PATANYX 1.0.7

PATANYX 1.0.7 makes the toolbar easier to arrange, adds new themes, backs up your whole vault and Library in one encrypted file, and on Windows can keep the sites you choose signed in between sessions.

Download from https://patanyx.net/download/ rather than from this page. On Windows, existing copies find this update on their own, download it in the background unless you have turned that off, and, unless you have turned on automatic installation, ask before installing it. On Linux, 1.0.6 is offered 1.0.7 in its Updates panel; a copy older than 1.0.6 updates to 1.0.6 first, then to 1.0.7.

A Menu, and a toolbar that folds

• A new Menu button at the right end of the toolbar holds Reader View, Find on this page, Find across tabs and Image check (both Premium), About this site, Page integrity, Updates, About PATANYX and Customize toolbar. On Windows it also has Print this page and Save page as PDF.
• The second row of buttons is in four groups, Network, Tabs, Saved and Tools, and each group can fold into a single button (Menu, then Customize toolbar). A folded group opens as a short menu. In a narrow window, groups fold on their own until the row fits, without changing your setting.
• On Windows, the tab strip takes the place of the title bar, which gives pages more room. The minimize, maximize and close buttons sit in the tab strip, and its empty space moves the window.

Themes

• Fourteen accent colors, six chrome color schemes (Dark, White, Black, Graphite, Midnight and Paper), three textures (Glow, Grain and Stripes) and eight presets, all free, in the Theme panel.
• Panels, menus and notices fade and slide. Reduce motion in the Theme panel turns that off, and PATANYX also follows your system's setting.

Back up your whole vault and Library

• The Vault's Backup tab can now write one encrypted export of your vault and your Library, protected by a passphrase of its own. It holds everything in your vault, including your Private Tunnel configuration and Premium token, and, while your Library is open, your bookmarks, Tab Shelf, Deep Recall pages, page snapshots with their pictures, and Divergence Exceptions. Download records stay on the computer. Your recovery key does not open the export.
• An export or import shows its progress and can be stopped.
• Importing a backup replaces the vault and Library on that computer.
• Backups made by PATANYX 1.0.7 open in 1.0.7 and newer.

Keep chosen sites signed in (Windows)

• In the Privacy panel you can keep sites you choose, such as Messenger, signed in between sessions, unless the site itself signs you out. A kept site gets its own storage, which stays on your computer from one session to the next and also holds what other sites store inside its pages. Everything else is still cleared in full at every start. When you open Messenger, PATANYX offers to keep it.
• Each site you already kept in 1.0.6 signs you out once after this update.

Tabs and pages

• You can allow ads and trackers in one tab, for the site it is on. The tab goes back to blocking when it moves to another site or closes.
• When you open a site that another tab already has open, PATANYX offers to switch to that tab or close the new one. One switch in the Theme panel turns this off.

Fixes

• On Linux, ad and tracker blocking starts with the very first page a new install opens.
• On Windows, PATANYX starts on PCs that do not have Microsoft's Visual C++ runtime installed.
• On Windows, a frozen tab's toolbar button says Frozen as soon as the freeze takes hold.
