viper-edit's Issues

update app icon and name

BTW, while we are on it: Shouldn't we change the application name to "ViperEdit"?

Originally posted by @fm-sys in #7 (comment)

Also the icon should be updated, as already done in the Playstore:

Viper Edit may disabled microsd in one click

Viper Edit may disabled microsd in one click without any warning. I saw this on Huawei P Smart Z with last version EMUI 10. This is worked by some "magic" button (red rectangle on picture).

size limit

Describe the bug

Openg a file that's 161Kb appears to work fine. But using goto lime. Number caps out at 1315 lines (there are thousands more lines in the file.
No warning about truncation given.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open large file
2. Click on menu (3 vertical dots)
3. Go to like ...
4. See truncated line list

Expected behavior

Either work, or fail loudly.

Additional context

I've not tried saving but I suspect this could easily corrupt files on save.

F-Droid

Thanks for taking on this app. Are you planning to submit it for listing on F-Droid?

Read only mode allows modifications/writes

Describe the bug

Enable read only mode, still shows mini one line keyboard of characters like > which then get inserted into the file. Then when exiting are prompted to save/write

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open settings
2. Enable read only
3. Open file
4. No keyboard, but bottom line visible and usable.

Expected behavior

Either bottom line has no effect, or do not display bottom line (not sure what the mini keyboard is called)

Switch from Sentry to ACRA for crash reporting

Don't really need to be using Sentry for this so switch to ACRA as I previously did for MGit.

syntax highlight on dark theme not adapting

it seems like you made syntax highlight only for the light theme.. colors should invert for dark. I can't read the code anymore.,

Why doesn't Gboard swiping work?

I have my keyboard set as Gboard. Swiping in Viper Edit doesn't work. Why is this?

need a better icon

Current app icon is just a place holder.

Replace deprecated links

Many links inside the app aren't up to date anymore.

Question @maks: do you accept PR's and are you still actively maintaining the fork (do Playstore releases, etc)? If so, I would happily contribute to the repo...

improve syntax highlighting

Currently on Lua and Python have custom keyword highlighting.

Storage access framework corrupts files on save

I am using ViperEdit (and TurboEdit before) to edit files in Termux through Storage Access Framework.
Every time I remove lines from a file and save it saves some random lines to the end of it.

I am not sure if this is an issue with ViperEdit, SAF or Termux :( but it is super annoying to always go to Termix and delete garbage lines from the end using good old vim :)

I use Termux for git as mGit cannot handle any non-small git repos unfortunately.

edit / view intent not working

Describe the bug

Using a file browser tool can choose to Open With. I do not see a way to open with viper edit.

viper-edit/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

Line 59 in 7d1d850

<action android:name="android.intent.action.EDIT" />

indicates it expected to work.

Tried with Cx file explorer and Total Commander

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Use file browser tool
2. Open with on a txt file
3. Do not see viper edit in list

Expected behavior
Viper edit to be in list, and when used to open file

Can only open files, not a folder

Is there any way to display an entire repository in the sidebar? I can only open single files.
