// Please enter a detailed description of the issue // Description of the issue:

Hi! I am using BBEdit (version 14.6.7 (14D86, Apple Silicon, sandboxed)) and Marked 2 (Version 2.6.27 (1049)) on a Mac Mini M1 running mac)S 14.0.

I use BBEdit to create and edit Markdown files and Marked2 to preview those files. I have the current version of Marked2 set as a file preview option in BBEdit. However since the latest updates (both Marked2 and BBEdit have had recent updates) the Preview in Marked2 no longer works. Preview using BBEdit's inbuilt previewer does work.

When the option in BBEdit to preview using Marked2 is selected, Marked2 starts but does not seem to have the file details and so there is nothing to preview.

Any thoughts please?

Regards,
Peter

   This would be an issue with the Previewer in BBEdit, I would think. If
   you drag the icon next to the title of the document in BBEdit to the
   Marked icon in the Dock, does it open properly?

   Brett,

   Thanks for your really quick reply. The suggestion you make for activating a preview does work. However, I think it ought to work from the BBEdit menu option so I've made a copy of my message to you and your reply and sent it off to BBEdit support for them to resolve the issue.

   Thanks again for your really quick reply.

   Regards,
   Peter

   Oh, by the way, using the Preview option in BBEdit renders to HTML,
   which disables most of Marked's special features. I believe there are
   actions you can add to BBEdit to open the actual current Markdown file
   in Marked (equivalent to dragging the proxy icon to Marked). But I'm not
   a regular user and don't have more info on that.
