Tooltips plugin:
1. pls copy/paste your MD file with URLs to pictures here.
2. pls see Console panel - maybe some error happened in plugin?
Here are the two image URLs I tested:
Code: Select all
I pasted the images you shared into CudaText and opened the Console panel. When I hover over the image link, it throws an error.
Screen recording:

This reminds me of a long-standing connectivity issue on my side: in CudaText, whether I try to download plugins from the menu or check for updates, an error dialog pops up and I can’t proceed. I’m wondering if anything network-related in CudaText is broken for me.

That said, even though CudaText has network issues, I can open GitHub, the CudaText website, and the forum just fine, and the images you provided load in my browser.
I’m on Windows 10, CudaText version 1.228.0.3.

Huge thanks for taking on this upgrade and for all the work—really appreciate it.

I originally downloaded the Markdown_Image plugin from https://github.com/jackusay/cuda_markdown_image, but it doesn’t look like updates are posted there. Could you point me to where I can get the updated plugin? As I mentioned earlier, I can’t install plugins via CudaText’s menu, so is there a place to download a ready-to-use ZIP package?
[update]Never mind, I found it here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/cudatext/

I write almost everything in CudaText using Markdown. This Markdown_Image update is huge for me. It instantly leveled up my CudaText experience. Massive thanks for all your hard work; I feel lucky to use a tool built by someone who really sweats the details. Please accept my heartfelt thanks and props from a grateful user!

Your 2 sample URLs. Tested - for me, 1st image needs 3-6 secs pause (I must not move mouse during this pause) and it showns.
2nd one shows much faster.
all works for me.
In config file settings/cuda_html_tooltips.ini I have:
url_timeout=14
I’m wondering if anything network-related in CudaText is broken for me.
Seems yes, but I don't know why.
Please accept my heartfelt thanks and props from a grateful user!
Thanks! Let's advertise the app on forums (even Chinese forums are ok).

BTW, you can try to install Python 3.13 package (get it from cudatext.SF.net site), and maybe it has better www certificates or www-related fixes?

I’m always happy to recommend CudaText. Anytime someone asks about text editors, if it fits their needs, my instant answer is CudaText, no hesitation.
Just this morning, before I even made this feature request, I saw a super detailed and passionate post about CudaText on one of the software forums I frequent(
https://meta.appinn.net/t/topic/75222/1). Reading it made me really happy, because it showed someone else loves CudaText just as much as I do—maybe even more. I immediately replied, shared how I use it, and why I love it(
https://meta.appinn.net/t/topic/75222/2?u=kat). I might write my own post someday to recommend CudaText from my perspective.

I downloaded 'windowspython.Windows_Python313_64bit.zip', unzipped it, copied the files into CudaText’s root folder… and then CudaText wouldn’t start. Luckily, I had backed it up beforehand, so I was able to restore it. I don’t have a technical background, so I was just fumbling through the steps without really knowing the proper way to do it. Seems like fixing this network issue might be trickier than I thought.

To install 'windowspython.Windows_Python313_64bit.zip' you need to open this zip file (like any other addons in zip-file) in CudaText. Then restart app. In Console it must show new Py version. Today I use even Py 3.14 which I got by hands from Python.org Windows-download section.

Guess what. I followed your guide, and after installing “windowspython.Windows_Python313_64bit.zip,” all the network issues disappeared. Images show up, plugins install fine, and update checks are working. Everything’s finally smooth. I’m just so happy and excited!

The image you shared takes a bit too long to load, and CudaText freezes while it’s loading. I’ve got url_timeout set to 8 seconds, so the first attempt probably timed out, but it went through on the second try.

hm, I cannot reproduce the problem on _clean_ Cuda 1.228.0 (in a new folder, with Py 3.8) on Win10 x64.
maybe it is outdated www certificate?
seems it's file python.cat in Cuda folder.
but then I must see the problem, but all is ok for me.
or bug in std-library in python38.zip?
