tedit development and design discussion

@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.

@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.

@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.

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

@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 !

@domubpkm thanks for mentioning this. I mainly use dark theme, so I missed that in abiance. I will try to fix that soon.

@danfro Thank you, with this version Tedit works very well.

@danfro Hello. Did you make some progress to find a solution for a 'reading mode only' ?

danfro

@domubpkm I am sorry, I forgot to reply. Sadly so far I haven't found a working solution.

When setting the TextArea to read-only, we can't navigate in it. So no option. I didn't found time yet to see if some manually added controls allow moving the text in read-only mode.

I also tried (after your question, could you please open an issue/feature request so I don't forget about that?) to display the file in a webview. I used that successfully when testing something for weather app and webviews allow pinching and dragging and that.
But for some reason simply instantiating a webview component in the code, not even displaying a file, always crashes tedit (of course no error message that might give a direction where to look at). I am totally lost here why that happens. Many apps use webviews for various purposes.
