      Hello,

      uText is a very basic Text editor for Ubuntu, hope it will get an adaptive UI for Desktop too...

      If you have Ideas / Questions or Bug reports, you can post it here.

      Hope you enjoy it 😉

      If you like testing the Devel version, visit my gitlab page:
      https://gitlab.com/BlueKenny/uText/-/jobs

      Feel free to donate a little bit to help developping 😉

        @BlueKenny hi, thank you for your work.

        Are you going to make that app translatable?

        Both "Save" and "Help" aren't working. Tested on a Nexus 5 (rc) and on a BQ E4.5 (edge).

        Do you want me to file a proper issue report on https://gitlab.com/BlueKenny/uText/issues?

        Edit to add: there isn't anything useful in the uText log about "Save" but this is the Morph log when tapping on that "Help" button in your app https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/9JnXQZsVSr/

          @BlueKenny testing utext.bluekenny_19.4.3_all.click:

          • "Help" is working because is pointing to this Forum now
          • "Save" is still failing

            yes i fixed the 'Help' link some seconds ago 😉

            Save doesn't work on a new file ? or a opened one ?

                So i disable all components, except "Load" and "Help" button if no file is loaded 😉

                PS: while loading, file explorer opens but there is no more button to create a file ...
                How can i change this ?

                  @BlueKenny yes, probably because "load" means "to load an existing file".

                  You can create a new text file using the FileManager before using uText, of course, but I don't know how to trigger that using the "Load" function in your app.

                    I'm thinking to implement a Filemanager styled page to bypass the filemanager to load and create things, but this can be alot of work...

                      @BlueKenny I'm out of my depth with that matter but maybe there's an easier way to handle that (?).

                      Maybe other devs have some other ideas about how to approach it. We'll see 🙂

                        First thing I would suggest is to not store the binary packages within the git repo. They will cause the history to get very large very fast, and keeping them there means anyone who would want to contribute to your repo will have to download them all, every time they clone the repo.

                        It would be better to configure automatic building of packages using the GitLab CI pipelines, and have the click grabbed as a build artifact. You can then link to the pipeline job, or directly to the artifact, for people to download it.

                              @BlueKenny I'm testing that version now. I'm stuck in this screen after opening the app:

                              photo_2019-04-16_20-00-16.jpg

                              How can I start a text from scratch? Do I need to create an empty text file first with a different app, and then load it in uText?

                                Hmm Yes...

                                At the moment there is no "Create new file button"
                                It think i should write this as an Info somewhere ?

                                  @BlueKenny yes, I think so. It's pretty confusing otherwise 😉

                                      @BlueKenny what do you think about maybe polishing it just a little bit before uploading that app? 🙂

                                        I start translating, but i'm not sure how to make this possible as its pure QML without compiling
