Possible Preference Settings Bug

[giuspen]

Hi @timcrouse is this happening with v1.0.4? What do you mean with multiple notes, is it multiple cherrytree windows / more than one document?

[timcrouse]

Yes it is happening in 1.0.4.

By multiple notes I meant multiple text documents.

To rephrase the odditiy:

Say you want to change the editor window border line color. You get access to this by changing the preference LINE NUMBER COLOR.

After you change the color in the preference dialog you have to select each note in the tree. Open the preference dialog and toggle the current line color. If you do not do this the editor border edge line color stays as the original defined color.

Hope that helps
Best Regards

On another note ( I will open a separate request) would you consider updating the the FIND / REPLACE dialog to toggle an advanced mode? The intent is to simplify the options. As it it currently is displayed many advanced options are displayed.

A simpler format would be:

1. Inherently only find and replace items in an active selection, meaning if an area is selected that is what is targeted and only that area. >> in BASIC mode display two radio buttons "DOCUMENT, SELECTED", this would allow the user to override the selection on-the-fly as not to have to restart the process (close the dialog and unselect the text).

2. Add the ability to use the mouse on the editor while the find / replace dialog is open so the user can copy text to be used in the find / replace dialog. As it is if you have an area selected to perform a find and replace on all that text is automatically placed in the top search entry text box.

Hi @timcrouse I think I understand your flow but it's simply not happening to me.
v1.0.4, Windows 11.
I am in a rich text node, I have the line numbers visible, I open the preferences dialog tab theme and edit user-1, change "Line numbers background". That is applied immediately to all the rich text nodes for me with no other action needed. Maybe you can send me your config.cfg so I can try to reproduce using your configuration

Is the text CAVAS border color (the thin line) changing? The text changes color, it's the editor thin border line thaqt is not changing color until I go thru the other steps.

The border line colour is changing too, yes.
Maybe a couple of screenshots here would clarify. I'm also not sure with what you mean by toggling the current line colour, is it just selecting again the same value?
