ScreenSteps Desktop is an application to help create step-by-step instructions, quickly. ScreenSteps 2.7 beta introduces a new feature to copy a 'lesson' to the clipboard so that it can be pasted into an email. This means that lessons can be emailed by Apple Mail to Posterous rather than have to publish to WordPress, TypePad, etc or ScreenSteps Live.

For some strange reason, when I sent a lesson to Posterous only nine of the thirteen images appeared in the Posterous post (sometimes it's ten of thirteen). The other images became two HTML 'br' tags. Ae well, all the images appeared in a long string at the bottom of the post and not in place within the text with empty image boxes appearing in the text.

Update: The problem was being cause by having the Preference checked to 'Sync Image Name to Step Title' in ScreenSteps. This caused images to have titles longer than 74 characters. If an image in longer than 74 characters then Posterous doesn't show it.

Solution: Use short Step Titles in ScreenSteps if the image names of synced to the step title.

After some perseverance, I discovered that if I emailed the copy and pasted lesson from Mail to Gmail (I used the Google Apps version of Gmail) and then Forwarded that email from Gmail to Posterous (removing the Forward text), the email appeared correctly, with every image in place, in my Posterous post. This is the post: Test - pasted ScreenSteps Mailed to Gmail Forwarded to Posterous

It's important to include the Subject line tag: ((nogallery)) in the email sent to Posterous, otherwise the images will be turned into a gallery album.

Update: One advantage this revealed is that the ScreenSteps clipboard content does not paste into Gmail directly. If you need to email a lesson from a Google Mail account then you can email to that account from Apple Mail then Forward from Gmail successfully.

Tip: Post ScreenSteps to Gmail via Mail

Give your problems to someone else.

I know it sounds cynical, but it's not.

You see, your problem is someone else's reason for having a business in the first place. It's their way of making a living. And it's likely your business model is based on solving someone else's problem.

You could even say it's problems that keep capitalism alive and well. Heavy.

あたまにきた雑記帳: いつか必ず起こるネット生配信自殺について

Hello all. This is just another quick update. I've emailed Apple iTunes Connect (the group in charge of the App Store) and Critical Thought Games, LLC (makers of GeoDefense) several times, this week alone, with no response from either. This is kind of strange since Critical Thought DMed me via Twitter to do so.

Just an editorial aside now: -----

I have a lot of patience. My patience is being worn thin. Apple touts itself as being "up there" in terms of customer service and loyalty, and usually this is well deserved. However, it is hard to believe:

1) Apple doesn't respond to emails, follow up emails, customer, and developer complaints.
2) Apple can't figure out that the problem is probably a very simple database problem, that can probably be solved by reloading the app entry into the database.
3) Apple doesn't follow up with developers that register a problem where Apple opens a problem ticket and assigns an internal tracking number.
4) Apple is so busy or has so few employees in iTunes Connect they can't follow up.
5) Apple charges people for apps they cannot download.
6) Apple wants to hurt its reputation.

But it seems that all of these points are apparently true. The app went live on the App Store on 11/3/2009. That's 21 days. That's a very long time for customers (mine and Apple's to be upset.)

I want to thank all of you again for your support, and patience. I want to thank you for all the emails, twitters, posts, etc all of you have sent to me, Apple, and others. Apple needs to:

1 - Support the small developer with one app as well as they support an Electronic Arts or an ngmoco, or others.

2 - Provide a way to escalate a problem within Apple. 

3 - Provide a real human contact for every iPhone developer for such issues.
4 - Respond in a timely manner to all problems logged.
5 - Follow up via a real human rather than canned emails.

Just doing these simple things would solve a majority of App Store issues.

Apple needs to get its act together and behave as a professional company rather than as a band of independent developers with no customer support.

I'm a single developer. I have no company behind me. Granted I'm a small developer, but I try to treat my customers personally and well. Not that I can't afford a support team, I just think it's the right way to run a business.

As far as 1.1 is concerned, I'm working on the wireless export function. This is a pain to get working, but I'm close.

 

On a side note, thanks to Andy Ihnatko @Ihnatko of MacBreak Weekly for the mention of Auteureist and its problems on the podcast.
And thanks to Leo Laporte for following this Auteureist Dev Blog. And of course, thanks to all of you.

Well, the title of this blog entry says it all. And I haven't heard back from the GeoDefense people either. Hopefully, now that the weekend is over things will change...

I do have some good news. Version 1.1 now has functional Research Voice Notes. You can record and playback recordings attached to novels or specific to chapters. The UI is pretty bland, but it works.

The Record button changes from Record to Save to Play, depending on what you are doing.

And here is a voice note in the Research List View

So the Research screens are now fully functional. Handling voice recordings is a bit of a pain in the iPhone, which is why it wasn't available in 1.0. You should also note that the toolbars have gone back to light/dark grey (as in the previous screenshot) rather than the light blue/green. This may be configurable in the future.

I've also changed some stuff to make the app a lot more stable. The last major thing I want to finish is the wireless export (wireless import has been working since 1.0). After wireless export is done, I will freeze 1.1 and start testing and debugging it.

This is just a quick update. I've gotten in touch with Critical Thought Games on Twitter. I've emailed them with the situation. Hopefully, they'll get back to me with some way to expedite a resolution. I hope so. I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything.

I've also been working on version 1.1. A couple of new features I've implemented include a "scroll-to-bottom" function. As part of my novel writing exercise I really wanted a way to get to the end of a large chunk of text quickly. The way I've implemented this is via a hotspot, similar to the hotspot that allows you to toggle full screen editing on and off. Here is a screen shot:

I still need to clean things up a bit, but you can see the two hotspots (light blocks) along the right edge of the screen. Tapping the top one will take you in and out of full screen mode. Tapping the bottom one will scroll to the very end of the text to allow you to append text to the end. I really like this small feature. It makes editing large chapters much easier to deal with. The hotspots are a lot less intrusive than the button I have in 1.0. I found the button (although very small) distracted from typing text.

The other new small feature is I've rewritten how Auteureist sends emails. In 1.0 Auteureist forces you to exit and launches the built-in mail app. This works fine, but you are no longer in the app. In 1.1 the new code uses the new capabilities of the iPhone's in-app email function. This allows you to export emails from within Auteureist itself. Once that's done you can keep working in the app without having to relaunch it.

I've also cleaned up some miscellaneous bugs along the way. More to come.
