Improvements and usability update
First, thank you so much for your enthusiasm and feedback on our first backlink release. That's very motivating and refreshing.
And while we are hammering on the second part of the 'linking' feature, here come a few usability fixes you were asking about.
Copy links for several tasks at once
Multi-select several tasks at once and press lc to copy their hyperlinks.
Ctrl v into any place to create a list of links.
We use it to create one 'Todo list' for the next release or today's load of work. Linking doesn't change the overall list structure and allows you to have an alternative view.
An option to close linked tasks
Sometimes a task contains a link to another task. When you want to mark the task completed - do you want to complete the linked task as well?
In our experience, this happens in the 'To-do list of links' scenario we described above.
And in this case, closing linked tasks seems an appropriate, time-saving shortcut.
Enable it on your Settings page, and Checkvist will let you close two or more tasks in one go:
Breadcrumbs for backlinks
Backlinks show you where the list item is linked to. With breadcrumbs, you see it much better.
Navigate quickly to profile pages
Shift Shift is a universal command finder, but now you can use it for quick navigation, too.
If you forgot where exactly your backups are or where to change the date format, press Shift twice and find it with a couple of keystrokes.
We've hardened the security of the attachment storage.
Previously, when a customer was accessing the attachment, the link to the attachment was authenticated in Checkvist and the request was redirected to the "hard-to-guess" AWS public link.
This public AWS link could leak (in the browser cache, for instance) and could result in non-authenticated access to your attachments.
Now, the AWS link is time-limited. Previous public links in AWS are disabled.
Linking, linking, more usable, easier, faster linking.
