We want to hear from you! Please send e-mail to timestitcher (at) dcsoft (dot) com for your overall impressions, suggestions and issues.

Status

• [Jan 31, 2023] macOS version is available for download. Fast startup, and the icon is fixed.

Additional Documentation

Auto Save

Your stitches are auto-saved, 4 seconds after you stop typing. Also, you can manually save when you know they are stable by typing Ctrl+S.

Drag and drop re-ordering

Re-order your stitches by dragging and dropping them in the Stitch list (the left pane)

Undo / Redo

Edit your stitches with full Undo/Redo.

• Undo is Ctrl+Z
• Redo is Ctrl+Y / Ctrl+Shift+Z

Difference dialog

There is a preliminary but useful feature showing the differences between versions. Access with Ctrl+D.

• The pane on the right shows all the saved versions of your stitches. The date of the stitches (when they were saved) is shown. Manually saved (with Ctrl+S) dates are shown in bold.
  • Check 2 items in this pane to select the versions between which to see the differences.
• The pane on the left shows a 'git like diff' of them.
  • It's not too usable now. But it at least gives you an idea of your changes and access to older text that was accidentally destroyed.
    • HINT: You can copy/paste the text from the left pane and delete the extra stuff at the beginning of the line.
• Delete unwanted versions by selecting the desired version and typing Ctrl+D.

The ability to track stitches over time will be a game changing feature of TimeStitcher, so there will be entirely new UI's to access and view these differences. If you have any ideas of a "timeline view", please let us know!
