        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? 🙂

                        oh 😮
                        I like uploading 😛

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

                          I don't know about that, sorry (I assume you've read https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt5-5.9/internationalization.html) and that the answer is not there.

                                hello,
                                a file is only saved if you click on 'Save' so you can open as many file you want without modify it.

                                the settings are on the left, swipe from this border to the right to open the setting page (currently in progress, there is nothing except the font size information at the moment , eventually in the nect version you can change this + chosse a theme)

                                There is no possibility to go back to the first page as you can simply open anothere file, but what are you thinking about a Top List of open documebts so you can choose between them to easy work on multiple files ?

                                  @BlueKenny Sorry for the late reply : too busy.

                                  @BlueKenny said in uText [ Help / Devel ]:

                                  if you click on 'Save' so you can open as many file you want without modify it

                                  Ok if you think it's not too much useful

                                  @BlueKenny said in uText [ Help / Devel ]:

                                  swipe from this border

                                  Ok it missed the morning coffee for me ! I couldn't do it this morning even if i saw your explanation 🙂

                                  @BlueKenny said in uText [ Help / Devel ]:

                                  no possibility to go back to the first page

                                  Ok..

                                  To your last point, for my part, i don't like to much work with several files open at the same time. It's only my opinion. If you do it we must have the possibility to save a file or to exit a file when you want.

                                  But your app can be very scalable : maybe will open (so as to work on them) various file formats in the future... ?
