CRITICAL PRINT PREVIEW FIX:

- Menu sends 'print-preview' to renderer ✅
- ipcMain.on('print-preview') was re-sending to renderer ❌ (REMOVED)
- Renderer hideUI, waits 300ms, sends 'do-print' to main ✅
- Main process prints immediately (no extra delay needed)
- Print now correctly captures hidden UI and shows preview content
FILE LOADING ON DOUBLE-CLICK FIX:
- FOUND: theme-changed handler waiting 1500ms was too long
- Changed from setTimeout 1500ms to requestAnimationFrame (respects browser rendering)
- renderer-ready signal sent after next animation frame
- openFileFromPath now sends file-opened immediately when rendererReady
- Files now load and render quickly on first double-click
- Proper async timing: DOMContentLoaded → theme request → theme applied → ready

- When Pandoc PDF engines (XeLaTeX, PDFLaTeX, LuaLaTeX) unavailable
- System now falls back to Electron's built-in PDF export
- Users get working PDF export even without LaTeX installed
- No error dialog, seamless fallback to working solution
Code Analysis Summary:

Print Preview - FIXED:
- Eliminated race condition: renderer now waits for DOM to render before telling main to print
- Uses double requestAnimationFrame to ensure browser has repainted
- Main process only waits 50ms (DOM already rendered by renderer)
- Renderer hides UI elements, applies print-mode class, THEN signals main to print
- This ensures print dialog captures the properly rendered preview, not toolbar
File Loading - FIXED:
- Fixed critical bug in openFile(): updatePreview was called BEFORE editor value was set
- When reusing current tab, preview now updates AFTER editor content is loaded
- Ensures preview always has content to render
- Both tab reuse and new tab creation now properly update preview
Technical Details:
Print flow:
1. User clicks Print Preview
2. Menu sends 'print-preview' to renderer
3. Renderer: hide UI, set print-mode class
4. Renderer: requestAnimationFrame x2 (waits for repaints)
5. Renderer: sends 'do-print' to main (DOM fully rendered)
6. Main: small 50ms delay, then prints
7. Result: prints preview content, not toolbar!
File loading flow:
1. User double-clicks .md file (or file association)
2. Main process stores file path
3. Renderer signals ready after theme loads
4. Main sends file-opened message
5. Renderer openFile() called
6. Editor value set
7. THEN updatePreview() called (content exists)
8. Preview renders correctly!

Print Preview Fix:
- Changed to hide only editor-pane instead of entire editor-container
- Preview was inside editor-container, so hiding it hid the preview too!
- Now correctly shows preview-pane-{tabId} with print-mode class
- Hide all dialogs including find-dialog during print
- Preview now displays correctly for printing
File Loading Fix - Completely Rewritten:
- Root cause: renderer-ready was sent BEFORE theme was applied
- Solution: Moved renderer-ready signal INTO theme-changed handler
- Now waits 1500ms AFTER theme is applied before signaling ready
- Main process delay increased to 500ms for extra safety
- Ensures complete UI render cycle: DOMContentLoaded -> theme request -> theme applied -> wait -> renderer-ready -> file opens
- Files now load and render properly on first double-click
Technical Flow:
1. DOMContentLoaded fires, TabManager initializes
2. get-theme request sent to main
3. theme-changed received, theme applied to body
4. After 1500ms delay, renderer-ready sent
5. Main process waits 500ms more, then sends file-opened
6. Total delay: ~2 seconds ensures rock-solid first-load rendering

This fix addresses the critical issue where double-clicking .md files would not open them in the installed PanConverter application on Windows.
## Root Cause
When a user double-clicks a file and the app is already running, Windows tries to launch a SECOND INSTANCE with the file path. Without single-instance lock handling, that second instance would exit and the first instance would never receive the file path.
## Changes
- Added single-instance lock handling in main.js (lines 52-85)
- Implemented second-instance event handler to capture file paths
- Focus existing window when second instance is attempted
- Pass file path to existing instance using openFileFromPath()
- Properly handle rendererReady state for file opening
## Testing
- Works in development mode (npm start)
- Should now work correctly in installed Windows app with double-click
- Maintains single instance behavior across all file opening methods

CRITICAL BUG FIX: Files opened via double-click were not rendering in the application.
Root Cause:
- The openFileFromPath() function was sending IPC 'file-opened' message WITHOUT checking if rendererReady was true
- When files were double-clicked before renderer initialization, the IPC message was sent but lost
- The comment "Always try to send, the renderer will handle it when ready" was incorrect
The Fix (src/main.js:1586):
- Added rendererReady check to the conditional: if (mainWindow && mainWindow.webContents && rendererReady)
- Now properly stores file in app.pendingFile when renderer is not ready
- File is opened correctly when renderer-ready signal arrives
Flow:
1. File double-clicked → openFileFromPath() called
2. If renderer NOT ready → store in app.pendingFile
3. When renderer sends 'renderer-ready' → openFileFromPath(app.pendingFile) is called
4. This time renderer IS ready → file opens successfully
Version: 1.7.4
- Updated package.json version to 1.7.4
