The Chat Place 0.1.6

The Chat Place 0.1.6

An update to 0.1.5, still a pre-release. If you have 0.1.5 installed, it offers this update itself
(Help, Check for Updates asks at once), and your sessions and settings are kept.

Added

• Find in All Sessions. View, Find in All Sessions (Ctrl+Shift+S) searches the messages of
  every session in the list. Enter on a result opens that session at that message. (#109) (#199)
• Permission mode and effort. File, Change Permission Mode (Ctrl+Shift+O) and File, Change
  Effort change them for one of The Chat Place's own sessions, from its next turn. New Session
  has an Effort box too. (#189) (#196)
• Links. View, Links (Ctrl+L) lists the links in the loaded session, newest first. Enter
  opens one, and Ctrl+C copies it. (#190) (#198)
• Properties. View, Properties (Alt+Enter) lists the details of the selected session or
  message. (#214) (#218)
• Tidy the recent folders. In File, New Session (Ctrl+N), Delete removes a folder from the
  Folder list. Settings (Ctrl+Comma) sets how many are offered, and Clear Recent Folders (Alt+L)
  clears them. (#215) (#217)

Changed

• Last activity follows what Claude is doing. A session that's working reads "active just
  now", not the time its turn began. View, Session List Columns has a new Started column, for when
  each session began. (#209) (#210)

Fixed

• Sharp text at higher display scaling. At 125% or more, text is as sharp as in other
  apps, and tall dialogs such as New Session no longer run under the taskbar. (#185) (#186)
  (#219)
• New Session and Continue Here show their fields whole. New Session's Folder box is as
  wide as the others, and Continue Here shows the start of its title and all of its note. (#178)
  (#208)
• The session list keeps its width. It no longer narrows while Claude works or as you move
  between sessions. (#179) (#213)
• The status bar's buttons show their whole text. (#175) (#202)
• Long text no longer runs off the edge of the window. In Settings, Report a Bug, Session
  List Columns, Usage and Context, and the heading above the messages, long lines now wrap.
  (#176) (#205)
• A first run says how to start. With no sessions yet, the messages say how to start one.
  (#182) (#206)
• Show Tool Activity is set for each session. Ctrl+T now turns it on or off for the loaded
  session only, and each session remembers it. (#162) (#194)
• Code blocks keep their outline in High Contrast, in formatted messages, the user guide
  and exported web pages. (#155) (#188)
• Report a Bug opens even when Windows can't give its full version. (#211)

Reporting Issues

Found a problem or have a suggestion? Help, Report a Bug fills in a report and shows you
exactly what it includes before it goes anywhere: never your session titles, folders or messages.

1. Open on GitHub copies the report and opens a new GitHub issue with it filled in. This needs
   access to the repository.
2. Copy Report puts the report on the clipboard, to email to
   support@theideaplace.net.

Downloads

The same files as 0.1.5: TheChatPlace-windows-Setup.exe, TheChatPlace-windows-Portable.zip and
TheChatPlace-macos-arm64.dmg, with the update feeds. See the
user guide to get started, and

Requirements

The same as 0.1.0: Windows 10 or 11, or a Mac with Apple silicon, and Claude Code installed with
its native installer and signed in to a Claude subscription. See the 0.1.0 release notes for the
details.
