Auto update Markdownviewer preview panel not working anymore

[sebastienbo]

Hi,

The preview windows of the plugin is not update automaticly anymore, users have to disable and enable the view panel after each change. Is it possible to create a trigger that refreshes the viewpanel as soon as a user changes something to the source file?

Please tell me which version of N++ do you use? Do you use a 32-bit or 64 bit version?

Hi,

I'm using NPP v8.5.6 (64bit)

[mohzy83]

I tested the plugin (0.7.3) with Notepad++ (8.5.6 x64).
Everythings works fine including the update of the preview (after the content was changed).
My test env:

Notepad++ v8.5.6   (64-bit)

Mohzy,
I've found the culprit, restarting notepad++ solved the issue.

I think that the listener hook is not working properly just after installing the plugin.
A NPP application restart is required to ensure the keyboard listener is active.

Sorry for the confusion
