tedit development and design discussion

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.

@danfro said in tedit development and design discussion:

option to clear the apps cache (settings page)

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

Josele13

@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.

@danfro Hello. Don't forget to put the direct links of builds because morph doesn't work with gitlab .

danfro

@domubpkm Oh, I keep forgetting that. Here it is for arm64 ~~https://gitlab.com/Danfro/tedit/-/jobs/8989651946/artifacts/download?file_type=archive~~ I may as well provide the one with the toolbar button: https://gitlab.com/Danfro/tedit/-/jobs/8989958545/artifacts/download?file_type=archive

@Josele13 The version will be the same, only when I make a new release it will change. The question is, do you run the app installed from OpenStore? Or did you install it from the link to the pipeline which I posted?

danfro

@Josele13 Ok, fine. I will add that then.

Josele13

@danfro it is the openstore version

Josele13

one other thing to note,
I open the Tedit app
I turn off the screen by pressing the power button,
I turn on the screen by pressing the power button and unlock the home page, the Tedit app has disappeared from the screen,
if I do the same with another app it doesn't happen, the app is still in the foreground.

I open more apps including Tedit, for example three open apps,
I turn off the screen by pressing the power button,
I turn on the screen and unlock the home screen with Tedit in the foreground and the app disappears and I am left with the other two apps.
If I turn on the screen while Tedit is in the background, it is still there and I still have the three apps open,
I do not know if I have explained well.

@Josele13 Sadly that is know to crash. The version you can download from the link above contains a possible fix for the crashes. I am not 100% sure though, I could be only lucky, but I had no crash since using that.

danfro

@Josele13 Yes, I had this too, so I know what you describe. This as well might be fixed now.

domubpkm

@danfro not the problems discribed by @Josele13 for me with your last build. But before the last build, i don't know if the problem was there on the volla 22.

danfro

@domubpkm On my OP5T, I had tedit open and any other app. When I was doing the short swipe on the right edge to quick-switch between the two apps, tedit would always crash. But this seems to be fixed now.

In the end it doesn't matter too much if you had it before or not. Important is, that it doesn't happen anymore now.

danfro

I just released v3.5.0 of tedit, should appear in OpenStore soon.

domubpkm

@danfro hello. The arrow button to toggle toolbar on and off seems to be not very visible. Maybe improve contrast in a next update, if possible.

And just to point out that you are doing a great job improving Tedit. Thanks again !
