Cosmas 1.2.1 Beta

Cosmas 1.2.1 Beta

The first beta of Cosmas (Czech Kosmas): everything from 1.2.0 plus the fixes from a full review of the app, the web
chronicle and the website. If you installed 1.2.0, please update – it had a bug that made taking over an existing
catalogue fail on the first start.

Ready for everyday use; please report anything odd with ? → Report a bug in the title bar.

New in 1.2

• Updates inside the app: checks after the start and every 12 hours, downloads in the background, verifies the SHA-256,
  Restart and install. Stable or beta channel, skip a version, or turn checks off.
• Send feedback / Report a bug from the ? menu, with an optional (redacted) log, screenshot and a preview of exactly
  what is sent; works offline. After an unexpected error the app offers to send a report.
• Settings in sections, automatic daily backups (newest 7 kept) with Restore… and Export as JSON….
• Start minimized, keep running in the notification area, rescan interval, resume videos, frame-by-frame with , and ..
• In English the app is called Cosmas, in Czech Kosmas.

Fixed

• Taking over an existing catalogue on the first start always failed (the new log file was open). Fixed and tested.
• A write-up could be saved into another event (or a biography into another character) when you switched quickly
  after typing. Every editor now saves only into its own record and only when something changed.
• Restoring a backup was undone by the next sync. After a restore, differences with the web become conflicts you decide;
  nothing is deleted silently.
• Quick edits of two fields (factions, places, players, letters, AI settings) now save both.
• Changing the game of a video by hand survives rescans; rescans are much lighter (cached probes, failed thumbnails are not
  retried every time) and no longer reload the whole window.
• Only one Cosmas runs per data folder; starting it again shows the running window.
• The log can no longer freeze the app; the AI worker log is capped and a crashing worker restarts with a pause.
• English users get English transcription and AI chapters by default (Czech for a Czech interface).
• A copy unpacked from a ZIP no longer tries to update itself into the wrong folder.
• Exported clips use safe folder names; error messages no longer start with technical class names.
• Dialogs: Escape closes only the top one, buttons can't be clicked twice while working, keyboard focus stays inside.

Privacy and security

• Rich text coming from the web or pasted is cleaned before it is shown, and the app window only runs its own scripts.
• The Discord bot token is no longer sent to the app's page; changing the sync server signs you out instead of sending
  your token to the new address.
• The share dialog now says plainly that syncing uploads your whole catalogue to your private web chronicle and only the
  shared record becomes visible; that a character used on Discord gets a card with its link in the community forum; and
  that videos show on a public event only when the video itself is published.
• Uninstalling explains exactly what Delete the catalogue removes (catalogue, attachments, AI data, exported clips,
  backups). Recordings in your recording folders are never touched.
• Feedback: the log is attached only when you tick it.

Web chronicle (gingygames.com/kosmas)

Fixed together with this release: several access-control holes in the public chronicle (no private record, image or
link-only record can be reached by others any more), a stricter HTML filter, Content-Security-Policy, and nicer link
previews.

Cosmas 1.2.0

Cosmas 1.2.0

In English the app is now called Cosmas, in Czech Kosmas (after Cosmas of Prague). Your data, install folder and settings stay where they were.

New

• Updates inside the app – Cosmas checks for new versions after the start and every 12 hours, shows Update x.y.z in the title bar, downloads the installer in the background (resumable), verifies its SHA-256 and installs it with one click (Restart and install). Stable or beta channel, skip a version, or turn automatic checks off.
• Send feedback / Report a bug from the ? menu in the title bar: bug, idea, question; optional log (redacted), screenshot and system info, with a preview of exactly what is sent. Works offline – the report is sent later. After an unexpected error the app offers to send a report.
• Settings in sections with a side menu: General, Library, Player, Moments & events, AI, Web & sync, Data & backups, Privacy & diagnostics, Keyboard shortcuts, About. Everything saves at once.
• Automatic backups of the catalogue (daily, newest 7 kept), Back up now, Restore…, Export as JSON…, cache sizes and cleanup.
• New options: start minimized, keep running in the notification area, look for new recordings every N minutes, continue videos where you left off, jump lengths for the arrows, volume up to 200 %, software video decoding, frame by frame with , and ..
• A log file (logs\cosmas.log in the data folder) and Copy diagnostics.

Changed

• Installer: Cosmas-Setup-1.2.0.exe; shortcuts are named after the installer language (Cosmas / Kosmas) and replace the old "Kosmas" shortcuts.

SHA-256: see Cosmas-Setup-1.2.0.exe.sha256.

Kosmas 1.1.0

Kosmas 1.1.0 – Kronikář is now called Kosmas, and it can share your chronicle on the web.

Download

Kosmas-Setup-1.1.0.exe (below) – 64-bit Windows 10 (1809+) / 11. It installs per user, without admin rights. If you have 1.0 (Kronikář), it updates that install in place and your data stays.

New

• Sign in with Discord and sync with the web chronicle at gingygames.com/kosmas. There's no token to copy: your browser opens and you click Allow.
• Share characters, factions, places, events and moments: Only me, Anyone with the link or Public.
• Use on Discord: puts a character on the community bot as a card.
• English interface. It switches to Czech automatically on a Czech or Slovak system (Settings → Language).
• Test data: mark records as test. They are hidden unless you show them, they never sync, and you can delete them all at once (after an automatic backup).
• Safer first start: an installed copy finds a catalogue from an earlier copy, asks you, and copies it without touching the original.

Fixes

• "Moment" is used consistently (instead of "bookmark").
• Correct dates and game names for Medal files whose game name ends in a digit (e.g. Red Dead Redemption 2).
• Settings show the real data folder.
• Fixed avatar initials, the event tabs next to the player, the user bar counts after a scan, and the shortcut hints.
