pdf-next 0.19.0 · Plain

• Fixed Markdown files opening raw: every file now opens rendered, whether it is new, opened from Open recent, reopened in a tab or restored with the session. Ctrl+U switches only the open file to raw.
• Changed the raw view to stay per tab and never be saved, so a restart shows the rendered page. A raw choice saved by an older version no longer forces raw.
• Added typing in the rendered Markdown view: a click puts a caret where you click, and typing, Space, Backspace and Delete change the .md itself. Typing over a selection replaces it. Math, code, links, tables and figures take no caret.
• Added Ctrl+Z for typed edits: a typed run is one undo step, and a pause of 0.6 seconds or a run of 200 characters starts a new step; each Backspace and each Delete is its own undo step.
• Added the Delete key to remove the selected text in the rendered Markdown view, with no right-click needed.
• Changed the right-click item that deleted at once to "Remove the selection from the file". Asking the agent to delete is unchanged.
• Added one inbox file per document, <name>_review.txt next to it, listing the open comments for the agent. The agent reads it, edits the source and asks in its terminal. pdf-next marks a Markdown comment done when its quoted text is edited or deleted.
• Changed comments to two statuses, open and done. The agent now reads the open comments of a document in one file read of the inbox file.
• Added a Done button to each open comment in the Review panel.
• Removed the question and reply flow and pdf-next reviews ask, which now exits with an error. Questions go in the agent's terminal.
• Changed the review store to a .pdf-next/ folder. Old _review.json and _review.agent.txt stores are migrated, and the old files are removed only after the new store is written and read back.
• Removed the .bak and .pre-v3.bak backup files and the _review.done files. Undo stays in memory for the session.
• Fixed a presentation writing to the file: Delete over a selected passage removed it from the .md, and a figure resize, Undo, a queued write, an Edit box or a note box left open could also change it. A presentation now writes nothing, and Delete, Undo, trash and Reduce PDF are not offered in it.
