text preview word wrap option

Post by dhlq12 »

Text full screen and floating preview work great but a word wrap option would be useful.

The Hover Box always wraps. You want to have an option to turn this off?

Next beta has this:

Code: Select all

    * Info Panel | Preview: The "Word wrap" checkbox you see when previewing a 
      text file now also controls word-wrapping when previewing text files in 
      the Floating Preview.

I thought you would add an option in the Configuration window to control word wrap on the Preview, I didn't think it would be directly on the Preview window. Thus I thought it would make sense that this new option applied to the Hover Box as well.

But since the "Word wrap" option is directly on the Preview window, I'm not so sure it's a good idea to introduce a new option just for the Hover Box...


Wait... I mixed up "Quick file view" and "Preview".

So yeah, wouldn't it make sense that the "Word wrap" checkbox controls as well the Hover Box, thus providing a way to turn off word wrap on the Hover Box?

Since the Hover Box has no scrollbars an unwrapped view would just be frustrating.

Right.

You mean "Info Panel | Raw view" ?

Thank you for that as info panel word wrap text preview is weak and the current txt preview when using floating option with all that scrolling on a decent or average sized text file was too time consuming.
