tedit development and design discussion

@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.

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.

@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.

@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

danfro

@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.
