Built and notarized for running on 10.14/10.15 (Mojave/Catalina) and supporting dark mode.
Updated to most recent version of the Integrity crawling engine
Adds About / Help box

Updates to the Integrity v8 crawling engine
Adds option to download images
Adds option to save each page as a separate markdown file (as before) or consolidate them all into one long markdown file
Adds option to ignore headers / footers / navs
Adds option for save dialog to open when scan completes (this option is on by default in order to be consistent with behaviour of version 1)
Adds options to include link urls and image urls in the markdown
Fixes issue where extraneous dashes could appear within the markdown
Fixes bug causing some text to be missing from the markdown immediately following comments in the html
Other improvements / fixes relating to markdown conversion
Sorts out some problems re drag / drop and pasting to the starting points view

Improvements to workflow:

a paste now works whether you’re at the starting points screen or not
if you’ve copied from browser or an email, HTMLtoMD will attempt to take that off the clipboard as HTML, avoiding the need to view source before copying

Enhancements / fixes:

Fixes bug which was causing a crash if unusually long urls existed in links on a page
Minor interface changes
Web download version of app is not sandboxed, was sometimes causing problems when crawling a site locally (alert message said ‘you do not have permission to view this file’)
Out of beta and adds in-app purchase for website crawling functionality

Adds ‘Starting point’ screen. In addition to giving the url of a page or starting point for a crawl, you can paste html or drag & drop a file
Return to the starting point screen any time (except when a site scan is running - pause that first) with cmd-2

First beta release
