Changelog

v1.0.94

2026-07-24 Current

Menu and title bar refinements

UX Improvement

Title bar now shows the full document path instead of just the filename, so multiple notes with the same name can be told apart at a glance.

UX Improvement

Right-click menu streamlined into three groups (Appearance / Edit & Export / About), keeping only the most common actions for a lighter, faster experience.

UX Improvement

Menu colors now use CSS variables, automatically following dark/light theme switches — no more color mismatches.

UX Improvement

About dialog is more restrained: usage count is hidden by default, double-click the version number to expand. The exe path is shown and copyable.

v1.0.90

2026-07-23

Preview page menu and outline interaction overhaul

UX Improvement

Added a three-dot menu in the top-right corner; previous right-click actions moved into the dropdown. The content area's right-click now restores the browser's native menu for less distraction while reading.

UX Improvement

Table of Contents (TOC) can be toggled with one click for a more spacious reading area. Expand/collapse is merged into a single subtle toggle icon on the panel's right edge that follows the border when dragging to resize column width.

UX Improvement

"Support Author," "Visit Website," and other entries moved from the bottom of the TOC into the top-right popup menu, making the interface more focused on content.

UX Improvement

Welcome window redesigned to be cleaner and more refreshing. Version number now indicates the current edition (Community / Pro Trial / Pro).

v1.0.88

2026-07-21

Notepad++ editor jump line number fix

Bug Fix

Fixed an issue where Ctrl+E couldn't jump to the correct line when opening documents with Notepad++: the line number parameter wasn't concatenated as -n<line>, so Notepad++ treated it as a separate argument and always stayed at the first line.

v1.0.87

2026-07-20

GBK encoding support + theme UI improvements

New Feature

Support for GBK/GB18030 encoded documents: many older documents on Windows use GBK encoding by default. Previously they'd show garbled text or errors — now they're automatically detected and previewed correctly.

UX Improvement

"Color Theme" menu redesigned: 8 themes displayed as cards with instant hover preview and a more intuitive selection state.

v1.0.85

2026-07-17
