked and held a node, everything else would fade, except for the descendants of that branch. Does that make sense? Let me know if you’d like me to mock it up.
I’m trying to download and open the zip for Scapple (the updated on on 26th Feb 2013) and it won’t let me open it. It says the file can’t be read. I’m using my MacBook Air and Scrivener works fine on it, but it just won’t let me open the Scapple zip. Can you help?
Thank you so much for replying… yes I can open other zips no problem. It’s just this one with Scapple. I’ve just tried to download the thing again and now the link on the website to the zip doesn’t work either.
Oh, I finally did it. :mrgreen: It must have been something to do with Firefox because when I downloaded it using Safari, it downloaded straight away and it let me open it. Phew… tomorrow I can now take a look at it and see what it can do.
Ah, it must have failed to completely download in Firefox and then never recovered. I’ve seen that happen before as well and usually restarting the browser fixes it. Glad you got it downloaded.
I don’t know if it’s only me – but I’m unable to ”Apply Note Style” to my notes in the newest version of Scapple!
They just refuse to change from my default, which is ”brown” with a ”cloud” border.
(The border can be changed, just nothing from the ”ANS” menu. I.e., if I choose ”pink bubble” or ”red text”, nothing happens.)
When reporting potential bugs, always state your System specs, as this s/w runs on 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8. I’m using Scapple – not “Scrapple”, btw. – on 10.6.8 and ‘New’ works as expected.
Please open /Applications/Utilities/Console.app and see if any errors get reported there when you try to do this - something very wrong is going on there.
Scapple, being a standard OS X document-based program, uses OS X’s native saving features, which means that it does autosave on Lion and Mountain Lion. If it’s not autosaving for you on these platforms, then it may be related to the bug you’re having where new documents aren’t being created, since all of this is handled by similar mechanisms. So let’s try to resolve that first.
Sorry, no, that’s probably not something I’d consider - is double-clicking really so painful? It’s pretty standard across OS X and Windows for most such actions…
The other documentation may just not have caught up yet, it being beta.
– on 10.6.8 and ‘New’ works as expected.
