Description

Markor autosave doesn't work, when my note open and then I switch to another app (e.g. Firefox). Manual saving before switching doesn't help the same way Upd: it's save but text disappear. I must close note, and open it again to see text I write

This PR addresses #839. ~~I have liberally borrowed from OpenLauncher/BackupHelper~~

This PR now does not export a zip of the shared preference XML files (as openlauncher does). Instead, the preferences are exported as a JSON.

UPDATE Oct 10th: This PR adds ZimWiki support (see #393). It includes highlighting of ZimWiki syntax elements in the editor, view mode and basic text actions.

~~This PR belongs to #393. It is currently based on #1084 and #1088, but could be rebased if needed. The PR adds some basic text actions for the most important formattings in ZimWiki files:~~

This PR adds partial highlighting support discussed in https://github.com/gsantner/markor/discussions/1749

1. When text is changed we recompute the spans for the whole text
2. When we scroll, we apply the highlighting for the visible region +- height

This works rn but lots of work remains to be done

• [x] Documentation / docstrings
• [x] Several spans were disabled - these need to be fixed and re-enabled
• [ ] Lots and lots of testing (Will need help testing Zim, especially, as I don't use the zim format)
• [ ] I removed all the profiling code to reduce clutter. Need to make a call and all it all back.

General information

• App version: 2.5.0 F-Droid
• System: Android 7.0

Description

The issue itself is nicely visible on the screenshot below (sorry, IDK how to hide it to spoiler or something else)

How to reproduce:

1. go to Settings, General, then enable Experimental features there
2. go to notes' list, press "+" floating button
3. set any filename, Type: Markdown, Template: Empty file, checkbox "encrypt file content" enabled
4. write anything in this note
5. quit note or try to save it by ... button

Logcat

logreader_2020-12-26_16-00.log

Settings has a boolean option under preview section for RTL rendering. I think there should be an option for dir=auto option just like in HTML. Most bilingual users which write in RTL languages such as Hebrew and Arabic write sometimes in English as well.

Thanks for a wonderful app BTW.

General information

• App version: v1.2.2
• System: Android 7.0.1

Description

Currently the howto use Markor with X sync app is partially in the app and partly in Matrix discussion. It would be good to have a (markdown) document that describes howto setup file sync with NextCloud, Dropbox, Syncthing, FolderSync... . If you use something of those give some insights how it works, best with screenshots.
As one person very likely will not have all sync apps and services, yes multiple people can work on this :).

The resulting document will be be shown in the Markor GitHub Wiki and may be either integrated in the app itself (not decided yet).

Description

If I'm not mistaken since update of Markor to 2.10.1 I encounter the following: When I select text in one of my apps (for example Blinkist), then choose the option to share it with Markor the text shows up in the Markor window as selected(1). If I select Quicknote and then open the Quicknote there has been a space added in front of the text.

(1) except sharing from a browser where independent of selection the title and webpage link gets presented. But that might be another issue?

In general: Outstanding app! Highly appreciate the huge effort you put into it. Thank you!

Steps to reproduce

1. select text in an app that offers the option to select and share like k-9
2. select share -> Markor
3. in Markor select sharing as Quicknote
4. open the Quicknote: in front of the shared text there is a space added

Description

I usually use only the QuickNote file. Since some changes to that files got lost, I always press the "save" icon after updating this file. But it still happens that when I return to Markor, my last edit is gone. This is similar to issue #1537 but the difference is that I actively save my changes.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open QuickNote file in Markor
2. Edit text
3. Save
4. Go to home screen and use another app
5. Return to QuickNote in Markor: Sometimes the last edit is lost.

Description

Basic templating feature for shared content

I add links and content to my QuickNote file all the time by using the system "Share -> Markor" feature. It would be really handy and save time if the content to share could automatically have extra metadata and markdown/formatting.

I personally would like all of my saved links to be saved into a bulleted list with the date and time I saved them. I don't want the horizontal rule between each. I can manually add date information, but it is tedious. However I can't remove the HR. I also add tags.

Here is an example "Share Template":

- {{date}} {{time}} {{CONTENT}}

Here's a bit more elaborate one:

- {{CONTENT}}
  - {{date}} {{time}}

This would append the following to the bottom of whatever file is selected (I include entering example tags here):

- [Some cool article](https://example.com/cool-article)
  - 2022-12-03 21:32 #article #cool #followup

Note that the template should REPLACE the --- horizontal rule and linebreak that are currently added to the bottom of the file with the content. The default template would contain those things so the app continues to work the same way until the user changes the template. Default template might be:

----
{{CONTENT}}

It would be really nice to support common template tags, such as the ones Obsidian uses: https://help.obsidian.md/Plugins/Templates

For instance, {{date:MM-DD-YYYY}}. It supports all of the Moment.js format strings.

This could be expanded to include other templating commands, but I recognize the desire to keep Markor simple.

Description

In Markor, pressing H1 inserts a '#' as per the atx markdown spec. Markor already supports the setext format (==== and ---- for H1 and H2 respectively).

Can we have an option to have H1 (H2) insert '=====' (----) below a line of text using the setext format?

I'm imagining this would be togglable in Settings/Markdown. A switch that toggles between 'prefer ATX headers' and 'prefer setext headers.'

Examples of ATX and Setext headers for reference

# ATX Heading 1

## ATX Heading 2

Setext Heading 1
================

Setext Heading 2

Description

It would be nice to have an ability to work with "virtual" filesystems (not sure about the correct name), that are created by other programs like EDS (app to open luks/encfs/veracrypt containers on android), and, if I understand correctly, are to be accessed via Android Storage Access Framework.

When these filesystems are created, they are being shown in default file manager in the left menu list below SD card and Internal storage. But in Markor they are neither visible in the list of places under top bar folder button, nor files from there can opened in Markor when being selected in android file manager, the app just crashes.

Description

Sometimes when I launch Markor (or mordor) and the view it goes to isn't the default, like the todo list for example, when I go back to the folder view and hit the Plus sign the app crashes with this error:

FATAL EXCEPTION: main Process: net.gsantner.markor, PID: 28028 java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean net.gsantner.opoc.frontend.filebrowser.GsFileBrowserListAdapter.isCurrentFolderVirtual()' on a null object reference at net.gsantner.markor.activity.MainActivity.onClickFab(MainActivity.java:273) at net.gsantner.markor.activity.MainActivity$$ExternalSyntheticLambda0.onClick(Unknown Source:2) at android.view.View.performClick(View.java:7352) at android.view.View.performClickInternal(View.java:7318) at android.view.View.access$3200(View.java:846) at android.view.View$PerformClick.run(View.java:27800) at android.os.Handler.handleCallback(Handler.java:873) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:214) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:7050) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(RuntimeInit.java:494) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:964)

Steps to reproduce

1. Launch the app, go edit a note, and stay on that screen.
2. Switch apps, do other stuff for a long time
3. Relaunch the app, exit whatever view you're in and go to the Files view and hit Plus
4. App crashes

This is honestly a royal pain to reproduce, it's rare enough that I had to switch to using Mordor for a few days in order to see if it had the same bug.

Description

Application crashes happen wanted or not. Often users don't attach logfiles (in sense of adb logcat) to issues, which would make fixing the issue and finding out why it happens a lot easier.

So for that reason it would be great to have a crash handler at Markor, that after a crash pops up (i.e. a dialog), showing the stacktrace. Also a copy to clipboard /share to button is good to have, so users can export the log to i.e. upload it i.e. on GitHub or send by mail or something.

One way to go for this seems to be a Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler, here is some information:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3643395/how-to-get-android-crash-logs

As of whats not wanted:

• Preferably no additional dependency/library, looks like it can be done without too much on own.
• No upload, "call home", analytics, tracking features. The crash should be inspectable by user, and they should decide on their own what todo with the information
