A pass over the interface against Etch's own managers, measured on a live builder rather than eyeballed. One real bug turned up while testing it.

Versioning: this plugin is still in testing and has only ever been installed by its author, so the numbering has moved to a 0.x series to say so. This release is the former 1.25.0, renumbered. 1.0.0 is reserved for the first public release.

Fixed

  • Typing in a search field lost the caret. The Library filter and the Google Fonts search rebuild the content pane a moment after each keystroke, which destroyed the field you were typing in and dropped focus to the page. Focus and selection now survive a re-render.

Changed

  • Back buttons match Etch's. Measured on the Loop Manager: Etch uses its outline button at 40x28 with a 14px arrow, not a square icon button with a chevron. All three back buttons are now that control, and the two inside the panel say where they land: Back to Library and Back to Google Fonts.
  • A search with no matches answers like the Asset Manager, repeating the term back in the middle of the pane instead of a line of small print under the toolbar.
  • Tooltips on ten controls that had none or had native title attributes, including every icon-only button.
  • Clicking a text field no longer draws the focus ring. Tabbing to it still does.
  • Sidebar and cards tidied: no "Manage" heading, a little more room between menu items, capitalised stat labels, and a roomier "Disabled" badge.

Removed

  • The Compact layout. Row and Grid remain. An install that had Compact selected falls back to Grid.

Notes

No change to your fonts, settings or stored data. Translators: manage and layoutCompact are gone, back and backToBrowse become backToLibrary and backToGoogle, and noMatches becomes noResultsFor and checkSpelling.

Install: download etch-font-manager.zip below. Coming from a 1.x build, install this zip over it rather than waiting for an update, since WordPress will not offer what looks like a downgrade.
