This highlight parsing issue should be fixed in v0.41

v0.41 should fix some of the issues mention on Fountain title pages

Very basic support for opening files directly in Deepdwn added in v0.41

Support for moving to the visual start/end of line has been added in v0.41 via Alt+Home and Alt+End shortcuts

Hi,

No, Deepdwn doesn’t have any functionality like that, being primarily focused on markdown.

As much as I’d like to see Deepdwn capable of doing everything, I don’t think those kinds of layout/ttrpg tools are a good fit for the interface or code base currently.

Sorry about that!

That’s probably what you need, but I have no experience with that device, and can’t provide any support for sequence8 there.

Thanks for the feedback!

This was actually (partially) already available in the default Mac key bindings, but was missing the move-to-start-of-line option. There’s an issue with how it works currently however.

I’ll see about getting that improved as well as added to the non-mac bindings

Both good points, I’ll try to get that fixed

Thanks for your feedback.

This is a planned feature and may make it into one of the next releases

Hi, thanks for the request!

This is something I’d like to have, but I don’t have any ARM hardware to test with at all, and I don’t think it would be responsible to release a new build I’m not able to verify.

I’ll add it to the list, if that should change in the future though.

Hi, thanks for your feedback.

As you’ve found, Deepdwn wasn’t really designed for that use case. It’s something I may be able to hack in at some point, but I think it would come with a lot of caveats, and features that don’t work the same when opening ad-hoc files.

I don’t have a timeframe for adding that, and I think it’s more likely that there would be a separate, Deepdwn-lite app without folders/tags/organization etc that could be used the way that you’d like.

For your use case, if there are a handful of projects you jump between most, you can add multiple folders to Deepdwn, and edit your files for all of them there, though how well that will work for you will depend on the number and size of projects.

Hello,

The mac releases have not been signed with an apple developer certificate. I don’t have a sonoma device to test with, but:

You should be able to either: Right click (or control-click) the app in finder and choose ‘open’, and then ‘open’ in the dialog prompt

Or (as I think you’re referencing)

You can install the application through the itch.io app, which also makes it easier to update.

I’d like to add something like this at some point, for sure. Can you tell me about your use case? How do you use the HTML exports today?

Hi,

Not at present. For HTML output, you could create your own stylesheet and add it (manually) to the “Unstyled HTML” output from deepdwn, but that’s not very convenient.

That’s great news! Thanks for the update :)

Well that’s no good! I haven’t been able to reproduce this locally with the same windows version.

Does it crash silently to the desktop or do you see an error message on crash? Do you see any errors in the logs? (located at %appdata%/Deepdwn/logs).

Does it occur with an empty document?

Does it occur when booting in safe mode?

Does it occur when using the File Menu > Export > PDF option? How about when opening the preview window and clicking the save icon?

Does it happen when exporting as HTML?

Could you try renaming the Deepdwn settings folder (%appdata%/Deepdwn) and seeing if it occurs? You can rename it back afterward to restore your settings.

I do see a crash when the print spooler service is stopped in windows, and probably related to this issue as well: https://itch.io/t/4120673/crashes-when-using-atlasos

Could that be the case for you?

could that be the issue?

I think it’s possible but can’t say for sure, unfortunately.

Will setup a VM on my free time and test if it could fix it or not

Thanks, let me know when you do!

Hi,

I don’t have any experience with AtlasOS, or what might be causing issues in that stripped down environment. Do you have Printing enabled?

https://docs.atlasos.net/getting-started/post-installation/atlas-folder/general-configuration/#printing

Hi, thank you for the report and the logs!

I unfortunately do not have an m2/sonoma device to try to debug this issue, but am hoping to borrow or rent one.

I don’t think it would help, but can you see if you also get the same crash in the universal build, but using open using rosetta?

Of course not. This is true for any digital content you buy, ever.

?

Thanks for the feedback!

What do you see as the advantage of minimizing to the tray, vs just minimizing?

I considered adding it early in development, but since it doesn’t really “do” anything in the background that you’d need to be notified about, it was never added.

Hi!

Thanks, I don’t think you’re missing anything, and both of these issues should get a fix.

Note that page breaks are only be visible in the exported PDF, not in the preview or in the editor.

Hi,

Thanks for attaching the markdown file, that makes this much easier!

I see several duplicate headings in the attached file:

• ->For X:<-
• ->For Y:<-
• ->Gravitational Force<-
• ->Equation of Motion<-
• ->Wavelength<-
• ->Power<-

These all appear twice, but they are under different parent headings.

If you don’t want to use the rule at all, you can disable it with:

"no-duplicate-header": false

in the “Markdown formatting rules” in “Preferences -> Advanced”.

If instead, you want to treat headings as unique if they’re under different parent headings (so that you can have Change in Position -> For X: is not the same as Final Velocity -> For X:, you can enable the allow_different_nesting parameter for the no-duplicate-header option instead:

"no-duplicate-header": {
  "allow_different_nesting": true
}

Hope that helps!

Hi, nice find!

I can reproduce the issue, and hopefully can get it fixed.

PS: Is there an option to change the type of highlighting (color, shape) in the preview ?

No, not at this time

Hi,

As you may have guessed, Deepdwn has no support for adding custom markdown elements, or removing the default ones. It would be very complicated to do so, and isn’t in scope for possible features in the future.

I don’t have great suggestions for your use case, but I would probably use <u>underline</u> and the existing strike through to represent your underlines and unreadable text, and then (if needed) style them as you like outside of Deepdwn, assuming you intend to host/display the digitized output somewhere.

Hi,

Yeah, there’s no character ruler implemented currently. I’ll add it to the “features I’d like to add” list, but not ETA on that currently :)

Hi,

The selected folder is in the sidebar under “folders” at the bottom. You can remove the current folder if desired, and/or add additional folders there.

Hope that helps!

I’m less confident that generated IDs would work for duplicated headings across files?

That’s certainly supported within Deepdwn, yes

FWIW, I also noticed that the syntax checker complains about non-unique heading text. Is there an easy way to turn this rule off?

You can disable that syntax check in the config in Preferences > Advanced > Makdown Formatting Rules. You’d want to add

“no-duplicate-header”: false

Hello, and thanks for the feedback!

While custom heading IDs aren’t currently supported, the automatically generated ones are unique. Generally, you’d use

[my first brown bears heading](#brown-bears)

and

[my second brown bears heading](#brown-bears-1)

and so on.

I believe there may be an issue with autocomplete which may by obscuring that feature as well, so I’m hoping to get the fix out for that soon.

Hi, developer of deepdwn here.

I’ve been using Textreme 1 and 2 for years and love them both also!

Thank you!

There is an issue with the description section of your document.

It needs to appear like this (with the key and content on a single line)

description: Organizing potential quests and story

or like this (with the content indented on the following line):

description:
  Organizing potential quests and story

Otherwise, the yaml section is technically invalid, and Deepdwn is unable to parse the metadata (in some circumstances), and you don’t get the correct title/tag/category display.

There is an advanced feature that ought to have been able to help with that (Settings > Advanced > Enable markdown format warnings), but I see that it has a bug preventing it from working correctly in the latest release.

If it was working, you might have seen this cryptic message, which may or may not have helped anyway.

Also I'm a little unclear on where tags from within the document show up, how you'd make tags akin to the chapter 1, chapter 2, etc shown in a screenshot on the product page, and how those differentiate from the outline tab.

Tags in deepdwn exist at the document level only, to help organize files together which share the same tag. 

In the product page screenshot, there are multiple markdown files (titled "chapter one", "chapter two", etc) which all have a common tag in their document metadata.

Hope that makes sense. Let me know if you have any questions about it!

It looks like your document's frontmatter isn't being parsed at all. Can you share the file you're having trouble with?

I'm not sure what you mean about aspect ratio scaling, as I would expect all scaling would maintain the original aspect ratio

Thanks!

I have, but (even ios aside) I don't think it fully meets my needs:

• Switching to fullscreen should require interaction (even if it can be used programatically), because it affects device navigation. So this means clicking possibly very small buttons.
• It may force landscape mode depending on device, which the user may not want, and usually hides native navigation buttons/menus.
• Fullscreen seems to cut off part of the deck display on small screens (ex: if width is < 512px)

For web-decker, are there plans to allow (probably blurry) non-integer canvas scaling?

On small screens, the locked sizes can leave a lot of unused space (and tiny elements), that could be better used by filling the screen with the deck, even at the cost of correct pixel scaling. 

The canvas scale itself can be overridden with CSS, but mouse event locations will be incorrect because of it.

I don't think new character strings will be added after headings, but double clicking heading prefixes to expand/collapse them will be added in a future version.

Technically, it's in the current version, but does not work correctly at all.

Thanks for the feedback!

This is something I have on my to-do list, but I don’t have any kind of ETA for you!
