[I] User defined Editor width

[BsNoSi]

Expected behaviour

Userdefined setting of 64 chars should keep this with by count of chars.

Actual behaviour

Setting userdefined width takes the current font width to set margins. Zooming actions (larger, smaler size) are limited to this widh in pixels instead "width in char".

Steps to reproduce

Menu → Window → Editor width → Custom

set amount of characters → ok

Zoom in/out. Instead of fixed char per line the line with is fixed to size of 64 chars at time of definition in pixels.

That would only work (approximately) when you use a mono-typed font.
If you don't, then every character has a different width.
That "custom size" is only a calculation on the width of one average character.

[BsNoSi]

Sure, it is the average width of a character (m or what ever).

This average width changes with zoom. But the editor width is defined with the average of current zoom and then fixed. Therefore, zooming does not match the average width of the given char count anymore.

To give an extreme example:
The average of a character with pixel height of 80 is another than with a pixel height of 20 pixels.

Keeping the line length to the average char count width regardless to the font size would help to estimate the reading/printing length of an article.

Meanwhile, I can help myself, open “custom” after zooming and press OK which “fixes” it.

To be honest, it is probably only a question of expectation. I expected “keep average char count per line”, which is not fulfilled.
If you define it as “average width of current font size”, then that is, what it is.

When I zoom in distraction free mode, the margin changes for me.
Where did you test the zooming? Did you mention all steps in Steps to reproduce?

[BsNoSi]

Maybe this video helps:

chars-per-line.mp4

[pbek]

Can you please run QOwnNotes in a new session (see cli-parameters) and then describe step by step what you did to get to that screen?

[BsNoSi]

Sure.

1. Start
2. Settings → distraction free mode → off
3. set a custom margin "x chars"
4. zoom in/out with mouse wheel → count of chars depends on current width of char (whatever this is), when width is set, not on count of chars.

The application starts in German, I have added comments to clarify what is happening.

qonwnotes-test1.mp4

Summary of the video: Zooming with the mouse wheel breaks down the set →number of characters← of the editor width.

F11 → same behavior: The editor is set with the current character width, but the margins are not adjusted to the set number of characters when the font size is changed by increasing/decreasing zoom.

[pbek]

I see, so you forgot to mention that you also need to toggle a setting, now we are getting somewhere. 😉

[BsNoSi]

😞 I mentioned it myself, producing the second video. I apologize.
In distraction free mode it behaves identical (in my case).

24.11.1

• The margins are now adapted correctly, when zooming in the note text edit, when
  the setting that the editor width should only be applied in distraction free mode
  is disabled (for #3153)

[pbek]

There now is a new release, could you please test it and report if it works for you?

[BsNoSi]

👍👍👍
New 24.11.1 fulfills perfectly the very useful fixation of lines to an average line length, regardless to zoom in or out.
!TNX!.

[pbek]

Great, thank you for testing!

[BsNoSi]

I think I had less effort with testing.😉 🙏

[pbek]

I think it took longer to find out what you were exactly talking about than to fix it. 😆

It is always difficult to recognize what (supposedly obvious) side information the other side needs in order to view something from the same perspective. Especially with software, that has only been in use for a few days, and therefore the deeper understanding for it is still missing.
