Feature Request 1: Restore last opened file on launch
Problem: Every time I launch Textream from the Dock (not by double-clicking a .textream file), it opens a blank "Untitled" editor. My previously saved scripts are never auto-loaded, so I have to press ⌘O and navigate to the file every single time. This is very disruptive for a teleprompter workflow, where you often quit and relaunch the app between takes.
Suggested implementation:
Persist currentFileURL to UserDefaults in saveToURL / openFileAtURL (e.g. key lastOpenedFileURL), and restore it on app launch — either by auto-opening it or by pre-filling the editor.
Alternative: on launch, check NSDocumentController.shared.recentDocumentURLs and load the most recent .textream file.
A setting toggle like "Restore last script on launch" (on by default) would be a nice touch.
Feature Request 2: Chinese (Simplified) support — input, word tracking, and UI localization
Problem: As a Chinese user, I currently face three blockers:
Cannot type Chinese in the editor. I can only paste Chinese text in; direct Chinese IME input doesn't work properly (related to Cannot input Chinese #34).
UI is English-only. There is no Simplified Chinese localization.
These three issues together show that the Chinese-speaking user base is real but underserved. A Simplified Chinese localization, plus fixing CJK word tracking and IME input, would make Textream the go-to teleprompter for Chinese users.
For context, I'd love to recommend this app to friends, but the current state makes it hard.
Thanks for the great app — it's genuinely the nicest free teleprompter on macOS!
