Markdown Plugin Preview not working after starting geany with a file that was already opened the other day
After starting geany 1.37.1 Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) with a markdown-file that was opened already yesterday, the preview is not working (see below) until the moment I edit the file again. Phew, quite difficult to explain exactly, sorry.
The shown 'error' in the preview is: The current document does not have a Markdown filetype
Not a big issue for me but I still wanted to post it
Might be a bug where the preview updates before the document is loaded and doesn't update after it loaded. If you can reproduce, can you check what the filetype shown in the statusbar says before you start editing?
So here is a screenshot from the statusbar after loading. Filetype is ok...
update: I just began typing again and it began working. I resized my sidebar back and forth, then I resized the whole window, then I started typing. I think I reflexively saved (but I do that often enough that I have no memory of it.)
Fingers crossed for the pull request.
Is there a workaround in the meantime?
I am also experiencing this 1.37.1 - Using GTK+ v2.24.32 and GLib v2.66.2 runtime libraries on Windows 10 64bit
a file foo.markdown is indeed detected as filetype markdown, but the markdown preview tab shows that same
The current document does not have a Markdown filetype.
JFTR, the PR won't help you much: the current version 1.38 and future versions of Geany-Plugins don't include the Markdown plugin any longer. This is because there are no WebkitGTK packages available in Mingw64 and so we cannot build and distribute the plugin :(.
