Window Resizing now preserves Editor/Preview Size Ratio
Changed the behavior of the editor on window resizing, so that the editor and preview width stay at the same ratio set via splitter bar resizing. Previously preview width was fixed and editor width adjusted on window resizing. The new behavior is more consistent and requires less tweaking of the splitter placement. -
Smoother Preview to Editor Syncing
Reworked the way the preview syncs back into the preview editor, and preventing the editor for recursively readjusting the preview on scroll. Previously caused occasional jumpiness in the preview when scrolling with bi-directional preview sync enabled. This also improves scroll performance on larger documents as forces fewer refreshes. -
BlazePost API for Blog Publishing
Added our own Westwind BlazePost API for publishing to Weblogs for very quick and efficient blog post publishing, updating and downloading of posts. -
Fix: Link Checker Support for Anchor Links
Fix the Link Checker sidebar widget so it properly parses inline links generated by auto-header generation. Previously all anchors flagged as invalid links.
Note: Raw Html links using embedded Html snippets are not checked, so any hard referenced links to thoseidornamevalues still break and flag in the Link Checker. -
Fix: Rework Singleton Implementation to reduce Permissions
We reworked the singleton NamedPipes implementation that would prevent some very low privilege machines to start Markdown Monster correctly if multiple instances are running. Changed to local machine only configuration and on failure allow MM to launch in single document mode rather than forwarding to an existing instance. -
Fix: Weblog Publishing Move Post to Date Folder Bug
Fixed bug where moving a post out of the New Posts folder to the dated release folder would not re-open the post properly in the editor in the new location. -
Fix: Weblog Publishing: Generate AI Abstract from Document
Tweaked the abstract generation to create shorter abstracts at ~500 characters. Previously the size was open ended and some AI providers would generated massive paragraphs. Put in explicit limit. Note: Some providers choose to ignore the size direction, but most main stream models do follow. -
Fix: Link Checker Improvements for Inline Anchor Links
The link checker now better identifies bad inline document anchor links.
