What's fixed

Compact mode window no longer expands during drag

When dragging the compact icon, Windows DWM (Aero Snap and edge behavior) could resize the transparent frameless window mid-drag. The 16ms polling loop only called setPosition(x, y) and never re-asserted the window size, so any OS-driven resize persisted for the entire drag.

Fix: the polling loop now calls setBounds({x, y, width: sz, height: sz}) on every frame, and setMaximumSize(sz, sz) is set on compact enter (cleared on restore). The compact icon stays exactly sz × sz throughout the drag regardless of OS behavior.

Tests

3 new unit tests verify the drag size invariant. All confirmed failing against the pre-fix code and passing after.

ShortPath v1.0.1

Bug fixes

  • Subfolder collapse regression — Subfolders that were manually collapsed would silently re-expand whenever any other action (star, copy) caused a re-render while Expand All was still active. Also fixed: groups in All mode could become impossible to collapse after switching from single-source mode.
  • Compact mode icon grows during drag — The icon scaled up continuously while being dragged. Now the size is locked at its resting state for the full drag duration.
  • Pin button on Support Tools — The pin button (dot) regressed back onto Support Tools cards. Removed.
  • Copy count badge on Favorites — The usage counter (e.g. "3×") was showing on Favorites cards. Removed from that view; the counter still works for Most Used sorting.

No data migration needed. Your entries, settings, and sync sources are unchanged.

ShortPath 1.0

This is the first stable release of ShortPath — a local-first desktop tool for support agents that consolidates saved replies, documentation, SOPs, quick-launch tools, and team sync into one fast, searchable surface.


What's in 1.0

Core search and browsing

  • Instant keyword and full-text search across all entries at once, grouped by category
  • Vertical (category) filter tabs, sub-folder navigation, and a collapse-all toggle
  • Pinned entries always visible at the top; favorites view for starred items
  • Recents section showing the last entries you copied
  • Entry preview card on hover — see body text without opening the entry

Entry management

  • Add, edit, and delete entries with a quick-add form (under 10 seconds)
  • Rich text editor with Bold, Italic, Underline, lists, code blocks, and hyperlinks
  • Plain or HTML copy mode per entry
  • Paste-and-split: paste a multi-section document and ShortPath splits it into individual entries on headings
  • Add from clipboard — one action from copied text to saved entry
  • Usage counter and copy-based sorting

Import and export

  • CSV import with drag-and-drop, column mapping for non-standard files, duplicate detection, and import preview
  • CSV export: all entries, selected entries, or local-only entries
  • URL import: fetch a page and pick which sections to save
  • Markdown and PDF drag-in import
  • Browser extension for Chrome and Firefox — right-click to save any selection or page

Team sync

  • Point ShortPath at a shared CSV in Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive and it stays in sync automatically
  • Multiple sync sources supported simultaneously
  • Local entries are never touched by sync — ever
  • Duplicate detection: after a manual Refresh, ShortPath flags synced entries that share a title and category with your local entries
  • Export mine: send your personal entries to the team admin to fold into the shared file

Support Tools

  • Dedicated grid section for quick-launch links — admin panels, dashboards, forms
  • Reorderable, pinnable, and starrable like any other entry

Appearance and customization

  • Light and dark mode; 6 accent color presets
  • Small, Medium, and Large window size presets; opacity slider; density toggle
  • Adjustable text size; font family choice
  • Compact mode: shrinks to a small icon in the corner, restores on click or hotkey
  • Custom vertical tab order via drag-and-drop

Keyboard-first

  • Global summon hotkey (default: Ctrl+Shift+Space), fully remappable
  • Arrow keys to navigate results; Enter to copy; Esc to dismiss
  • Keyboard shortcuts panel (Alt+K) listing every shortcut
  • Copy then auto-hide option

In-app Help Center

  • 50+ searchable topics covering every feature
  • No browser, no external links

What's next

  • Code signing for Windows (SmartScreen bypass) and macOS (Gatekeeper)
  • macOS build
  • Browser extension store submissions (Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons)
  • Distribution pipeline and auto-update
