Thanks for reporting this. I am already aware of the issue, as it was reported previously in issue #5, and your logs helped confirm the specific cause.

The issue originated from a change I made to the windowing system setup intended to handle an invalid database edge case. Unfortunately, this led to the Onboarding process window crashing the entire application. I didn't notice it during my initial testing because I installed v0.2.0 as an update over v0.1.0 (where the onboarding was already complete), but once it was reported in #5, the fix was implemented immediately.

If you are currently blocked by this crash, you can use the following steps to get up and running:

1. Delete the ProseFlow data folder located in %AppData%.
2. Download and install v0.1.0 using the links below:
   • Windows: https://github.com/LSXPrime/ProseFlow/releases/download/v0.1.0/ProseFlow-win-x64-Setup.exe
   • macOS: https://github.com/LSXPrime/ProseFlow/releases/download/v0.1.0/ProseFlow-win-x64-Setup.exe
3. Complete the initial Onboarding process in v0.1.0.
4. Once onboarding is complete, you can let the application update itself to v0.2.0 via the settings menu.

The update containing this fix will be released in a few days. The slight delay is because I am currently finalizing the new Templated Actions feature. While I have finished the basic templated placeholder types (e.g., Text, Choices), I am extending this functionality with more types to provide users a wider range of options for creating dedicated workflows e.g. (Generate a Blog Post Draft → Enter Topic Keywords → Select Target Audience → Define Word Count → Execute) or (Draft a Day off Email → Enter Recipient Name → Enter Reason → Select Tone → Pick a Date → Execute).

Apologies again for any trouble this has caused.

Good evening,

I've just released v0.3.0, which solves this issue. You can safely download the latest version from the website or GitHub releases, or you can update directly from the application if you used the workaround to run it.

This isn't just a bug-fix release, by the way—it's a massive update packed with new functionality. Just to give you a heads-up on what you'll be getting:

• Dynamic Action Templates: This is the biggest change. You can now create actions with placeholders (e.g., Translate this into [language]). When you run it, ProseFlow will pop up a quick form to ask for the language, turning your actions into powerful, reusable tools.
• Generation Mode: The app now intelligently detects if you have text selected. If you trigger the hotkey without a selection, it enters "Generation Mode," letting you create content from scratch without leaving your current window.
• A bunch of UX improvements: I've added features like bulk action management (select/delete/move multiple actions at once) to make organizing your workflow much easier.

Hope you like the new stuff! Let me know if you have any feedback.
