Atlantis Word Processor Forum

When you're hard at work, and your document bar is full of tabs, it can be very easy to accidentally tap an x on something and with the names mostly hidden it can become unclear what got closed, which makes you lose time and maybe confuses one. If we could get a recently closed (in Atlantis) menu to ...

With files in different places it helps to be able to jump to something, since the save dialog defaults to the last location saved in, not to do with where the file is. I know about the full file path display option, which is helpful partly; still I've long wished for a fast jump in the file menu, a ...

You can uncheck the "Format without selection" option on the "Edit" tab of the "Tools | Options..." dialog.

Thanks so much!

Thanks for the tip! :D

If you turn the option on and I turn it off, it thus proves Newton's law of conservation of Atlantis Word Processor settings.

Sorry I mean font format changes not style (per se). Like if I place the cursor in the middle of a word and hit CTRL+I, it italicizes the whole word. -- that's what I'm referring to.

Obviously this is convenient in most cases but it tends to interfere with how I like to insert edits when I'm in the ...

I use the following autocorrect setting:

-- — <---- two standard keyboard dashes to em-dash
—- ― <---- emdash + another dash = horizontal bar, which in my preferred font is longer and contiguous

aka

[dash][dash] = [em-dash]
[em-dash][dash] = [horizontal bar]

(I'm going to represent the settings ...

Hmm, issue isn't happening right now either way, but as soon as it does I'll test that suggestion. Thanks for the help. I'll also think about what other applications might fit the bill you mention, and specifically when it happens I'll try and go through them to ask myself whether that could be the ...

Modal or not modal, is there any open dialog in the existent instance of Atlantis when this happens? Which dialog (screen capture if at all possible)?

Taking place consistently right now, with no dialog present.

Any file opens up a new Atlantis

I could, but I could also be more clear than I was, sorry. I think this is pretty reproducible for me actually: if the computer sleeps or hibernates with a modal dialog open (symbols & characters for instance, or find/replace) then the dialog is unresponsive to its close button when resuming ...

Thus requiring application close in most cases. No rhyme or reason that I can tell.

Hmm, so I have found that this does sometimes happen when I don't have a modal dialog open. Not sure why, everything seems normal in the existent instance as far as I can see. Anyone else this is true for? Version 4.1.3.2

When double-clicking a document file in your file explorer, please make sure that the "old" instance of Atlantis is not displaying a modal dialog.

Seems to work, thank you.


Modal dialog -- example is the menu when you "open file" with CTRL+O. It's waiting for you to pick a file, hence it is ...

Sometimes when opening associated files from explorer. Atlantis opens a new instance of the program instead of adding a tab to an existing instance. This causes it to attempt to open every document again, asking if you want to make a copy (since the other Atlantis instance is already editing ...

Eh, well, it's really not that crash that is my issue here! For whatever reason it resets every document to draft view wrap when by any means Atlantis closes improperly, as far as I can tell: if I kill the process it does it, for example. I had to turn off my laptop power recently because I spilled ...

Hello, this crash take place fairly reliably if I try to paste something (too) large and with images into a document. Not a huge problem for me, but that is how it happens. Upon reopening Atlantis everything is in draft view. Weird.

Bit annoying to have to reset the setting on each one. Any kind of crash seems to do this now.

Awesome, thanks a lot!

Ah that works fine, yes. Thank you.

The new control board find/replace is useful, but equally or more often I want to use the find/replace dialog. At the moment it seems using the menu on the little gear in the control board is the only way to switch between them. I wonder if they might be separated out with an option for a separate ...

It seems that some symbols in a font may be missing from the insert symbol dialog presently. I might be mistaken about this, but I think a font like Symbola (https://localfonts.eu/freefonts/greek-free-fonts/unicode-fonts-for-ancient-scripts/symbola/) shows it to be the case: some subsets are not ...
