Hi !

It's quite interesting how it supposed to work :) I mean, the litemdview is one of those tools which meant to be run using command line.

I am fine if you reject this request. Your reply makes sense.

It's me that asked for that. Why not ? it's a gui app, so for simple task like a markdwon preview of file that's fine for me. the .desktop file helps to get it available in DE.

Hello !

I didn't say no. Just trying to figure out how to install the .desktop file. Will add it for a next version.

Thank you.

I like the viewer! Was looking for something simple and this was perfect. But for some reason, not sure if by design, I was only able to have one instance running at a time. Not sure if this is the appropriate way but I edited the desktop file from...

Exec=litemdview %u

to...

Exec=nohup dbus-run-session litemdview %u &

and that seems to have solved it. Thanks for the program!
