(1) Before 1417 I was on 1415, then 1414, 1413 etc, so I am describing a regression between Beta versions, not a regression since 1234, which was last stable version.

(2) ‘ Linux: The installation no longer associates SoftMaker Office with all supported document types without asking. Instead, this ...

Two postscipts:

(1) It also places the launch scripts in duplicate, both where it suggested and where I requested;

(2) It does seem to be safe to delete the duplicate installation, I've now tried! (Was aware I could always run the script to reinstall if necessary!)

So, this relates to the script installofficenx, which is extracted from the tarball softmaker-office-nx-1417-amd64.tgz, which is downloaded from https://www.softmaker.net/down/softmaker-office-nx-1417-amd64.tgz

I'm not sure if this is off-topic, but I've just installed this BETA on a Linux ARM64 device, and...

It was easy and straightforward to install, and appears fully functioning :D :D :D

I think I've read that you don't officially support ARM64, but frankly most software out there ...

Thank you for your post. However, this feature has already been implemented in the latest Beta.

I know, post was to compliment on the new feature, not to ask for it.

Being able to auto-fit is a good idea. Even if you don't want to keep the layout, it's much easier to manipulate the text when you can see it all...

Feature is good but using scroll key is more fine-grained. Would be good if keyboard shortcuts had more granularity (went up and down in smaller increments, enabling settling at more zoom levels) Thanks.

Email refers to 'exciting new features'. Can you point us to them, please? Thanks
