TextFold 0.10.48

The PDF engine converts again where it had stopped, and a few fixes in the reader.

The PDF engine converts again

A PDF engine installed since October 22 could stop converting, with No module named 'docvortex' in the log. MinerU 4.0.10 allows any docvortex before 1.0, and docvortex 0.6 changed what MinerU calls. TextFold now installs docvortex 0.5.16 with MinerU, and an engine that already has 0.6 or later gets 0.5.16 back once, before its next conversion: no need to remove and install it again. Thanks to @kulbhushanchand for the report and to @QAbot-zh, who found the cause.

Updates on Windows

From this version on, an update waits for TextFold's server, and every process it started, to exit before the installer replaces the bundled Python. (The update to this version is still installed the earlier way.) Each line of server.log also says when it was written, and each start says which version it is. Thanks to @QAbot-zh.

If an update leaves TextFold unable to start, close it (check that no TextFold.exe is left in Task Manager) and run the full installer below over the same folder. Your library is not touched.

In the reader

A long citation joins its paragraph's lines instead of starting a line of its own, and a wide inline formula that the browser draws itself scrolls inside the text column, not the whole page. Thanks to @ShiTan-677.
