Hi,

When scrolling up and down and typing in my notes with pdf's in them, the viewer pane keeps refreshing the previews of the pdf and its really more than annoying

I have installed the "Disable pdf" 1.0.0 pluggin which worked for me before but now all I get in the viewer pane is the text 'pdf disabled' for all notes - those with and without pdf's in them

Any ideas?

I'd really like the pdf just to be a hyperlink to the file

Cheers

Leigh

You can just turn off the viewer in your markdown options:
