Formiko stopped working

#1

I used sometimes formiko to edit markdown documents, but it does not work any more. Un- and reinstalltion of formiko did not help.

When I try to open a file.md with right-klick Open With Formiko nothing happens and watching with journalctl -f in a terminal reveals:

This app comes from Flathub.

I checked the change history at

and it was updated to a newer runtime version 2 weeks ago. I think the update cannot have been tested because it fails for me in the same way. I’ll report an issue upstream.

You might be able to downgrade to an older version by following the instructions at:

https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/tips-and-tricks.html#downgrading

Or if you are prepared to switch to a different markdown editor, I like Apostrophe:

An update that fixes the issue should be available within a few hours.

@wjt Thanks a lot. Formiko works again. Sorry for the late reply.
