PinNote v1.4.0
A polish release built on automated browser walkthroughs plus several rounds of hands-on feedback — lots of everyday interactions got smoother.
✨ New
- Recolor tiles from the note list: right-click any note → "Tile color…" submenu, no need to open the tile
- Smarter screenshots (
Ctrl+Shift+S): when a note or tile has focus, the capture is inserted at your cursor; when another app has focus, it goes to the clipboard only. Every capture is also copied to the clipboard - Voice hotkeys follow your focus: recording starts in the main window if that's where you are, instead of always popping a tile; with no app focus, the previous recording tile is reused so one movie night doesn't scatter tiles everywhere
- Click-to-type empty states: an empty tile shows a "click to start writing" hint, and clicking anywhere in an empty note list creates a note
- "Uncategorized" section: always visible in the list — collapsible, and you can drag notes onto it to move them out of a group
- Double-click a tile to edit: double-click anywhere on a tile in preview mode to start editing
- Safer group deletion: notes in a deleted group go to the trash (30-day recovery) instead of being scattered
🐛 Fixed
- Tile color picker popup had overlapping swatches; the trigger dot could become invisible against same-color backgrounds (now a palette icon)
- Using bold/italic in a long document jumped the editor back to the top
- Bold/italic/inline-code shortcuts now toggle: press again to remove the marker, and bold/italic no longer interfere with each other
- Note list previews and titles no longer show raw Markdown symbols (
#,**, …) - Split-view synced scrolling now works inside very long paragraphs (proportional mapping)
- The app now always checks for updates once on launch, no longer gated by the 24-hour interval; the "download updates automatically" switch actually works (installing still asks for your confirmation)
- Tiles opened by a voice hotkey were missing the recording indicator (red dot / level meter / timer)
- Sliders and scrollbars incorrectly showed a text cursor
- Trash items' confirm buttons no longer squeeze into the metadata line
- Tile bottom bar re-laid out: action buttons grouped left, word count and save status on the right
