Add “Image icon" and “Background Theme" in this app. #79

Closed PeerzadaZeeshan closed 5 years ago

PeerzadaZeeshan commented 5 years ago

Proposal:

My suggestion is about to add “Image icon" and “Background change" feature to this app. Which will result in the better note making and note editing.

Mockups/Examples:

Very nice, but this is a text editor, not a word processor or web page editor. It is not possible to include images in a text file unless it is an HTML or Markdown file, in which case the images are references to external files, are not included in the text file and would need to be displayed in another app.

PeerzadaZeeshan commented 5 years ago

@billthefarmer yes i know this is a text editor, but if a user need to add image to that text file what he will do for that. Same for the background change feature...

billthefarmer commented 5 years ago

OK, please explain how to include an image in a text file that can be edited with a text editor like notepad on a PC, or vim on Linux.

PeerzadaZeeshan commented 5 years ago

Let me tell you have you used any notes app... Just like the notes app in which user can edit his note and add image into it. Same is the case with here...... User can edit text file and add image in it if needed....

billthefarmer commented 5 years ago

You clearly didn't note: "a text file that can be edited with a text editor like notepad on a PC, or vim on Linux".

PeerzadaZeeshan commented 5 years ago

So acc.to you we cannot add image to txt file..... Right??

Ok i got it..... But what about the Background Theme changer.....?

billthefarmer commented 5 years ago

The app already has three themes and does syntax highlighting of source code files, which would be hard to read against a background image. If you want an app that can do all these things except the source code highlighting, consider my Diary app.

Ok thank you....

Oh I see... @PeerzadaZeeshan thought it's a "notes taker" (a kind of pesonal wiki app or thing like Evernote and alike) and he's not used with simple "text editor". That's maybe 'cause some people use to call the previous "notes editor" (too much things are called editors and many people think they can "edit" anything without the right tool ; thanks μ$ 0ffice for spreading confusions)
