![]() ![]() Note that I omitted the last two plus symbols as they are automatically added by Ulysses. The complete expansion looks like this (all in one row no linefeeds or carriage returns): The only thing you can’t do with my hack is order your sheets by date in the sheets view, but that’s not necessary as Ulysses allows you to order them by creation and modification date anyway. I add four positions, one for the space, two for the pluses and one for good measure. To make the two final plus symbols are printed and your cursor is outside the symbols/code block, you’ll also need to add a cursor move. The plus symbols designate a comment in Ulysses and comments don’t get output with any of its publishing formats. The two pluses are essential if you don’t want your date to print at output time. My expansion for this piece looks like this: I use both to be certain I will be able to make sense of it all in the far future. It’s an advanced text expander and calculator. This give you the day, week and month in ISO notation. Typinator, however, is the time-saving app of the company. And if you want to also add the date in another notation, you can do that too. If you want to add your own comment to it, you can add a description in front of it. If you only want to add the date, the Typinator code for that is: ![]() Removed the redundant Close button at the bottom of the Typinator window. The minimum system requirement has been increased to OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion). However, if you have Typinator 8 (review), you can easily create a date shortcut yourself and add it at the end of every Ulysses (review) sheet you finish writing. Typinators scripting vocabulary now includes statistical information (total number of expansions and corrections, saved keystrokes, average typing speed). ![]() If you don’t have Typinator 8, you’re out of luck as the System Preferences don’t allow you to create shortcuts without an equivalent command in the menu somewhere. Even if you’d be able to directly edit a sheet in the Finder, that wouldn’t be very useful as it’s a bundle and the dates of your edits only need to be stamped on the sheet itself to be readily available. Sheets are stored as XML bundles inside one of the Container folders, to be exact. Ulysses stores all your work in its library and that library is buried deep in your user’s Library. If you own a copy of Typinator, there’s a simple workaround for that. However, if you want to know the complete editing track in date format, you have to take a trip to the versioning feature. If you have the Ulysses text editor on your system, you’ll have noticed you can see your documents’ – sheets in Ulysses jargon – last edited date doesn’t have an option to show when you’ve last edited a document by selecting View > Sheet Preview > Dates. ![]()
