  • Charles Butcher commented,

    That seems a worthy aim. I often have Markdown files open in DEVONthink and Composer at the same time, and although I don't usually edit in both apps, I guess that could be another source of sync n...

  • Charles Butcher commented,

    Thanks! Will do. For the record, here's a video. I think you'd have noticed it in all the hours you must spend using Composer, so  perhaps it affects only some installations. On my Mac it's intermi...

  • Charles Butcher commented,

    The files in question are indexed by Dropbox and backed up by Arq (but the nags are more frequent that Arq's hourly schedule). I have iCloud Sync turned on too, but AFAIK the docs in question have ...

  • Charles Butcher commented,

    I'll try, but it seems to be intermittent. I've just re-opened the Composer document I was working on before, and its auto-save behaviour is now different – that's to say, it's now consistent with ...

    Hyphen between digits renders as dash

    Completed

    Apologies in advance if this is (a) documented somewhere in MMD Composer, (b) a macOS setting or quirk that I've missed, or (c) part of the Markdown specification. In Composer (5.0.0 – 2022.09.21.1...

  • Charles Butcher commented,

    Thanks for all your excellent support. Pleasant surprise number one after the reinstall is that when I wake the machine I can now sign in with Touch ID (which previously worked for other things, bu...

  • Charles Butcher commented,

    Well, your patience and careful troubleshooting are much appreciated. But a clean install has fixed it on the M1 Mac. As I reinstall everything I’ll keep an eye on Composer, and in the unlikely eve...
