Voltura Markdown 1.1.4

@voltura voltura released this 17 Oct 05:23

Voltura Markdown 1.1.4

What's new

  • Search shows the current match and total, such as 3 of 12, and navigation shortcuts when there are multiple results and room to show them.
  • The first match appears before background counting; next/previous navigation reuses the count. Matches retain about two text lines above them for context where possible.
  • Fixes the search field's right edge and prevents the Windows beep when pressing Enter or Shift+Enter to navigate results.
  • Prevents zoom-related scrollbar flicker, removes horizontal scrolling caused by empty centering margins, and uses the arrow cursor over scrollbar tracks.
  • Production executables exclude test options, verification routines, failure injection, and diagnostic timing code. These remain in a separate development test executable.
  • Retains the current website links and delayed default-reader correction from earlier releases.

Download and use

  • vmd.exe: portable, single-file reader. Download and run.
  • VolturaMarkdown-Setup-1.1.4-win-x64.exe: install for your Windows account. Run Setup again to update an existing installation.

@voltura voltura released this 17 Oct 04:01

Voltura Markdown 1.1.3

What's new

  • If .md files point to Voltura Markdown at another location, the reader offers Open Default apps to register this copy and let you confirm it in Windows Settings. You can dismiss the notice until the next launch.
  • Association checks start after the first content is visible and run in the background, preserving fast software-first startup. Reading and closing stay responsive while Windows checks associations.
  • Retains the faster software-first renderer and HTTPS product website from earlier versions.

Voltura Markdown 1.0.0

A compact, read-only Markdown viewer for Windows 10/11 x64.

Download and use

Choose from the release's Assets:

  • vmd.exe — portable reader; download and run.
  • VolturaMarkdown-Setup-1.0.0-win-x64.exe — per-user Setup with a Start menu shortcut and uninstall entry. No administrator access required.

Source archives contain developer files, not a built app. No separate runtime is required.

Open a file with Ctrl+O, drag it into the window, or run:

.\vmd.exe "C:\Documents\example.md"

F11 switches window modes. Escape closes directly when launched with a file path, after dismissing search/Help/About. Without a file argument, it leaves fullscreen or closes a normal window. The fullscreen X closes directly. F1 opens Help.

Setup's unchecked Choose as default Markdown reader option opens Windows Default apps for your selection. Registration is also available in the app's three-dot menu.

Features

  • Formatted Markdown and selectable, read-only source.
  • Search, copy, smooth scrolling, and light/dark themes.
  • Floating − / percentage / + zoom controls. Click the percentage to reset to 100%.
  • Arrow-key scrolling in both directions.
  • Tables, tasks, footnotes, alerts, Unicode, and local/HTTPS images.
  • Common embedded HTML and themed keyboard keys; unsupported content stays readable in formatted view.
  • Themed menus, tooltips, scrollbars, Help, and About.
  • Copy file/name/path, show in Explorer, and choose an external editor.

Update or remove

Close the reader, then replace the portable executable or run newer Setup. Uninstall through Windows Installed apps; documents and preferences are retained. Register again if you move a registered portable copy.

Supported scope

Editing, printing, syntax highlighting, arbitrary HTML/CSS layouts, animated images, Mermaid, and mathematical typesetting are not included. Very large documents require memory proportional to their content and structure.
