Outline does not update
bertob opened this issue · comments
When I start a new doucment and add some headers, they don't show up in the "outline" section (Which I assume they should?):
Fixing this. :)
Fixed.
Are you sure this is is fixed? I just built master and it's still happening:
It takes a moment after you save the file somewhere.
Freshly new files made by the New Document button aren't files yet until you save them somewhere. 🤔
That's a bit counterintuitive, I assumed that the outline updates live as I add/remove titles.
It does, but only with files that exist in the file system... I couldn't find a way to make it work with cache files :(
Maybe temporarily save them in the flatpak directory? Or does that not work either?
That was the first thing I tried before just settling on new files are ephemeral on creation but after closing Quilter/saving they become real files.
Maybe I should hide outline until the file is saved, then show it?
Also, lemme reopen this lol

That sounds like it'd be suprising, but maybe worth a try if there's no other option

I've seen this happen on more complex apps where certain parts only show if needed.
Maybe it's even better than having dead UI lying around until some mysterious condition (for the user, at least) is met for it to start being alive.
I just thought of a better way to make this work:
If the file is selected in the sidebar, show Outline for that file, otherwise, hide.
This might work for the cache files as well.
Nevermind, I found out why it wasn't working; I wasn't calling the methods for the outline in the proper places on cache files' case. This is now actually fixed.
