Unable to open .md files directly in Dolphin using ThiefMD

[asherljh]

Hello! This is my first time posting on GitHub so my apologies if this is not appropriate or I miss out information.

ThiefMD fails to open when I double-click on files in my file explorer.

• Using: Flatpak and RPM (tried both)
• Desktop Environment: KDE 5.24.1
• OS: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed 20220217
• I think I am using Wayland...

Steps:

1. Set the default program for .md files to ThiefMD in Dolphin
2. Double-click on an .md file to open it in ThiefMD for editing
3. The icon for ThiefMD appears briefly in my Task Manager then disappears

If I launch ThiefMD on its own it works and I'm able to open .md files by adding them; just that it's a few more steps than simply clicking on the .md file.

In any case thanks for creating this! Feels like the best md editor available especially with the nice themes that are up on the website.

Thank you for the kind words and suggestion.

At the moment, ThiefMD is a library based editor. We are looking into supporting multiple windows and opening individual files, but do not support it at this time. Hopefully we'll add support sometime soon.

If you need single-file support sooner, Apostrophe does have single file support.

Just as an update, we have an initial version in the works.

This will remove the requirement of loading documents in the library.

I'm going to do some refactoring so auto-save can be toggled. I'll also need to tweak the toolbar.
