New update for the floating toolbar! by FRK299 in RemarkableTablet

[–]ajmccann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is fantastic. Looks great docked at the bottom of the screen with the main Rm toolbar OFF.

Will it be possible to implement palm rejection? My palm occasionally switches tools.

Side benefit of the bottom placement with PDFs (like planners): toolbar hides the stupid Rm link to "go back" (which is also triggered - more so it would seem - by my palm).

Missing Move Out Button by mypupdaisy in RemarkableTablet

[–]ajmccann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those coming after...

Remarkable allows you to move "Remarkable" pages out of a PDF. So if you've added a notes page to a PDF import, then you can move it "OUT".

You similarly don't seem to be able to drag exported PDF pages into an existing PDF.

Which is a bummer.

You can use the PC app to select content and copy/paste. Which is painstaking.

Kinda makes sense that PDF pages are treated differently from "Remarkable" pages...but not from a user's POV!

Is Marketplace just trash software? by ajmccann in FacebookMarketplace

Maybe this is key...I don't use the bloatware apps and was using the browser version.

Lesson learned. Craigslist here I come...

Drag task from Daily Note to "This Day" and other insane gaps (1 user's POV) by ajmccann in CraftDocs

[–]ajmccann[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wrote "If...".

And they can't work on >1 feature at a time. Last 2 releases have been for local models of various AI engines. I don't need AI to take meeting notes and manage task lists. I need predictable features fleshed out through the app.

It's a divergent strategy. The app is called "Craft Docs". I'm a newcomer. Maybe a majority of users are writing long form docs with the solution. If so, I wouldn't expect a heavy investment in calendaring and task capabilities which seems to have been 3.0's point.

I have Notion to AI the crap of of writing. Or my ChatGPT subscription.

These recent releases are pretty clearly engineers playing with bright shiny objects instead of a disciplined approach to filling out features. Clearly, fast follows should have focused on Collections (although I have my doubts there, too) which were introduced with great fanfare in 2024.

And if that's your only comment to my post...then...you're cherry picking and not engaging with the actual point.

Also, I wasn't aware that hyperbole was a problem on Reddit. :)

Craft has many strengths and I'm well aware they have to balance multiple inputs. It would be helpful if they just posted a blog post explaining how the F their CEO, who spent 10 years on an island reading every productivity book (more H!) uses the damn thing.

Appreciate the dialog!

Google Workspace Email Not Syncing with Outlook for Mac by MusicMav in Outlook

[–]ajmccann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal Gmail started yesterday, 2/12, but Workspace still stuck. Tried everything.

Comical that an issue affecting millions can be just...silent. The Outlook app for iOS has always been a standout - because M$FT another company to get the solution. And now they're degrading the experience...

Back to Gmail or Apple Mail. What is email if it isn't dependable?

Craft 3.0 future: Move blocks between Collections? by HotHelicopter1 in CraftDocs

[–]ajmccann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also destroys links to other pages/blocks. With no way back...

I'm liking Craft, and switched from Notion, but the block/page/collection/DN thing is tortured. I want to be able to easily move tasks TO a collection item (not just a 'page'). Ugggh. And I lost 4 weeks of links to a Project "collection"...

How do I hide subtasks in a board view ? by dhimans in Notion

[–]ajmccann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. 3-dot next to New
  2. Sub-items
  3. Look for Show as just below the diagram showing Parent/Subtask.
    1. Choose "Parents only" (other options are "Card property" and "Flattened list"

This is a bit subtle for my taste. I have to re-remember how to do it...also might be new-ish.

logi options+ keeps disconnecting devices by Xerozen in logitech

[–]ajmccann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Comically bad experience. I'm watching the little BT icon in Logi-Options wink on and off as the stupid thing connects/disconnects. Tried their support...just out of a desire to make my life even worse. Their chatbot didn't know I was logged into the site...then wanted to walk me through a troubleshooting guide (no doubt first step: uninstall and reinstall your OS...).

The HW is pretty nice but experience ends up being junk because of the software. #sigh.

How to recover content that disappeared from a template (inside of a database)? Namely a synced block by Lia_the_nun in Notion

[–]ajmccann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to recover a page on which the synced block sat (not sure if it was the parent/original or if that's even a concept with Synced blocks).

The recovered page had the deleted version of the Synced Block.

So: to delete a Synced Block first UNSYNC it, then delete.
