WinAirBar v1.4.0
WinAirBar v1.4.0 is the Workspace Control Center release. It keeps the quick Workspace flyout fast, but adds a deeper local control surface for previewing, restoring, organizing, backing up, and visually remembering workspaces.
What's New
- Added the dedicated Workspace Control Center with workspace cards, details, restore planning, screen galleries, metadata, rules, suggestions, launcher tags, groups, and timeline views.
- Added preview-first restore planning with matched windows, launch targets, missing items, low-confidence matches, monitor remaps, changed positions, and extra current windows.
- Added restore modes: Full Restore, Missing Only, Layout Only, and Clean Restore.
- Added Clean Restore cleanup choices for extra windows, with protected/risky windows kept by default and close actions requiring final confirmation.
- Added workspace versions before updates, capped at the latest 10 versions per workspace.
- Added local timeline logging for workspace changes, restore results, cleanup actions, backup import/export, and suggestion decisions.
- Added the Workspace Switcher overlay and bottom-action path for fast visual workspace switching.
- Added deterministic local workspace suggestions based on repeated app/window groups.
- Added Window Rules v1, pinned window groups, multiple launcher tags, and per-workspace auto-actions.
- Added backup conflict previews with Keep Local, Import As Copy, and Overwrite choices.
- Added screen memory for workspaces, including larger galleries and thumbnails in the workspace list.
- Added
Force Closeto window right-click actions.
UI Polish
- Kept the quick Workspace flyout lightweight while moving deeper controls into the Control Center.
- Added a dedicated quick workspace capture header button.
- Improved dark-theme contrast across Control Center tabs, cards, and controls.
- Added workspace card right-click actions for preview, restore, update, rename, duplicate, copy name, snapshot, switcher, and delete.
- Made full secondary windows close the small launcher menu quickly after they open.
- Added long-name hover tooltips and responsive workspace card sizing.
Upgrade Notes
Existing workspace JSON remains compatible. New v1.4 fields are optional and stay readable under %AppData%\WinAirBar.
Workspace screenshots are stored locally under %AppData%\WinAirBar and are captured when saving or updating a workspace.
Clean Restore never closes extra windows by default. Closing windows requires a preview and final confirmation.
