Graph view, reworked
The graph used to pull everything toward one point, so a project ended up as a tangle with its files crossing over each other. Not any more.
- Every folder and project claims its own direction. Sibling branches fan out into their own slice of the circle, all the way down, so a project reads as a tree.
- Dragging a project takes its folders and files with it, as one piece. Same for a folder. A single file still moves alone.
- Links between projects lean them toward each other but keep a wide berth instead of merging.
- More room between nodes, names drawn on top of the background so they survive crossing a line, and connections drawn with a slight bow rather than ruler-straight.
Measured on a one-project layout: the angle between the four top folders went from 29° to 86°, and files sitting nearer a foreign folder dropped from 20 of 32 to 11.
Patch notes
- A Patch notes tab in the sidebar keeps the notes for the last ten releases, so you can look up what changed instead of hoping you read the popup.
- Updating across several versions no longer skips the news: coming from an older release now shows everything that happened in between, not just the newest one.
Moving things around
- Dialogs are dragged by their border, on all four sides, instead of by the title.
- The quick search bar can be dragged the same way, and it stays where you put it.
- Dragging a file out of the quick search closes the bar, so the drop lands on whatever was behind it.
Fixes
- Importing a folder that already had a
krate.jsonwas refused as "already a Krate project" even when this Krate did not have it. It is now taken back into the library with its notes and nicknames intact, which also makes "remove from library" undoable.
Installing: download Krate-Setup-2.1.0.exe and run it. Existing installs update themselves within six hours, or immediately via the update bar.
