TUAW Tip: get more control when creating new Journler entries

While poking around at my favorite new app for getting a lot of my writing done, I found a way to enable a bit more control when creating new entries. By default, Journler has this 'Use quick entry creation' preference checked under the Advanced pane, which allows you to create a new entry using the date as a title and the cursor inserted in the body of the entry, ready to rock 'n roll. Unchecking this pref, however, will instead present you with the dialog you see pictured, prompting you to edit the title, category, tags and other aspects of the entry before you get down to work. It all depends on how you want to get writing, but toggling this option can definitely give more power over creating entries to those who are using Journler for more than, well, a daily Journal.

In Jason's defense, I literally did forget to include 'Journler' when I first published the post. I changed the headline at the last minute before publishing to something I thought would reveal a little more about the post, but completely forgot to include 'Journler' in the title.

I probably should've commented as such so I didn't make Jason out to be a looney. Sorry Jason. :)

@Jason
Clues: Word in title with capital letter and odd spelling.
Conclusion: Program name.

OK. Confess to stealing ideas for this column from the Journler forums.

Thanks for the great tip - using the date for the title was driving me nuts, making me edit the entry piecemeal.

You might want to put the title of the program you're referring to in the title of this tip. It was a little confusing, because I don't use it.

PS: what a weird spelling of an app.
