Editor.
“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.

@GoAlexander could you disable Sailjail? I can't save anything to a file.

I have a link pointing to my SD card from /home/defaultuser called "sdcard". I have no idea whether it's a hard or soft link.
I saved a file in Editor whilst half asleep to /home/defaultuser/sdcard/1.txt (according to History tab). I now cannot find it nor its backup. Is there any way to recover it?

So I found that in line 200, there was a comment-out, but you also need it in 201 and 202, so it's like this
//onError: {//console.log("###", fileName, error)
//}

Hi levone1,
Considering requests unfortunately I don't have time for the active support right now but I am open for any pull requests or patches.
I will try to make a look on the bug with onError next week but I have only Jolla C. In addition I got a message that the app rejected from harbour store because of the hardcoded path (nemo). I will try to make a look on it too.

I published a fix (0.9.1) with suggested fixes. I hope it will work now. I tested on Jolla C - all is ok. If somebody can re-build it with latests SDK it would be nice. I will re-upload binaries in this case.

Hi. Thanks for updates. .. Now that tIDE is not working anymore as of 4.0, (top menu won't show because of some change in code having to do with 'qtrectangle' and qml animatedloader), I pretty much depend on this. I had a couple of requests. .. 1) Could you make highlight option be persistent via settings? 2) Could you enable back-swipe to previous directory, after editing file? What I find difficult is having to browse through files from scratch every time I finish one, when the next file I want to edit is in the same directory, (I did edit my chooser page qml to have the directories I use most, but the layout only allows for 3 entries, and then the directory entries start showing on top of the history entries. Haven't figured out the code to change that). Then, after opening the file, having ro tap 'show toolbar' then 'more' arrow, then highlight button, over and over. I think it would be nice to have easier access.
Top bar in tIDE works great, but now is broken... Maybe something like that. ..
Thanks again

Hi, so far, the only way I found to edit a file that is not in the /home/nemo/ tree is using terminal command like 'harbour-editor /media/sdcard/15F1-1154/Documents/mydoc.txt'
Isn't there an easier method to do that?

Hi,
You can also to make Editor your default editor and open this file with a file manager like File Browser.
Currently there isn`t any another way to do that :)

Do you open NOT only .txt files?
