[SOLVED] Lack of permissions to run a Markdown preview on Linux #34

@mf366-dev

Description

@mf366-dev

Description

When using the Markdown Preview option on a Markdown file, the browser won't open and the Markdown will not be seen.

(A solution to this problem is presented in the bottom of this issue.)

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior (on Linux):

  1. Go to Developer tab
  2. Click on Markdown Preview

Expected behavior

The browser should be called with a new tab previewing the Markdown file as an HTML file.

Desktop

  • OS: Linux (doens't matter which distro)
  • App Version: Any version with the Markdown Preview feature

Solution

This Markdown Preview feature basically generates an HTML version of the Markdown file and opens that HTML with the browser. On Linux, there are not enough permissions to open the browser but the HTML file still gets generated on WriterClassic's temp folder. If you double click it, you'll be able to open it manually on the browser.

Another way to do this would be by running WriterClassic as sudo which I assume should give it enough permissions to open the browser.
