“Editor” is the application that helps you to edit your documents and code. It has all the features of text editor and something more. There is a list of current features and it continues to increase:

  • Toolbar near keyboard
  • Number of lines and symbols counter
  • R-only: read-only mode (disables keyboard)
  • Autosave
  • Undo\redo
  • Search
  • Tab button
  • History
  • Code highlighting (javascript, qml, python and sh languages)
  • MIME-support

The application meets all basic requirements while working with documents.

Experimental:
-There is capability of numeration of lines. But this feature is experimental one that is why it works only for NOT loaded documents.

Some tips and comments:

  • Autosave feature stores your text in special file ending with ~, located in the directory where your original file is located. Don`t be afraid to forget to save the file or accidentally exit the app!
  • Don`t open files which ending with ~. The last version of document will be loaded automatically. So load only(!) original files.

Known bugs:

  • Combobox of tab can not be dynamically changed. It needs to reopen SettingsPage to see the changes.

Changelog: 

Version 0.9.1

Community reported fixes:
- Fixed hardcode of home folder
- Fixed onError bugs
- Updated translations

Note: I built it on 1701 Sailfish SDK because I have no ability to install newer right now. Tested on Jolla C. If somebody can re-build binaries on the latest SDK or implement CI in the repository it would be nice!

aarch64 contributed by levone1 from openrepos. Thanks!

Version 0.9

ADDED:
- Encoding manipulations
- opening different files than utf-8 should work better, you can specify your region or direct custom encoding type (by Python standards) (Asia cooperation needed, what are best encodings you use in Korea,China, Japan etc.)
- possibility to open file with different encoding
- possibility to save file with different encoding

CHANGED:
- Re-creation of the UI (a bit more informative and more minimized)
- On Ambience Theme you can pick your own color for the UI (buttons and some labels, but not all)
- better Ambience of the OS manipulation, mainly resolving differences on change between light or dark type of ambience
- few icons changed, button's icons have the same color as button's text
- "copy file path" - when you extend the menu on right side you have the path to file and encoding, just tap there to copy

FIXED:
- Line count works much more better(!), recounting on changing Landscape/Portrait mode

Known bugs:
- Combobox of tab can not be dynamically changed. It needs to reopen SettingsPage to see the changes.

I published new version, it should work fine.
Sorry for the long time until this fix :(

Sorry for the long reply, I was busy at my work...

My god... Will fix it today :)

Hmm. Just installed the latest version (0.8.1), and when I start the app, I get blank (white) screen !? I have Jolla C with the latest SFOS (2.1.1.26).

GoAlexander's picture

I tested it on later version of Sailfish OS + used old SDK. I have to upgrade it...
But can you start Editor from the terminal (enter harbour-editor) and send the output to me?

Upp15's picture

I don't know, how to copy text from Terminal screen!? It says something about ".../harbour-editor.qml:34:1: no such directory".

I took a screenshot, where can I send it? :-)

ferlanero's picture

Same here. New version only starts in a blank (white) screen. Sailfish 2.1.0.11

GoAlexander's picture

I had a few amount of time to test version 0.7.2 so if you will find any bugs - write me!
After testing I will publish this version in Harbour.

paolomi's picture

Hi, there is a bug in 0.7: autosave doesn't work!  open a file, type something, close editor (don't save of course), now there is the ~ file but without the last words added. (tested on jolla1)

GoAlexander's picture

Hi paolomi,

yeah I got the report on the github yesterday. I will try to publish quick fix as soon as possible (I am a bit busy for now). Sorry for this bug.

DameCENO's picture

Nice app, my default note app. I want to contribute with the french translation, if you can send it to me. It is easer for me to do with this app than on transifex.

 Here is my mail address dameceno@gmail.com

Keep up the good work man, you are appreciated

GoAlexander's picture

Hi DameCENO,

Thank you for your activity. If you edit translation file on the Github that will be much better for me.

Manual:

Register on Github and go to the fr translation: https://github.com/GoAlexander/harbour-editor/blob/master/translations/h...
On this page press button with the pencil "Edit this file" then change all strings with <translation type="unfinished"></translation>.

After that press "commit changes" below then there will  be something like "make pull request".

If you have any question - ask me. I am open for communication.

GoAlexander's picture

First screenshot of version 0.7!
Syntax highlighting and a lot of additional changes are on the way!

How to return nice pale blue green icon? New icon partially square is dull enough

GoAlexander's picture

You can replace manually following icons:

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/86x86/apps/harbour-editor.png

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/108x108/apps/harbour-editor.png

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/harbour-editor.png

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/harbour-editor.png

with old icons from here:
https://github.com/GoAlexander/harbour-editor/tree/master/archive/2_icons

There is another option:

I can deploy for you special version with old icon this time but I don`t want do it each new release of Editor.

The choice is yours :)

Version 0.4.2 is published!
Some news about the development of "Editor.":
There was pause between 0.4.1 and 0.4.2 version because I have an internship in another country (France (if somebody wants to meet me in Rouen - you are welcome :) ) since January. So 2 month I can not be active in development of "Editor." :(
But...
There is good news! In my university there is new subject where we have to develop our own projects in teams. I suggested "Editor." project. So I "hired" 3 persons to the project (another one is 50/50). I hope that project will get new boost. They don`t have any experience in Sailfish OS/QML but I hope that they will do a lot for project. I will help them. I think also that we will work more with community.
Our team will try to improve "Editor." and Sailfish OS platform!

Personally I have one more motivation to develop "Editor." - I need good mark in this subject :)))

Please answer the following questions:
-What do you think about to create twitter-account for "Editor."?
-Do you want to read ALL news according to this project? Even reports for my subject?
-What do you understand under words ""Editor`s" team should work more with community"? :)

Big thanks to rabauke who commited really nice translation update.

Skillmon's picture

From what I can tell (usage for like 1min) the tabulator is behaving strange. When I type and hit the tabulator buttom without a widespace the whole word gets indented. With hitting space before pressing tabulator the tabulator gets inserted after the word. Also it would be nice if the virtual keyboard would stay after pressing tabulator.

In addition I have a small feature request: Setting for expanding tabulator into multiple spaces (4 would be a nice preset for this). I'm going to use your app for the time being.

PS: Do you want bug reports here or on github?

GoAlexander's picture

Thanks for the reply.

Bug reports and feature requests are prefered on github. Please report them.
I checked your bugs and I can`t simulate them on my phone... All works fine by me...

 

Skillmon's picture

Then maybe this is related to Dolphin Keyboard. I'll investigate. Will open a ticket, if this also happens on stock keyboard.

GoAlexander's picture

I asked to test tab two users they sayed that everything ok. 

Anyway open the ticket with your feature request.

GoAlexander's picture

Hurray! Version 0.4 released!
If you will meet any bugs (but read section "Known bugs") or ideas for improvements write me. I want to do Editor better as possible.

P.S. If you want to support me make a donation or star repository at the github :)

paolomi's picture

Congratulations! this version is extraordinary: undo/redo and history! it's perfect! I've uninstalled jolla-notes because now your editor is much better! you are a great man! :)

GoAlexander's picture

Thanks paolomi, does history work correct (expect $HOME - garbage)? I got report that history doesn`t work by one user...

yuri's picture

It works very well also on my jollaphone: many thanks for this incredible 0.4 version!  :)

GoAlexander's picture

Thanks for the feedback. Report about not working History was the case mentioned in "Known bugs" (guy pressed history too fast after opening new document)

paolomi's picture

Until now, I've found no problems about history on my jolla

silverhook's picture

I like it quite a bit. Please continue developing it :)

DarkTuring's picture

Does not save because pulley menu doesnt engage (click on save option). I use 2.0.4.14 or 2.0.5.6 wont work for either 5.5" screen ~400dpi.

 

I should also add that i cant save because Editor program is only opened in Read mode meaning some sortof permsission error during install.

 

 

 

 

GoAlexander's picture

Can you name your device and SFOS`s version? Try to start app from terminal (harbour-editor) and send me what it writes. I have to undestand better your problem.

P.S. I wrote in descriptions: Warning! Because of FileManager "Editor." requres Sailfish OS version >= 2.0.5.6 (last version without this dependency is 0.2.3)!
But because of this dependency should not work buttons "Save As" and "Open". Strange behaviour on your device...

yuri's picture

Hi :) your pulley menu is amazing: I've never seen such a beautiful pulley menu: you are great!

BTW,  I have no "Save as" bug, I've saved a document containing 1 line (1 word) and the document created isn't empty!

One last thing: if you don't write c++, you can avoid compiling it and you can run your program with the following command:

sailfish-qml harbour-editor

Try it, it works. In other word, if your program isn't written in c++, you can make one package for all architectures.

Bye :)
