Ever want to just open a Markdown or Fountain file in ThiefMD without importing into the library? Now you can.
Confused on what to do first when opening ThiefMD? Our new Library-less launch window is hopefully clearer.
There's a lot of changes under the hood. We now use the Wordpress REST API instead of XML-RPC. libsoup3 and Webkit2GTK 4.1 power network connections and previews. We're now build on the GNOME 44 SDK.

We added support for Hashnode, Forem, and Medium. Forem support means you can publish directly to DEV.
In addition, we added a Finnish Translation by Jiri Grönroos, and a German Translation by Fish and Helix.
Networking calls are now mostly non-blocking, which means startup times have decreased. Add as many connections as you like, and start writing as soon as the app launches.

Mostly a maintenance and bug fix release.
We fixed a race condition in PDF export and made some changes to adjust for Vala compiler changes.

We've been at work making Export Packages that result in beautiful PDFs, like Highlighted Headings and Mr. Noto Roboto1.
This release will use WeasyPrint or PagedJS if available. It will fallback to Webkit2GTK and GTK's PDF generator if needed.
1 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and we think they look great! But feel free to make your own, and if you're up for it, share them with the world!

Need a second pair of eyes to look over your text? ThiefMD now has Link Grammar support 😸
This uses the revolutionary link-grammar, the same one that powers AbiWord's grammar checking. That revolutionary grammar checker that uses natural language processing to understand your sentences to see if it's grammatically correct.
Yeah. I know what you're thinking. This means ThiefMD has NLP built in.
We also fixed some bugs and icon loading (at least on the GNOME default theme).

😅 was a bit overzealous with the last release.
Fixed image issues and added a watchdog timer for when pandoc is rendering the preview.

😓 We broke image uploads.
This fixes image uploads along with rendering previews when a relative path to a CSL file is provided.

Fountain, BibTeX, Citation Preview & Export, and so much more.
We crammed a lot into this release of ThiefMD.

WordPress got a huge update with Featured Image.
In the YAML, just add cover-image
or featured-image
to the frontmatter.

Did you know Poeditor can be used to help translate ThiefMD? People have been submitting translations:
Thanks to everyone contributing!
We've added borders to sheets in the sidebar when using the OS Theme.
We've improved how heading margins are calculated, which means... we've relaxed font selection. You're still only limited to the family, but more should appear in the selector.
We've lowered the chances of crashing in experimental mode. When selecting text with experimental mode, bold links will become normal font as invisible text can cause a crash if formatted differently from surrounding text.
We made Experimental Mode Faster! We now check your proximity to hidden URLs instead of always scanning the whole document.
Fixed and issue where PDF export tried using non-PDF themes.
More advanced Regex highlighting. Reference Links next to In-line links should look good in most cases.
We're still working on Tagging and Categories for WordPress and Ghost. Checkout the ThiefMD Project Board to see what we have planned, and let us know how we can empower you to do more!

Wordpress Export is just a Connection away. Open Preferences (Ctrl + ,

To-Do Lists? Note taking with Lists? Sharing links?
This release makes it easy (hopefully).
If you're in a list and hit enter, the list will continue. Enter again, and the list stops and you're in a new paragraph. Tabs indent the list.
We've had Ctrl+B
, Ctrl+I
, and Ctrl+D
. We'd like to introduce you to Ctrl+K
for inserting links.
We found it obnoxious to have to move the mouse and try to click out of syntax, or click inside of parentheses. So now, if you hit Ctrl+B
, you can type the bold word, hit Tab
, and you're out of the syntax. Ctrl+K
to insert a link? Type the text, tab into the URL. Type the URL, and tab outta the syntax.
It's not quite a feature that's out of this world, but it'll help you tab back into focus1.
1 You know how Program Managers/Sales Folk come up with phrases to help sell features, we'll, we're hoping this one catches on...

This release brings some libhandy goodness to ThiefMD.
LibHandy fixes some graphical issues ThiefMD had. It also allows for ThiefMD to be more responsive and handle scenarios on smaller screens.
The Preferences window is now small screen and touch screen friendly. The application can scale to a single pane/window interface. If the resolution is small, the app will try to provide touch friendly menu's and interfacing when available.
We hope to improve these features in the future, but hope you like the view into the direction we're going.

We revamped our Publishing Window and Export Options yet again. This time, to allow for publishing to online blog services. In the preferences, you'll find a Connections tab that'll show our currently supported services.

We were a bit eager with the last release. We fixed crashes in the Library Search and now sort by the number of occurrences of the search in each document. There's an essay of changes if you're willing to read them.
Search is now a modal window and you can have 'live search' which will update the search results as you type. This is an alternative for tagging and labels until we have a story around that. Don't want to search the whole library? Right-click on a Library Item and choose search.
For exporting, you can now disable the title:
in the YAML from appearing in the exported document. Since there's so many export options, it now has a scrollbar to prevent it from growing off screen.
In addition to more export options, need to export an Individual file? Just right-click on the file and choose Export. Same Novel-Level Export Powers for your individual files. United or Apart, your files look great.
The header bar can now be hidden with Ctrl+Shift+H
to eliminate more distractions. We're working on making it look and function better, so let us know any issues you run into. Speaking of looking better, custom fonts are here. We included our favorite Serif and Sans-Serif fonts, but everyone has their own tastes and environments that help the creative juices flow.
Files can now be dragged into the editor window. If ThiefMD thinks it knows what it is, it will Markdown-ify the content as best it can.
Talking about dragging things into the editor, certain languages are now syntax highlighted in code blocks. Sharing some code, drag the file in and bam. It's like magic, but not (it's programming).
And for dragging things around, ThiefMD now monitors for folder changes. Delete, move, or create files using your File Manager or another app. Outline your novel, then export the Markdown into your ThiefMD Library. ThiefMD will notice those changes and show them in the Library.
You can now Sort files by their Title or Date. This information is extracted from the YAML front matter (or any close guess we can come up with).
We also added a focus mode. Choose to focus on words, sentences, or paragraphs. ThiefMD dims everything but the content you're working on. With plenty of themes and Fonts to choose from, Type Writer Scrolling, Focus Mode, a minimal UI, we're hoping you can create your ideal writing environment.
We know when writing your novel you have many options. Thanks for choosing ThiefMD, and be sure to let us know if there's anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable.

Export Themes and Paper options are here! Customize the Preview CSS, ePub CSS, and PDF CSS.
Whether you need dark mode preview, are looking to match your site, or need that special touch for your ePub, ThiefMD has you covered.
ThiefMD can now even import your (or someone else's) existing work! Just drag and drop a file into a folder in the Library. If it's compatible, ThiefMD will convert it to Markdown. Results may vary, and they may even be very cool.

We understand some users use Accessible GTK themes. By default, ThiefMD will now use the user's GTK theme, and have "Match UI to Editor Theme" toggle the Window Decoration coloring.
