Command line option to export a document as PDF doesn't work anymore. about cherrytree HOT 12 OPEN

Eh but if you are French you will find utf-8 chars everywhere, you should limit the search in links targets but there is currently no way to search only in links

If you are in a rush to generate a pdf you can build yourself the latest from GitHub as described in the readme. I will release anyway the new version this evening or tomorrow

Are you using homebrew or mac ports ? have you tried https://gitlab.com/dehesselle/cherrytree_macos/-/releases ?

I cannot succeeded to attach the input CherryTree document bug.ctd
That's why I sent you a photo of its content, the attached file: bug.ctd.png

In order to send you the input cherrytree document (reduced to one page only), I added the .txt extension just after file name: bug.ctd, then it gives: bug.ctd.txt.
Don't forget to remove the .txt extension to recover initial document: bug.ctd
Open it with CherryTree and generate the PDF of the whole tree.
-- whatever option you use to generate the PDF you will be able to reproduce the bug --
Try to open the generated .pdf. It's impossible. It is corrupted.

I cannot reproduce it in linux, I'll try later today on the only Mac OS I have working, Monterey.
Could you in the meantime try the installer version https://gitlab.com/dehesselle/cherrytree_macos/-/releases so we understand if it's a library issue or something that can be fixed in cherrytree

Giuseppe,
the nobility of a computer application is knowing how to die.
I think you should warmly recommend your users to use Obsidian.
I believe you should provide all the necessary tools to allow users to painlessly migrate to this tool.
I was developed in a past life, and I will be happy to help you.
thank you and best regards.

Thanks for the very useful tip Christian, I still find CherryTree useful for my personal use and a couple of users still like it so I will keep developing it 😄

In upcoming v1.0.3 the problem of corrupted pdf won't happen anymore but the non ASCII links to files/folders won't work in the pdf. Those are supported only in Linux for now (the same happens on windows).

from cherrytree.

Does exist a regular expression to search for non ascii characters on entire CherryTree active document, please?

from cherrytree.

You are not losing the text of the link, it's just not clickable in the resulting pdf / clicking it won't open the file manager on that location.
In future I'll try to debug the library (Cairo) responsible for this issue.

And searching all the non-ascii characters before the pdf generation by typing:
“[\x80-\xFF]”
into the tool of CherryTree for searching in multiple nodes
