Mowl v1.7.0
Added
- Self-update (Windows). About → Check for updates looks at the latest release here. A download is only accepted if its signature matches a key built into the app. The portable
Mowl.exeis replaced in place and restarted, installer builds run the new installer, and Scoop installs are pointed atscoop update mowl. Once a day at startup Mowl checks quietly and puts a dot on the About button when something is new — that is the only time it goes online by itself; switch it off under Settings → System or withauto_check_updates = false. (Copies older than 1.7.0 can't update themselves — install this one manually once.) - Configurable keyboard shortcuts — Settings → Shortcuts, or
[shortcuts]insettings.toml. Copy/paste/undo,Ctrl/Cmd+KandCtrl/Cmd+0–7stay fixed. - Raw HTML shown as content —
<img>(local paths,width/align, also wrapped in<div>/<p>/<a>),<kbd>,<a href>, collapsible<details>/<summary>,<div align="…">and<!--more-->. Display only: your Markdown is saved exactly as written. - Image toolbar — click an image to align it left/centre/right, scale it to 25 / 50 / 75 / 100 % of its original size, or remove it. An untouched image stays plain Markdown; once scaled or aligned it is saved as
<img src alt width align>(understood by GitHub and most renderers) and turns back into Markdown at the defaults. - Drag & drop — drop
.md/.markdown/.mdx/.txtfiles onto the window to open them. - Windows "Open with" — Settings → System → Register adds the portable exe to the "Open with" menu of Markdown files (per user, removable).
Changed
- Clearer icon for the Export button.
- README: centred header; all five languages cover the new features.
- Because file drops are now handled by the app on Windows, dragging selected text inside the editor may no longer work there.
