tedit development and design discussion

@danfro Got it! I just notice that a log file named "tedit.log" has been created in my home directory on my PC, funny isn't it?
So I could pick it up in my Thunar files manager and copy - paste the information of a sequence below. So here we go:

Dec 02 22:38:15 ubuntu-phablet systemd[2701]: Started lomiri-app-launch--application-click--tedit.danfro_tedit_3.4.0--.service.
Dec 02 22:38:15 ubuntu-phablet aa-exec[18696]: library "eglSubDriverAndroid.so" not found

Dec 02 22:38:19 ubuntu-phablet systemd[2701]: lomiri-app-launch--application-click--tedit.danfro_tedit_3.4.0--.service: Failed with result 'signal'.

I can provide you more sequences if you need, although there are not so much differences.

Hope it could help.

I'm not keen on installing apps such as "Log Viewer", which can lead to system instabilities)

https://open-store.io/app/logviewer.ruditimmer is a great click easy to use. I Never had any problems or instabilities with this .click .

danfro

@domubpkm I never had instabilities too. But since the app is unconfined, I understand that users are reluctant to install it just for some logs.

Yes. But it can't be otherwise for you who are used to developing .click?

danfro

@stanwood Btw. thanks for your logs. The second last line looks familiar to me. The part Main process exited, code=killed, status=11/SEGV might be a trace.

Just got a broken tedit again. But I don't have this message in Logviewer. Interesting, in terminal I get this message too, but from systemd service, not tedit. So filtering seems to be handled different there. I will have to ask other developers maybe if they have an idea.

@danfro I am not making a cause and effect relationship, I am describing what happened (volla 22 OTA 7) while everything was ok for some time:

installation of Mimi 0.1.3 then crash of Lomiri at the 1st search under duckduckgo.
clear cache config data then uninstall Mimi.
copy data in Tedit with prolonged finger presses: Tedit crashes.
copy data with virtual keyboard: ok.
copy data with prolonged finger presses: ok again.

danfro

@domubpkm Thanks for the report. Sounds like it may be related to clipboard and/or long press copy/past. Although that may not explain why it cashes when swiping. But its something to look into.

domubpkm

@danfro It seems that changing channels (i went from stable to devel) is enough to crash the copy with a long press. Works again without crashing after a copy with the keyboard.

danfro

@domubpkm I will need to investigate the copy/paste functions of the TextArea. That might conflict with system clipboard. But not today, its Christmas. Have a nice time everone and I hope you can spend some days in peace and with friends+family.

Hi everyone. You may have noticed, that I was busy recently working on weather app. Now I found some time to dig into tedit development a bit.

@domubpkm and others may like one of the new features now available for testing: file list search.
Please test the build from the latest pipeline: https://gitlab.com/Danfro/tedit/-/pipelines/1645371249/builds and let me know if that is working for you. I am mainly interested to hear how it performs on long lists and other devices.

danfro

Another new feature that is already added, is regarding import of files. When you import a file that already exists, the new file will now be renamed and a timestamp is added. So it does not overwrite the existing file.

domubpkm

@danfro Hello. Thanks for the search files feature, very useful. Works well for me on Volla 22 with currently 70 files in Tedit.

danfro

I got some more work done. Please test the latest build: https://gitlab.com/Danfro/tedit/-/pipelines/1645717005/builds

Changelog for the next release so far would be:
v3.5.0

added: search option for file list
added: setting to open the file list on app start
added: option to clear the apps cache (settings page)
improved: importing a file which already exists, now gets a timestamp added to avoid overwriting
- fixed: occasional crashing mainly when trying to copy or paste
fixed: highlight encrypted now doesn't also change wrap setting
updated: translations, many thanks to all translators!

I may have found the reason for the crashs (paste clipboard button enable conflicting with TextArea paste enable). Not sure, I might have just been lucky though. So please test for that.

Ok. I installed the last build.
Why do you say 'the apps cache' ? do you mean tedit cache ? Isn't it the app (no s) cache ? or tedit cache ?

danfro

@domubpkm :thumbs_up: I guess "Clear tedit app cache" is better. I will change that.

danfro

Btw. how about a button to toggle the toolbar visible/not visible? Would you consider that useful? The padlock would be sitting on the left side of that button.

@stanwood I also have this issue, I had not noticed this, my cell phone is in RC.

danfro

@Josele13 Do you still have the issues with the build from the latest pipeline?

Josele13

@danfro I have Tedit version v3.4.0

@danfro is a good idea --------> Btw. how about a button to toggle the toolbar visible/not visible? Would you consider that useful? The padlock would be sitting on the left side of that button.
