Export as PDF remember last filename

[noisygecko]

It would be great if the "Export Slides as PDF..." option would remember the last filename used so I don't have to select it and then click save. It seems to remember the directory, but not the filename.

I would actually love it if there was a way to have it automatically export when I save, or have a single click button to do that.

Hi,
I agree, this feature is needed.

@yhatt would it be hard to do?

[DSLituiev]

IMO, it should suggest the name of the PDF as the basename of Markdown file, i.e. basename.md -> basename.pdf instead of Untitled.pdf

Hi, I implemented the feature and send the pull request to the core developer.

[Naereen]

Based on the observation that some PR have been opened since last August, I am not so optimistic about that. But thanks for trying!

@yhatt Do you still have time to maintain the project?

[valentinsteinwandter]

Let's hope that @yhatt has still time. I really like this project. Otherwise we have to fork it.

[Naereen]

Sure, we could. I like it too, but don't really have the time, and I am certainly not an Electron expert.

[valentinsteinwandter]

Me neither, but the author seem to be really active on his other projects so probably there is some chance he will continue here as well.

NOTICE!

Marp 0.0.x has already dropped maintenance. Currently I'm rewriting Marp with using much better technologies:

@will-hart thanks for the link!

Wouldn't it make sense to don't totally stop the development of 0.0.x as long as no new version is foreseeable? I mean it doesn't look like we will get Marp 1.x anytime soon. What do you think?

@yhatt for 6172e4a and latest release v0.0.11 : is the update to next release (on the github.io website) automatic?

[Naereen]

I just tested the latest release, it does suggest to use the .md filename as the .pdf default filename, but does not remember the last choice.
