    The documentation will be updated soon, but basically some defaults that would allow customizing the layout of tables (e.g. the notes list and the folder navigator) for those who really want to do so.  (This would involve using the terminal to update the settings manually; we are not currently planning to add this to the in-app preferences.)

    Just updated the docs: https://nvultra.com/help/advanced-features#advancedappearanceoptions

    Hmm..I can't seem to get nvUltra to recognize the changes I'm making, even after quitting/re-opening the app. For example, I put this into Terminal: defaults write com.multimarkdown.nvultra NVTableFontSize 4

    Also tried this to no avail: defaults write com.multimarkdown.nvultra NVTableFontName Courier

    Hmm...how do I get NVTableFontName to allow a value with more than one word? I.e., IBM Plex Mono? Terminal says "Unexpected argument Plex; leaving defaults unchanged."

    Use “IBM Plex Mono” for the argument

    Thanks....I should have known to try that.

    I wonder why none of my changes appear to register with nvUltra. :|

    Try quitting the app, use the defaults command, and relaunch.

    You can also do a `defaults read com.multimarkdown.nvultra NVTableFontName` to see what the app thinks the default should be.

    This is also only covering the folder “table” that comes up when you launch the app, in case you thought it covered the tables in your notes.

    There is a reason this is considered an esoteric preference.

    Thanks, Todd. This may explain something. Terminal says, "The domain/default pair of (com.multimarkdown.nvultra, NVTableFontName) does not exist." I'm on (30), so I'm not sure what the issue could be.

    Fletcher said this would affect the notes list and the folder navigator, which is exactly where I expect to see the changes...not in a markdown table in my notes.

    Defaults read will probably only work when you change the setting.  Defaults that are set to the, er, default value are effectively removed from the list.  (This is macOS behavior, not nvUltra behavior)

    If I enter "defaults write com.multimarkdown.nvultra NVTableFontName "IBM Plex Mono"" into the terminal and hit return, and then afterwards enter "defaults read com.multimarkdown.nvultra NVTableFontName", I still get the error that says "The domain/default pair of (com.multimarkdown.nvultra, NVTableFontName) does not exist."

    fletcher% defaults read com.multimarkdown.nvultra NVTableFontName

    The domain/default pair of (com.multimarkdown.nvultra, NVTableFontName) does not exist

     

    fletcher% defaults write com.multimarkdown.nvultra NVTableFontName "Palatino"

     

    fletcher% defaults read com.multimarkdown.nvultra NVTableFontName

    Palatino

     

     

    Other than that, I'm not sure what to tell you other than to try rebooting your machine.

    I tried rebooting just now. I'm able to read the NVTableFontName after making the change, but if I quit/re-open nvUltra, and I try to read the NVTableFontName, terminal gives me the same error. It's like launching the app wipes out the change. (I still don't see that the app recognizes any of these changes.)
