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

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... ?

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 ?

Some questions :
Currently,

• how to exit a file without saving ?
• how to open settings ?
• is it possible to come back to a homepage ?

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.

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

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?

Changes :

Help Button open link to Ubports Forum
Text is now selectable by mouse
Save disable until a file is selected
TextArea is disable until a file is selected
Word Prediction is disable until a file is selected
Set title as "uText"
TextArea get a border and rounded corners
TextArea add Scrollbar on right side
Show README file at starting

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.

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

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.

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 ?

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

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

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/
