What issue do you have?

I would like to change the note font size in a css of a plugin (i.e. the css in the plugin's jpl file).

  • I can open the jpl file (as a ZIP; after copying it);
  • I can extract the css;
  • I can modify all items in it,
  • but I cannot exchange the existing file with the modified one; neither deleting nor overwriting is possible, even though I am the owner of the file (so it shouldn't be a sudo issue).
    Any suggestions how I might achieve this?

Cheers,
kai.

JPL files are tar files. It should be possible to edit them by changing the file extension to .tar, then either:

  • extracting all files from the archive, modifying some of them, then rearchiving, or
  • using a program that can modify files within tar archives.

Thank you, that worked.

(Sort of :slight_smile: ; yes, I was able to modify the value defining the font size, but no; after restarting Joplin the note's font size in the plugin's css was unchanged; any idea what could block that statement? My userstyle.css has no font size definitions that might override the setting in the plugin ...)

I'll raise an issue in Github ...
