atom / welcome Goto Github PK

Welcome claims to display a:

Welcome editor when Atom is opened for the first time

I've now used atom for a few weeks, and going through some packages today I saw:

This package added 3ms to startup time.

I've now disabled it to save myself those critical 3ms, but suggest that Welcome should auto disable after 1st launch.

Yes, this goes against

If you ever want to see this buffer again...

But the most useful thing about that message is the key combo for cmd-shift-p, which you need to remember anyhow to be able to get the message up again.
Maybe move the buffer to the package description so it doesn't need enabling to be able to find it again.

One for thought, fell free to close as wont-fix

Loving atom

The guide contains the following lines:
Next time: You can open your stylesheet from Menu > Atom.
Next time: You can open your init script from Menu > Atom.
Next time: You can open your snippets in Menu > Atom.

This points to the darwin.cson menu file here: https://github.com/atom/atom/tree/master/menus.
The menus for Windows and Linux however have this menu item placed in Menu > File. The guide should be changed according to the platform.

Initial specs:
OSX 10.10.2 (Yosemite)
Atom 1.0.2

Disclaimer:

• this seems to only be an issue on first run at Atom after initial install. Issue disappears after restarting.

After the initial install of Atom, the Welcome Guide pane appears on the right hand side of the editor. After clicking 'Choose a Theme' - a smaller window appears with a blue button that should direct a user to look at themes and theme customization. However, clicking the blue button that should take a user to the 'Manage Theme' tab is non-responsive.

After checking to see if other buttons from the Welcome Guide opened up their respective areas (they did), I tried to open 'Manage Themes' from the 'Settings View' dropdown item inside the 'Packages' tab. Again, trying to select 'Manage Themes' was unsuccessful. However, after restarting Atom I had no problem opening the 'Manage Themes' tab from the aforementioned dropdown item.

Screen shot of the dropdown I reference in the second half of my attempt to open 'Manage Themes':

When i made clean instalation of Atom and opened some items in Welcome Guide, text started to overlow. Notice the scroll bar position on attached screenshot.

It looks like the platform detection introduced by #15 regressed when switching to space-pen-views in 819c140. When launching Atom for the first time on Windows, the Welcome guide refers to cmd-shift-P instead of Ctrl+Shift+P, which is correctly referenced elsewhere in the UI.

http://github.com/atom/background-tips does a good job at dynamically determining the platform and rendering the proper shortcut. However, I'm new to Atom development and CoffeeScript, so I haven't been able to submit a fix for this myself yet. 😃

Setting the welcome.showOnStartup to true only effects normally opening the editor, not the dev mode editor.

Makes user click checkbox instead of allowing the label to be clicked. Weird part is I see the attribute in the code (

Atom 1.17.2, Welcome 0.36.3

The Welcome Guide says there are stylesheet examples to uncomment

However, the stylesheet is empty:

When first opening the atom editor, the welcome.md file is presented in a nice and simple format of markdown - this is great - but it does suffer in terms of legibility, and lack of interactivity. There are links, but I cannot use them.

The preview buffer though, handles both of those problems and on it's own would be more legible, more approachable, and can still offer the source buffer in a link (see bullet point 7. in attached screenshot). You could show them side by side, but I feel like the source of the welcome file is something not many users (coders or otherwise) really "wonder" about, or need to play with off the bat, and a link to seeing the source is a bonus.

In terms of first impressions though, I feel the attached image is preferable.

Showing both is also still a significant improvement, and may show off the feature of markdown preview better :

Wasn't sure if this was intentional or not, but it felt weird to have the guide behind the untitled buffer instead of in front of it when Atom is first launched.

On windows the combination is not cmd-shift-P but ctrl-shift-P.
In the final version when windows is supported this should be fixed.

Welcome show every time I run the Atom.

Atom version: Verison 1.2.3
OS and version: Windows 8.1 on VMWare Fusion Professional 7.3.1

Installed packages: Zero

Additional information:

• Problem can be reproduced in safe mode: Yes

• Problem can be reliably reproduced, doesn't happen randomly: For me, yes
• Problem happens with all files and projects, not only some files or projects: n/a

I just downloaded Atom, and the welcome page was beautiful. I sure wanted to read it. But I closed Atom so I could move it from "downloads" to "desktop", and now I can't make the welcome page come back!

Searching for "welcome" in the help menu search bar gives zero results.

I also could not find a shortcut to re-open the welcome page by searching online.

Please consider adding a link to the welcome page to the "file", "view", or "help" menus.
