@fxha I advanced Mark Text Preference to v0.15.0 because I found that many of the features of v0.15.0 are currently related to Mark Text Preference.

[fxha]

I think we should prefix the entries with the category like file, editor etc.

Remember last typewriter and focus mode: Boolean #519

Please note that this can be overwritten by a session, so we can use the settings as default/fallback values.

Import and Export user setting file

What do you mean? electron-store saves data as JSON file.

subscription user need to input E-mail

What do you mean?

Please add autoSaveDelay (#971) to the list, so that changes are saved after a short delay to improve performance. Do you plan to add "real" GUI settings in v0.15.0?

I think I can commit a WIP PR from main refactoring later or tomorrow. I think we have to rebase a lot if we working on both issues simultaneously.

[Jocs]

I think we should prefix the entries with the category like file, editor etc.

• Now I divide the Mark Text Preference into four categories, universal, editor, markdown, theme, and the file you said should be markdown?

Import and Export user setting file

• User can import a user setting file when he first download Mark Text? So Mark Text can use the imported setting, is it necessary?

subscription user need to input E-mail

• Users subscribe to Mark Text, so they will receive a email when we release a new version or some big events.

Do you plan to add "real" GUI settings in v0.15.0?

• Yes, after the existing PR merge, I will start this work.

I think I can commit a WIP PR from main refactoring later or tomorrow. I think we have to rebase a lot if we working on both issues simultaneously.

• Great,I will first move the settings in the existing preference file to the new Mark Text Preference. Some new features will not be added for the time being. For example, Language, custom theme, etc., can not be used, the interface will be gray display, prompts the user that the feature is under develop.

@Jocs Please convert the list above in a task list to track missing features.

[renehummen]

@Jocs I would like to configure Mark Text such that the Sidebar and Tabbar always show up when opening a new window, i.e. as default behavior. Can this be added in the general section of the preferences as toggleable items?

[Jocs]

@renehummen In the future, a new feature should be supported. Mark Text will remember the last closed state, so if the sideBar was displayed last time, then the sideBar is displayed again when newly open Mark Text.
