Disable preview? #1767
Comments
I agree with you. Markdown actually isn't supposed to be always rendered. So, I've thought that some one probably do not want to see preview at all. |
But, we need to think how should we present the option as UI. |
That's easy, I think; in the Preferences > Interface, add a checkbox under Preview and label it 'Disable preview'. Or you might edit the Toggle Mode on the Note view to give three options: Preview View, Double View, Editor View. Just my thoughts on the matter, and thank you for being open to the idea, and responding so fast! Edit: another nice way to implement it would be to be able to select a default view in the preferences (Editor Mode, Dual Mode, Preview Mode) which all new notes start with, and then have the view-toggle with the three options be note-depended. So then users can set their note to the preferred view for each note individually :) |
I am glad that the markdown editor can always display the editor mode. If the state of the lock button displayed in editor mode is remembered like a toggle button, this problem may be solved. This code is in WIP, but I tried saving the state of the lock button. |

@hidaiy I'm sorry. 😢 |
@Rokt33r; that looks good :D Maybe add an option to disable it entirely for just textual notes without need for markup? |
@Asitis maybe we could include a note type "Plain Text" or something like that.. |
Hi, I just downloaded boostnote and started testing it. Overall I really like it, but I have the same problem as the author of this issue. I find split panel very distracting, and I really prefer to always have markdown-view (preferably as default) or (rarely) rendered view. I think most markdown editors have three states - "editor", "render" and "both / split-screen". Option to completely disable preview works for me too. Of course I know that everyone have a different needs, just wanted to share my feelings. Thanks for working on this project. |

Was this changed recently? I feel like a few versions ago, it was either editor view or preview view, and it was great. Now we're unable to have an editor-only view? |
I agree with it needing to be 3 state. If I'm editing I want to see split view sometimes and full editor sometimes. If I am not editing I only want to see preview. What's the point of putting all the markup in there if you never get to see the preview? I guess if you are only using it for plaintext like Asitis then that makes sense. Different people will use it differently. With 3 state people can work how they want. |
I just came across this issue when searching for how to disable preview. It seems to be implemented now, so I just wanted to close this for anyone that comes across this in case they missed the feature like I did. #1693 |
I am not sure it is the same as described in this issue, is it? Maybe I cannot find the setting, but what I am looking for is to always see the markdown view, and optionally switch to preview mode. Is this possible already? |
This lock button is a pretty bad UX practice :( |
@yujingz Could you elaborate on why it is bad and what we could do to improve this bad UX? |
Really needed and appreciate this feature, thank you! |
I'm loving the app, but I have a minor request/annoyance; the preview-mode for me is not useful as I use it mostly for code snippets and plain-text notes. It would be nice to have a toggle to disable Preview, and just keep all notes open in the Editor mode.
Now I know I can set it fixed to splitscreen with Edit and Preview mode, but then the Preview mode just takes up space. I think it's a minor edit, would mean a lot to the value I find in the app!
