Crest 0.6.6
Where your sound goes, without going looking for it. Moving from your
speakers to your headset is four clicks deep in a flyout that closes if you look
at it wrong, and the microphone is somewhere else entirely. There is a Quick
Access panel now: your speakers and your microphone, one row each, showing what
Windows is actually using — click one, pick another, done. Notifications learned
a few manners in the same release, and can now be copied, put off for five
minutes, or opened if there was a link in them.
New
- A Quick Access panel — your speakers and your microphone. Each row shows
the device Windows is really using right now, not a setting of Crest's, so it
stays right when you change it from anywhere else. Click a row for everything
else that is plugged in, and pick one. Switching moves your calls too, rather
than leaving voice chat on the device you just left - Plug something in while the panel is open and it appears. The list is live —
a headset waking up, a monitor's speakers arriving with the cable — so you are
never choosing from a list that was true a minute ago - Notifications you can do something with. Open one in the notch and there
are three buttons under it: Copy takes the whole message, Snooze 5m
puts it away and brings it back in five minutes, and Open link appears when
there is a link in the message and opens it in your browser. Snoozing only
hides it from Crest — it stays exactly where it is in Windows' own notification
centre the whole time, so nothing can be lost this way
Fixed
- The notification buttons no longer move under your cursor. Which buttons a
message had depended on whether it contained a link, and the row reflowed around
that — so Dismiss sat somewhere slightly different from one notification to the
next - A link at the end of a sentence opens the link. The full stop after it was
being taken as part of the address, which reliably opened a page that wasn't
there
