  • Added: Support for images using relative file paths! Besides scrollbar synchronization, this was likely the most-requested feature for MarkdownPad. This feature is enabled by default, but can be disabled under Tools -> Options -> Misc -> Enable relative image paths in LivePreview.

  • Improved: Better error log generation in the event of an unexpected error.
  • Improved: Minor UI improvements to main application menu bar and toolbar.
  • Improved: Minor UI improvements to Options window. I changed the positions of the Save/Cancel buttons to match standard Windows design (Save is now on the left) - my apologies if you have to rewire your muscle memory a bit to get used to the new layout. I sure have. :)
  • Improved: To go along with relative image support, the Render Markdown in Browser (F6) option now creates the HTML document within the folder where the original Markdown document resides. If working with a new/unsaved document, the local user temporary folder will still be used.
  • Fixed: Re-added the HTML doctype when exporting or previewing the HTML document in an external browser.
  • Fixed: Rare LivePreview error that could occur when reloading the preview after saving settings.

I'd like to send special thanks to the users that helped me beta test these new changes.

If you have experience any issues with MarkdownPad, please report them using the official bug report form. Thanks!

  • Fixed: Issue with scrollbar sync for international users, specifically when their country's number systems use a comma (,) to separate decimal points rather than a period. Huge thanks to Elton Muuga for helping me figure this one out!
  • Fixed: Workaround for Chinese (Taiwan) IME character input crash.
  • Fixed: When dragging text within the editor, the MarkdownPad Drag 'n Drop overlay (for files) would appear.
  • Improved: Scrollbar sync. Thanks for all the feedback, if you're having any issues with this feature please let me know by submitting a bug report under Help -> Report a Bug.
  • Added: Additional options within the text editor's right-click context menu (Undo, Redo, Delete, Select All) to match functionality in the Edit menu.
  • Modified: If no text is selected, the Copy HTML option will copy the current line as HTML. This matches the behavior of Cut and Copy.
  • Added: Find Next (F3) and Find Previous (Shift+F3). These functions are also available under the Edit menu.
  • Modified: Added (beta) to the scrollbar sync menu option; I've received a few reports of issues with this feature. If you're having any issues with MarkdownPad, please submit a bug under Help -> Report a Bug. I love squashing bugs.
  • Improved: Scrollbar synchronization.
  • Fixed: "Display Line Numbers" wasn't checked on startup if enabled.
  • Added: Scrollbar sync!

With Scrollbar Sync, any changes you make in the Editor window will automatically cause the LivePreview window to scroll to the location you're editing. This feature is enabled by default, but you can turn it off under View --> Scrollbar Sync.

  • Added: A link to the MarkdownPad changelog under Help --> What's new in version ....
  • Fixed: A bug in .NET's clipboard handling: When copying HTML to the clipboard while simultaneously using applications like remote desktop, VNC, or virtual operating systems, an error might be displayed because those applications can hold locks on the Windows clipboard. Now if the clipboard is locked, you'll receive a notification identifying which application is holding the lock so you can close it.

  • Added: You can now select between Backtick (``) and Four Space Prefix style code blocks in Options -> Markdown -> Code Block Style.
  • Fixed: Font list in Options window is now alphabetized.
