Method Schedule 0.4.0
Method Schedule 0.4.0
Method Schedule now keeps track of what was shot, and opens schedules from other apps that add their own notes to the file.
What was shot
- Mark a scene shot. Right-click a scene on the board and choose Shot to say how many pages were shot on its day and whether that finished it.
- See it on the board. Scenes shot in part get a thin green edge, and finished scenes are dimmed. Each day break says how many pages its scenes still have to shoot.
- Shot against planned. A new export puts each shoot day's planned pages beside the pages shot and the pages left, with a second sheet listing every scene.
Schedules and other apps
- Room for other apps. A schedule file can now carry notes another app added, and Method Schedule keeps them and writes them back untouched. Older versions of Method Schedule won't open a file that has them.
- Tagged scripts fill your categories. Importing a tagged .fdx script now puts props, vehicles, extras, costumes and the like into the matching categories instead of making new ones.
- Drift as a spreadsheet. In Schedule Locks, the drift since a lock exports as a spreadsheet (.xlsx) or a CSV file.
- What changed since a backup. Revert to Backup has a What Changed button, so you can see what a backup would undo before you go back to it.
The sample
- Pictures in Field Station. The sample's park truck, quad bike, hand radio and paper map now have pictures, drawn for the sample.
Fixes
- Update checks trust only certificates they should. Two problems found this week in the code that checks the update server's certificate are fixed. Updates were already safe to install, since the app checks each download's signature first.
- Keys on Windows and Linux. No shortcut uses a key that Windows or the usual Linux desktops keep for themselves.
Known gaps
- On an Intel Mac, the app has been tested by the automated tests, run the way an Intel Mac runs them, but not yet by a person on one.
- Windows and Linux builds are made automatically, but nobody has installed them yet. The Windows installer is unsigned, so Windows shows a warning before it runs.
- On Windows and Linux, opening a second file while the app is running starts a second copy of the app.
- Printing uses Letter paper only.
Thanks
- Everyone who has tried Method Schedule so far. Bugs go to Issues and questions to Discussions, both on GitHub.
