@github-actions github-actions released this 10 Mar 22:35

New features:

  • On Linux, there's a new and easy way to launch Porcupine without using the terminal. In settings, you can check "Show Porcupine in the desktop menu system", which makes Porcupine appear in the operating system's menu like most other applications. There are more instructions in the README.
  • There is a new menu that appears when right-clicking the main editing area. It doesn't contain much yet, but more things will probably be added into it in subsequent releases. Thank you ArchKats for designing and implementing the new right-click menu.
  • When right-clicking a folder in the directory tree, there is a new option "Open in terminal". It is equivalent to opening a terminal or command prompt as usual and then going to the right-clicked folder with cd some/path/to/the/folder. Thank you Tuomas for implementing this.
  • Porcupine now recognizes BOMs in text files. Previously UTF-8 files with a BOM would get a weirdly behaving blank character in the beginning. Thank you Tuomas.

Bug fixes (both by Tuomas):

  • Dragging and dropping files to Porcupine now works even when the file names contain non-ASCII characters.
  • File types selected with the Filetypes menu in the menubar are now remembered when Porcupine is restarted.
