Notepadqq not in synaptic

[rbode]

Dear list,
Is anybody using the text editor "notepadqq" and have any hints for on how to install, because I cannot find the text editor in synaptic for standard MX-17, and no changes to the apt sources have been made yet.
================== System Id ==========
$ uname -a
Linux t530 4.13.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.13.13-1mx17 (2017-11-18) x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ lsb_release
No LSB modules are available.
================== End System Id ==========

Are there any sources I can add to be able to install notepadqq through synaptic
OR should I install this package with snapd as suggested on the notepadqq website
OR git and make as suggested on the notepadqq git site
OR ....

Any pointers are much appreciated.

TIA,
Rene

Some months ago I was looking at it, but never got deeper into it. I'll see if we can add it to our test repo.

Edit: ported version 1.2.0 from its PPA sources without any problem. Installed and ran OK on MX 17. Uploading for the test repo in a couple of minutes.

Thanks Stevo, already.
How may/must/can I use the test repo?

Use the MX package Installer and use the Full App Catalog tab. Hit the Help button for more information.

I also have the debs here temporarily: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bkevi ... xFRwi9rpcm if you want to install early and manually.

You would need to install the notepaqq-common package first, then the notepadqq deb for your architecture.

I've been messing with a bit, too. And the Notepadqq AppImage works fine. And not installing needed.

Thanks Stevo & Mia, this works great!

Which version are you testing, the one I built or the AppImage?
