Release SwiftDialog 2.4.0 · swiftDialog/swiftDialog

New features

--notification can now accept --button1action to set a default action to take when a user clicks a notification. can be a URL or command:

e.g.

--notification --title "<text>" --message "<text>" --button1action "open -a Safari.app"

--notification --title "<text>" --message "<text>" --button1action "https://swiftdialog.app/"
Additionally, You can specify an additional action and define button labels :

--notification --title "<text>" --message "<text>" --button1text "Do Something" --button1action "/do/something" --button2text "Do Something Else" --button2action "/do/something/else/"
- --button1action will remain the default action if either the notification or button1 is actioned. button2action will only trigger if button2 is actioned.

New --windowbuttons argument - shows the close, minimize and maximise/fullscreen buttons on the window
- This enables all buttons by default (the maximise/zoom button is only enabled if the window is also resizable).
- Individual buttons can be selectively enabled by passing in one or more of close min or max as an argument, e.g, --windowbuttons min will only enable the minimise button
New --resizable option which enables the window to be resizable by clicking and dragging the window corners.
- Using this option implies --moveable
- NOTE: macOS will initiate new rezizable windows with the same window dimentions as the last run swiftdialog window. i.e. if a dialog has dimentions 800x600 when it is closed and a new resizable dialog is launched, it will also have dimentions 800x600 regardless of what --width or --height options are specified. Take this behaviour into account when using this option.

computer is a valid option wherever icon can be used (e.g. --icon computer). shows the visual representation of the device
New text= for image sources. useful for using emoji as icons for example --icon text=🙂
New color= for --background and --bannerimage so you can use solid colours instead of images for those commands --background color=red --bannerimage colour=#12a4b1
New --bannerheight to specify an exact height for the banner
Add Missing System Font Weights and Colors - pr #321
Added --hidedefaultkeyboardaction argument. Changes the default "Return" or "Escape" keys to require cmd+shift. This helps mitigate against non-intentional dismissal of dialogs. #125
Added a property to non switch style checkboxes that allows them to affect button1. This is useful for terms and conditions style checkboxes where you want to disable the button until the user has agreed to the terms.
- Example: dialog --checkbox "I Agree",enableButton1 --button1disabled
Added basic support for a date picker #224
- Example: --textfield "Choose a date",isdate=true
- NOTE: There is no date validation at this point in time. This capability simply puts the selected date into the textfield.
Added an option to have live validation of textfields that have a format requirement using regex.
- Enabled with the --textfieldlivevalidation argument
dialog --textfield "Enter in 4 numbers",regex="^\d{4}$" --textfieldlivevalidation

json processing properly accepts numbers now so {"width" : 450} is acceptable (as is the current method where everything needs to be treated as a string)
Icons used in listitems are now width limited in addition to height - this is important for sf symbol rendering so they are all the same size
fixed an issue where float to string to float conversion (if/when it happens) would fail if the number format for the users locale was 1.234.567,80 (this may be an issue in swift with how CGFloat is represented as a string as regardless of locale the float is converted to a string with a period instead of a locale specific decimal point - e.g. 123 becomes 123.0
