The vacation backlog, delivered: a real settings dialog, custom themes with a built-in editor, a UI that speaks five languages, quick notes, and the bugs you reported while I was away.

Settings dialog — Ctrl+,

  • General / Appearance / Editor sections; changes apply immediately, Esc closes
  • Reading width as percentage sliders, separate for windowed and fullscreen (zen) reading (#82 — thanks @Orcomp)
  • Table of contents side (left/right), folder search toggle, word wrap, preview pane
  • One-click editing of settings.ini, themes.ini, and languages.ini

Custom themes + theme editor

  • Press + New in Settings: name, base theme, dark flag, six colors with live swatches, a system font picker, and a live preview specimen
  • Themes persist to %APPDATA%\Tinta\themes.ini — hand-tune anything there, syntax colors included
  • The theme chooser (T) grows with your themes

The UI speaks five languages

  • English, 简体中文, Deutsch, Français, Italiano built in — Auto follows your Windows display language
  • Community translations via %APPDATA%\Tinta\languages.ini: a commented translator template is generated for you; any language with translations appears in the picker (日本語 / 한국어 contributions especially welcome!)
  • Based on @wxh-777's #84 — thank you!

Quick note — Ctrl+N

  • A fresh window straight into the editor: start typing immediately, and the first Ctrl+S names the file via the classic Windows save dialog (#85)
  • Also available as tinta --new from the command line

Fixes

  • Local images with Cyrillic (or any non-ASCII) paths now load (#87 — thanks @mrkingmidas)
  • Printing from edit mode no longer wraps at half the page width (#81 — thanks @a86022)
  • Dual-pane scrolling always reaches the end of the preview, and full-width :? work as shortcuts in Chinese input mode (#85)
  • The editor pane now renders Chinese with the correct glyph variants, matching the preview (#81)
  • Microsoft Store installs put tinta on PATH and offer default-app setup on first run (#86 — thanks @aszili)
  • Arrow keys scroll over-wide content horizontally in the viewer (#77 — thanks @goodenn)
  • Opt-in: B opens the file browser with the path box focused for paste-and-go (browserFocusPath=1, #81)
  • Opening the print preview no longer probes the default printer (fixes a stray Acrobat Distiller dialog)
