Open notes in markdown view by default #12

Closed yephny closed 2 years ago

yephny commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have a note with images and I just want to view it without doing any edits. Why am I supposed to hit the Markdown view icon and wait for images to load just to be able to view a note I've already opened? The same goes for any markdown formatting like lists.

Describe the solution you'd like Open notes in markdown view by default.

Additional context It doesn't make much sense to me to start with the editing mode only to then switch to markdown view just so that I can view a note with proper formatting.

Reason being that editing performance degraded noticably when processing Markdown on the fly especially for very long notes.

What I'm suggesting is processing markdown first when a note is opened. If the user decides to edit the note, it should switch right back to editing mode with plain-text. There's no live markdown updates involved.

This can be attained by setting this app setting to true:

com.appmindlab.nano.pref_open_in_markdown

Thanks, I hope this becomes the default at some point.
