@vwbike I’ve moved your post to this new topic since talking about the same things.
The Trial cannot save file in txt?
No, this isn’t a limitation of the trial.
The problem is that your document has rich text formatting (or an embedded link) and when that’s the case then Bike can only save using .bike file format. I need to update users guide, or figure out a better UI for this.
There is a note about limited file format options at the top of the save as dialogue, but it’s easy to miss.
To save as text you can:
- Create a new document
- Save with Text format
- Copy text from original document and paste into new document (rich text formatting will be removed on paste)
or:
- Duplicate existing document
- Select all and choose Format > Clear Formatting
- Remove any rich text links (places where added a link “behind” some text). Plain text document can include detected links such as when you type
