IA Writer: Smart Folder and Quick Search, Return Pure Writing
In my impression, IA Writer \u0026 NBSP; has always been a tool for the main point of writing, which seems to have always launched some custom, systematic management functions. \u0026 nbsp;
In the nearest major version update, it takes a desktop feature and custom settings to iOS, especially file management and search, so that IA Writer should respond to increasing files. More calm. The IA Writer on the surface made an addition, essentially a subtraction of pressure in a large number of documents.
In general, IA Writer flexible three points while maintaining simple, and is still the lightweight writing tool we are familiar with.
Writing tool I have used on iPhone is \u0026 nbsp; byword, its * hard injury is The file management function is weak. I have hesitated not to turn to Ulysess - but I still don't need to have a big move. In fact, if you are like me, only the number of manuscripts is a bit more, and the manual finishing is quite headache, then the new version of IA Writer can make you easily.
Intelligent Folder
The Library interface * conspicuous changes, it is to increase a \"recent folder\". If you do this one, I don't have to book a book, but I have to edit it in the upper right corner, I will find that I can add a smart folder yourself.
This concept obviously comes from MacOS (even icon is also inherited from the Finder). The smart folder is actually a collection of search results that automatically collects the files that meet the preset conditions. IA Writer is powerful in search criteria, including content, document extension, and more, including text. I took my own habits on Mac and created a smart folder for special words in the mapping. I have a certain difference between the blog, the date and the diary, especially claiming and implanting advertisements, by matching these keywords, simply filtering several different drafts. 
The file is top
Compared to a powerful smart folder, the file top itself does not need to say, but it is too much.Some later.
To know that in the last month's update, IA Writer supports the documentation in other applications with Documents Peeker, plus access, Dropbox, etc., the number of files can be used \" Overflow \"is described. Maybe you are hard to imagine the feeding paper, but a blog, people who have used GIT, understand today's writing is not only a text file in a text file - the picture involved, reference document and configuration There are a lot of files, plus layer stacked folders, which is difficult to quickly find a document quickly.
Secure usage documents to top of the resource library, no more simple and effective ways than this, IA Writer is really late.
When IA Writer has a file of each channel, it is necessary to support bulk operation. The movement and deletion operations are unexpected, but it is unexpectedly that it also supports bulk renaming, and has a keyword replacement, which makes practical improvement a lot. In the past, I unless the computer was broken, otherwise * did not modify the file name on the phone, and changed a very hard force.
Unfortunately I have been exhausted by Copied Drag and Dropied, IA Writer's batch operation can only say that I have just followed IOS 10. If you can introduce drag and drop, the experience will come back to the next level.
3D Touch Preview 
Typical application is to quickly view the reference. With the shortcut search introduced by the next section, you can repeat the required reference documents, re-press the content, loose back to the input interface to continue writing.
Quick Search
IA Writer did not refuse, accepted all documents, and saw this time it spent very strongly reforms document management experience. . In addition to the horizontal folder, there is a longitudinal quick search, allowing your file tentacles and. If you have used MacOS version of IA Writer, memory * is deeply \"Open Quick\" function, now this shark reamerled the last iOS.
The shortcut search for IA Writer is very like Spotlight, not only lookup files, but also perform some operations, and it is global, in the editing interface and The repository is always standing. However, before introducing powerful fast search, look at the traditional search - find text and replacement - where to go. In fact, it is integrated into a shortcut search: you can open a text replacement in the search button on the upper left corner of the keyboard in the editing interface. If \"Use Regular Expresss\" is opened in the IA Writer settings, you can use the regular expression to make more accurate and convenient bulk replacement.
Keyboard operation and search syntax
The fast search * large effect is also greatly improved the practicality of the shortcut, so that the execution action is unimpeded. In the previous version, IA Writer has strengthened the keyboard support and claimed \"95% Keyboard\", but unfortunately the smart woman is mile-free, and it is worthy of the operation with the keyboard. It is not as rich as I imagined. Until the joining of global shortcut search, the shortcut keys have been used. Now, I can press the document to press the shortcut, call out the search box, enter the \"pre-\" Enter to the preview, then please ask the search box to play, type \"PDF\" to the car, the export file, the whole process is one, finally The 95% KEYBOARD claimed. This feeling is like using Alfred on MacBook: The application will be executed.
I also specially like a intimate design of fast search: Recent (Recent). If there are some operations in the settings, they will appear in \"Recent\", saving the strength of setting up. I often switch normal mode and night mode, I have used it once, and I will click directly in the search suggestion. Of course, as the key points of this upgrade, document management has also benefited from fast search. IA Writer prepares a set of search syntax for file search, and can search files based on keywords, date and other conditions. For example, if you want to narrow the search range to avoid searching for the full text, you can use \u0026 nbsp; name: Keywords.
Interestingly, IA Writer seems to have special feelings in space (Space), nearly half of grammar is related to it, I guess is a lot of space in English So, unfortunately, this is not big for us in Chinese users.
In addition, these grammar is still tender, more characters needed, such as \u0026 nbsp; text: \u0026 quot; keyword \u0026 quot; \u0026 nbsp;You can save (Chinese users are especially painful), and there is a certain increase in todoist, TaskPaper1 \u0026 nbsp, IA Writer, playing search syntax.
Overall, can search for file search, IA WRITER, I have used all the tools * with heart. I have also doubtful. Is a writing tool really need so powerful file management? But after understanding the needs of the columns, the public author's needs, I realized that a considerable number of users have a large number of manuscripts, there may be versions of different sites, and there is an urgent need for a unified tool to manage them. Cross-platform IA Writer is unintentional to provide them with an easy-to-use and cheap 2 \u0026 nbsp;
Custom Command Button ⌘command
In text editing, the update made by IA Writer is not too big, but further open custom command buttons are Users of customized demand are a small surprise.
If you still pay attention to other writing tools, you will not know that Drafts's action, Editorial's Workflow, IA Writer's command buttons are similar, used to quickly adjust the text format, insert specific content. But I don't like the designs of the previous generation: it can't be customized before.
Mimic the graphic button of the rich text is unable, but like the operation like a bold, the three-level title, I use the text to replace the direct input MARKDOWN symbol faster, I believe that each user has its own habits, unified The button is really difficult.
Now, it is finally possible to transfer these buttons. Within the new command button menu, you can edit it with a button. In addition to moving it to other locations, you can also replace its feature, I will change the \"small title\" with very little. IA Writer has a built-in command, including practical small features such as insert dates, fast box selection.
However, IA Writer still does not support itself, making a command button, which is also destined to use it as a inspiration capture device like Drafts, more difficult to compete for the main writing tool. But for lightweight MarkDown writing needs, IA Writer has been doing well. If you consider it's not too high price (iOS version 30 yuan) and cross-platform advantages (Android), it is an easy-to-use, cost-effective tool.
Tail
Six years ago, the MARKDOWN editor has not flowered everywhere, IA Writer and BywordIt is my choice for me.At that time, due to the problem of Chinese font display, I chose Byword, and I used to across the high school and university.
After several years, BYWORD has almost no new features, still maintains retro and romantic typing - release processes, writers seem to have a long island magazine, beat an antique trine; and IAWriter strives to improve the MarkDown editing experience with a graphical interface, and constantly try new features and new design languages.
This time, IA Writer's positioning is more obvious: a one-stop writing platform for easy use.I think it is still not a tool that is suitable for Power Users. Its customization and article distribution channels are limited, but for most MarkDown users, IA Writer operation is simple and intuitive, basic function is not lacking, WordPress is also overwriting * bigThe area of blog users, this tool is already enough.In fact, you will see a large number of users to ask developers to add new features.
