Can't save new file

[HomenSimpsor]

Opening an already existing file allows me to File > Save just fine, but try to File > Save as a new file and it throws an error.

Whatever filename is provided, the error message makes it look like it's trying to save to a glob: filename.*.

Unsure how to check the version number, but I believe this is 0.1.8 I'm using. Windows 8.

Hmm. I tried to reproduce this on my Mac but don't run into this error.

1. Open MarkRight
2. Type random stuff in
3. Save
4. File dialog pops up, after picking a file, saving works fine
5. Close MarkRight (or keep it open)
6. Open same file again
7. Change text so that the * indicator appears at the top of the page
8. Hit 'save as'
9. File saves accordingly (and updates path in title)

@dvcrn That is because this error only appears in Windows. I can confirm that this error happens on Win7 32Bit aswell as Win10 64 Bit

I suppose an easy fix would be to simply support only .md files as it always seems to try to add .* as file ending, which is not allowed in Windows.

I too face this issue in Windows.
Possible cause could be that Save as type is All Files (*.*), which may add .* at the end of file name.

I too face this issue.
On Win10_x64

can someone try one of these versions?

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27953127/tmp/MarkRight_Windows64.exe

It would help a lot since I don't have a windows machine to confirm

Works with the 32Bit Version

[urmilparikh]

Works with 64-bit version as well.

However, it still shows 'Electron' in Open-with menu and still does not open the file when double-clicked a file in Windows Explorer. May be, command-line arguments are ignore at some stage.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Then I can finally get rid of this annoying bug 😊

Btw. You might consider using one of the VMs provided at https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/windows/ to test things on Windows
