KoBar 1.4.3

A feature and fix release on top of 1.4.2. Everything in 1.4.0, 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 applies; your data is not touched and the plugin contract is unchanged.

What is new in 1.4.3

  • Import notes from text files. Use the new "Import" button next to "+" in the note list, or drop .txt / .md files onto the note panel. One note is created per file and is titled by the file name. UTF-8, UTF-16 and Windows-1254 (Turkish ANSI) files are read correctly. Files over 5 MB are skipped with a message.
  • Open with KoBar for .txt files. Right-click a .txt file > Open with > KoBar. The file opens as a copy in a new note; the original file is never changed. KoBar is only added to the "Open with" list, it does not take over .txt files.
  • Launch at login works again. KoBar now checks the real Windows startup state on every start and repairs it, including entries left by an older install location.
  • The Settings window stays in front of the bar while it is open.
  • Save a note as a .txt file again: Ctrl+S, Ctrl+Shift+S, or the menu next to the note title. The suggested name is the note title.

Notes for installing

  • The installer adds KoBar to the "Open with" list of .txt files (Windows registry, OpenWithProgids and Applications\KoBar.exe). The uninstaller removes these entries. The default app for .txt is not changed.
  • The Windows installer from GitHub is not code-signed. Windows SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC": click "More info", then "Run anyway".
  • The Microsoft Store build is signed by Microsoft and is updated by the Store.

Earlier changes

  • 1.4.2: new logo and app icons, animated KoBar head.
  • 1.4.1: fixed the KoBox folder-copy helper on the Node version bundled in Electron 44.
  • 1.4.0: the remaster release (new Settings window, design system, safer plugin installs, 10 languages, full backup and restore). See the 1.4.0 notes on GitHub for the complete list, data backup locations and known issues.
