CopierciN v0.3 Release Notes

Filed under: CopierciN, iPhone — Tags: , — gomercin @ 5:55 pm

New Feature:

- Export as new Safari Object: Now you can export the text in CopierciN to Safari as a new bookmarklet. Using the CopierciN bookmarklets, you can paste those text into textareas, test boxes and password boxes. It is a little bit complicated tho’:

1. Make your text ready in CopierciN
2. Select Export as New Safari Object (application will freeze for a while)
3. Close CopierciN and launch Safari manually, there should be 2 bookmarks: CopierciN-Initialize and CopierciN-Paste
4. Open the web-page which has the text, password or input box you want to paste your text into.
5. Open Bookmarks and select CopierciN-Initialize
6. Select the text-box in Safari, make sure the keyboard appears
7. Dismiss the keyboard, open Bookmarks and select CopierciN-Paste
8- Now, the text should be appended into the text-box

Let me remind that the pasted text is not the “copied” text, the entire text is pasted (appended at the end of contents the text box). So, to paste a part of the text in CopierciN, copy this part, touch the clear button and paste it back. Then, you can export this text as new Safari Object

Bug Fixes:

The application used to crash for some users when they select the “Import from SMS” option. Thanks to Chris, I found out the reason and fixed it. Hopefully, there shouldn’t be such problems anymore. Please inform me if you still have the same or a similar problem.

Some little fixes for making menus load faster.

What is not done yet :(

Contact list is still a mess. 

Selecting is still buggy. I think I will give it up for now and come up with an uglier but working solution.

SMS application is not launched automatically, same for other applications.

Writing to file and reading from it seems to be buggy for Cyrillic characters (and probably other non-UTF8 character sets) (Thanks Konstantin for pointing this out).

There might be more…

 

That’s all for now, please continue informing me about the bugs :)

  3. Hello! First off, WOW!! Thanks for this great idea. I was hyped when I first tried out CopierCin. Apple takes its time implementing this basic feature, and your app certainly fills that void.

    One thing that I found was that it doesn’t copy the entire text into the copiedcin window. I have several eMails that have quite a lot of text, and it gets trunkated after roughly a page of text as it shows in your CopierCin editing window! That makes it not very helpful right now, because I would mainly need it to put certain info/mails into the notes section.

    If that is something you could fix with the next few updates, this program would really rub it in with all Apple developers! ;-)

    Let me know whether that is planned and/or at all possible if you will.
    Greetings
    Chris

  4. george:
    That bug is interesting, I will look into that for the next release

    Jay:
    I believe something like that can be done with mobilesubstrate. I am thinking about that for a while now but I could not try anything like it yet. I am getting busier and lazier nowadays :)

    Avalon:
    I know that thing about e-mails but I do not know how to overcome that. The thing is, I couldn’t yet completely understand how iPhone stores the downloaded e-mails. The best I could do was to get summaries from the database and it is, as you have realized just a portion of it. I might find a workaround later.
