Hello! I would like to use the external text editor. But when I click the button, "Stop" appears, but no editor opens. Somehow I expect this to happen.
Now I've read a lot about it here in the forum and tried to somehow save my desired editor in the settings. But no matter what I write in the two lines (path, arguments), it doesn't work. If I click on the button, nothing happens, not even "Stop" appears.
Maybe someone has an idea what I can do there, or what I should write in the two lines or how I can get Joplin to at least open the standard editor.
Many thanks for your response.
I've already tried that.
According to the terminal query , the program is in / usr / bin / Zettlr
But if I browse there via Tools / General, Zettlr is not displayed and no other program (xep or Typora) that is stored there. When I browse there with Nemo, the programs are displayed.
And when I put the path in the command line, it doesn't work either.
That is strange. Here I'm using typora, and have entered the path where I've installed it, in my case /home/john/bin/Typora/Typora and it works as expected. So don't know what's going on, hope you get it sorted.
Many thanks for your response. Yes, I have installed a flatpack. There is only this in the application management of Linux Mint.
So I would have to uninstall it (export all notes beforehand) and then download and install the official package from GutHub? Then import everything again and see if it works?
One amendment for completeness, if others have a similar issue and if you want to spawn non-flatpak apps from a flatpak-installed Joplin, such as Typora (which in turn isn't using flatpak), you can use this configuration instead:
Path:
/ bin / flatpak-spawn
Arguments:
--host / usr / bin / typora
