Bug in either README or iA Writer application #43

Open gesa opened 4 years ago

In the README, it says

To fully reload the currently visible template in Preview on macOS, press Shift Command R.

But that only works for the web preview. In order to get iA Writer to reload the template for printing (both for "PDF" previews and the actual system Print dialog) the application has to be quit and re-launched. A sort of halfway workaround is using the web preview and forcing print stylesheets, but if you need to see pagination or indeed the preview in the system print dialog, it's super annoying.

If that's just a limitation of the application, the docs need updating. If it's a bug in iA Writer, please pass this along and close the issue.

Thanks!

Worth noting that I don't believe this is a duplicate of #35—I'm editing the template from Application Support (or its symlinked whatever in the Containers directory) and it updates whenever I relaunch the application.

Thank you for reporting the issue. We’re looking into fixing this as soon as we can.

I can confirm this problem, as I wrote in the comments of PR #41 - it seems to be limited to Catalina systems, thus.

Any news on that issue?

Nope. Still doesn't work.
