Method Schedule 0.6.0

Method Schedule 0.6.0

Method Schedule gives each person a call time of their own, puts the next shoot days on the call sheet, and keeps a history of script drafts.

Call times of their own

• A call and wrap for one person. Plan > Day Timeline lists who works the day, with a call and a wrap of their own beside each name. Leave them empty to keep the company's.
• Rest checks use them. Turnarounds and Rest measures each person's rest from their own wrap to their own next call.
• On the call sheet too. The cast list shows each person's call and wrap, in bold when it is their own, on the printed sheet and in the exported data.

The call sheet looks ahead

• An advance schedule. Every call sheet ends with the next two shoot days in brief: the date, the call, the pages, and each scene with its cast.

Script drafts

• Each revision remembered. Merging a script revision records it as the next draft color (Blue, then Pink, Yellow and on), with the date and the scenes it changed, added and omitted. Plan > Script Drafts lists them, newest first.

Smaller changes

• Files from this version. A schedule that uses call times of its own or script drafts opens in 0.6.0 and later, not in 0.5.0 or earlier. Every other file opens as before.

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 and tested automatically, but nobody has installed them by hand 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.
