Browser pane: open a web page or local dev server beside its terminal
Images, SVG, PDF, audio and video open in file tabs
Text files over 1 MiB open read-only, a part at a time
Markdown has Edit / Read, remembered per file, keeping your place
Updating ends running shells: the daemon must restart
Browser pane
compi browse URL (or Open browser in the palette) opens a page in a pane beside the terminal; --down splits below. It splits, floats and closes like any pane and comes back after a restart.
Toolbar with Back, Forward, Reload/Stop and an address field (Ctrl+L, Cmd+L on macOS, or F6). Pages that fail to load show why, with Retry.
compi window list reports each shown page's address, title, loading state and error.
Uses the system web view (WebView2 on Windows, WebKit on macOS) with one profile per Compi instance. Only http, https, file and about:blank addresses open.
File previews
Images (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, BMP, ICO and others) open as images, with zoom about the pointer, drag to pan, Fit and 100%. SVG files get a View mode beside Edit.
PDF, audio and video open in the system web view: PDFs in its viewer, audio and video in a player. Files stream in pieces, so size does not matter; playback pauses when the tab is hidden, and closing the tab releases it.
Text files too large for the editor (over 1 MiB) show read-only 1 MiB at a time, with Start, Previous, Next and End, search within the part, and a notice when the file changes on disk.
Files the preview cannot show say what they are, for example 2.0 MB · Video file.
Markdown
Edit / Read / Diff switch on every Markdown tab, and Read Markdown (Ctrl+E, Cmd+E on macOS; a terminal keeps the key).
Switching keeps your place: the line at the top of one mode stays at the top of the other.
Each window remembers which files you last read, so a file reopens in the mode you left it. compi notes opens in Read, compi edit in Edit.
Fixes
Resizing a window no longer jumps a scrolled-back terminal to the bottom, including when a program such as omp reprints its text at the new width.
The image inspector's wheel zoom is gentler (about 1.4× a notch instead of over 2×).
Updating
Running shells end. Daemon protocol 34 and workspace format 8 replace 0.3.x's protocol 32 and format 7, so the update restarts the local daemon after you consent. Save your work first. Remote daemons are not restarted by the local updater.
A 0.3.x daemon refuses a workspace saved by 0.4.0. Do not downgrade an existing workspace without a backup.
Windows, from 0.3.0 or earlier: run Compi 0.4.0 Setup once; the older update helper cannot replace itself. From 0.3.1, update in the app.
Limitations
On macOS the browser pane and the PDF, audio and video previews have not yet been checked on screen. A page there hides while a floating pane overlaps it, failed loads show no failure notice, and loading shows only once content arrives.
Animated GIF and WebP show their first frame only.
Windows packages are not publisher-signed. The macOS app is ad-hoc signed, not notarized. Operating-system trust warnings may appear; signed update metadata does not replace publisher signing.
