Do you write a lot of drafts? Are you juggling and revising multiple scheduled posts? Dealing with lots of clicks in the Pachli UI to manage them?

The latest #Pachli Current (on GitHub now, Google Play soon) allows you to add "Drafts" and "Scheduled posts" to tabs.

Either:

- Open "Account preferences > Tabs", and add them there.
- Or, open "Drafts" or "Scheduled posts", and tap the "Add to tab" icon at the top right of the screen.

First suggested by @kaybee335 in https://fosstodon.org/@kaybee335/113590104271491370

Playing around with an option to underline links in posts, per the attached screenshots. Anyone have strong opinions?

## Show errors if the draft failed to send

Previously, if a post couldn't be sent (e.g., because your server temporarily rejected it), Pachli would save the post as a draft and show you a generic error message.

Now the error message contains specific details about what went wrong. If you regularly see errors posting messages you can send these errors to your server administrators and it will help them debug the problem. You can also select the text of the error message to copy it.

If you have pressed "Send" on a draft post and the sending process hasn't finished a circular progress indicator is shown.

## Switch to drafts you're already editing

Pachli allows you to write multiple posts at once. If you are doing this they will be shown in the "Drafts" screen with a pencil icon, to indicate you are actively editing them in another window. Tapping the draft, or the pencil icon, will switch to the window where you are editing that post.

## Select to delete

Previously, each draft had an "X" icon at the end to delete the draft.

Now, you can select multiple drafts with a checkbox at the left. When you do this a "delete" (trashcan) icon appears at the top of the screen. Tap that to delete the selected drafts (with a confirmation dialog).

These steps make it more difficult to delete a draft by accident.

You can't delete drafts that are (a) being actively edited (see later), or (b) being sent (see later).

Both screenshots show the same change, one for a large device, one for a small device. In each one the image on the left is the current UI, the image on the right is the new UI, with changes highlighted). The changes are:

1. Move the "#", "@", and "Language" buttons in the toolbar from the right to the left.

2. Move and shrink the avatar of the account you're using to the start of the "Posting as..." text.

3. Move the "Toot" button to the top right.

A new #Pachli Current is rolling out with a handful of cosmetic changes and bug fixes for #quoteposts.

User visible changes are:

1. If your server allows quoting the "boost" button now also shows a pair of quotes.
2. Following feedback, the background colour for quotes/ preview cards in light mode is slightly darker and in dark mode is slightly lighter.

Some screenshots.

#Pachli Current now lets you set your account-level preference for who can quote your posts.

Open Account Preferences, and it's in the "Publishing" section, per the attached screenshot.
