Commander 0.1.0 alpha 4
This alpha expands every major result list, improves preview loading, and adds finer control over Commander Hub notifications and replies.
Play Protect notice: Commander is distributed directly through GitHub rather than Google Play. Play Protect may therefore describe the app as unknown or block installation. Commander also offers optional sensitive Android features such as Accessibility, notification access, contacts, SMS, and file access. Download only from this release, verify the attached SHA-256 checksum, and do not disable Play Protect globally. More information is available in the setup guide.
New in this build
- Added complete, keyboard-navigable result lists for apps, app shortcuts, Settings, aliases, Tasker tasks, files, folders, and contacts.
- Added viewport-aware app icon and file preview loading. Rows populate as they become visible without decoding every result in advance.
- Added notification ignore rules for individual conversations, notification types, and entire apps.
- Added an Ignored notifications section under Hub Manage where rules can be reviewed and restored.
- Added an option to keep the Hub reply popup open after sending. Keeping it open is the default.
Fixes and improvements
- Fixed an app-search crash caused by temporary duplicate row identities while results refreshed.
- Fixed long result lists so keyboard navigation continues beyond the initial viewport and keeps the selected row visible.
- Fixed result positioning after returning from a search.
- Kept protective spacing below result lists without adding unwanted spacing above the first row.
- Improved app icon and file thumbnail reliability when scrolling by touch or keyboard.
- Improved Hub reply reconciliation to prevent duplicate outgoing bubbles and repeated sends.
- Kept the reply conversation visible when the originating notification is replaced or removed after sending.
- Improved physical-keyboard alias acceptance and prevented duplicate Enter callbacks from executing an alias prematurely.
Notes
- Notification ignore rules are local to Commander and do not remove matching notifications from Android's notification shade.
- Preview loading is limited to visible rows to preserve search speed and avoid unnecessary storage or package-manager work.
