While working on the new editor, I decided to add something that I’ve been missing for some time - the ability to link the text of a note to other documents in the repository. Previously, there was already the possibility to create relationships between documents, but they do not allow you to link such information to a piece of text. With the new editor there will be such a possibility.

Lately I have the feeling that simple tasks have ended. Or maybe it’s about squeezing as much value as possible out of the functionalities that already exist? Anyway, the work continues - I’ve come back to the new markdown editor, which I’ve mentioned in previous posts, and which you can see for example when editing the content of a task. This time I’m trying to make it the main markdown editor for the documents module.

Here it is - Keepmark 1.28.0. The newest release is mainly focused around 2 features - document preview on the files list, and a new mechanism for previewing PDF documents. I have already mentioned both of them in earlier posts. On the attached screenshot you can see both of these functionalities. In addition, there are smaller changes that will make working with documents easier.

I’ve decided to finally solve the PDF preview problems. Until now I was using PDF.js, unfortunately due to poor performance of the WebView component its functioning was problematic (slow performance, application hangs out). In the newest version there will be a new mechanism for previewing PDFs - based on rendering individual PDF pages to images.

In the upcoming version I have started working on the preview of documents in the list. This is also one of the requests from app users, and an improvement that should make working with documents easier. The functionality is optionally enabled on the list of documents. In the case of images, you will be able to see their entire preview, and in the case of text documents - their first few lines.
