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
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.

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 :)

I think I know why it works sometimes... :)
Do you open NOT only .txt files?
MIME association works only with .txt files. I have plans to extend it but I have a little time last time...
Which types of files do you open?

Any text/plain files, with or without .txt extension (example: /etc/hosts)
Also, I have set this statement in mimeapps.list:

text/plain=harbour-editor.desktop

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).

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?

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

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.

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.

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?
