Support adding multiple tasks at once. #179

Tasks are delimited by newlines during entry.

Hey Brendon, Can we get this to work the way the Android app does -- with tasks delimited by a single, not a double, newline?

brendonjustin commented 11 years ago

Sure. Commits and pull request description updated.

Fantastic, thanks! Last q: how difficult will it be to add hint text with line breaks in it to let the user know batch entry is possible? Here's what that looks like on Android:

Can we just add a newline to the placeholders.plist values?

The multi-task hint text rotates between 5 possibilities:

    <string name="tasktexthint0">Draft chapter 1 +Novel @typewriter\nCall literary agent @phone</string>
    <string name="tasktexthint1">Learn to code +SelfEducation\nBuild a killer app @computer</string>
    <string name="tasktexthint2">Take the road less traveled @Woods\nMake all the difference +Life</string>
    <string name="tasktexthint3">Schedule chain mail fitting @castle\nSharpen sword +SelfPreservation</string>
    <string name="tasktexthint4">Complete weekly review +GTD\nAchieve mind like water +GTD</string>

Forget I asked! I just tried it and adding a newline in the plist values (Option+Return) works. I'll do that bit. Thanks again!
