ii-windows 1.0.1 — Jazz-Handed Octopus

A cleanup round on 1.0: a lighter shell sitting idle, and a few things that held on to memory for longer than they should.

Less memory. AI chat messages you delete, clear or replace with /load are actually freed now, after any reply, upload or approved command still writing to them is done. Before, every message stayed in memory until ii restarted, and the same goes for dismissed notifications. The left sidebar builds a tab when you first open it and lets a tab go two minutes after you leave it, keeping your draft, your translation and where you had scrolled. The overview is released two minutes after you close it, like the cheatsheet and the wallpaper selector already were. Online wallpaper thumbnails are decoded at the size they're shown, the blurred album cover behind the media tab is only loaded while the blur is on screen, a screenshot you cancel is dropped right away instead of 30 seconds later, and dock previews let go of the window capture once they fade out.

Less CPU. The desktop visualizer pauses while the desktop is covered, locked or in game mode, and loading spinners and the weather map marker stop when nobody can see them. A running stopwatch only ticks while something on screen shows it: once a second on the bar and the desktop, hundredths only on the sidebar tab that shows them.

Fixes

• With the widgets above the desktop icons (the default with the Windows wallpaper), the spinning clock didn't spin.
• /save NAME in the AI chat could quietly not save right after a reply, so /load NAME failed.
• Copying a picture from the clipboard history no longer adds it to the history a second time.
• Two recordings started at the same moment can't end up writing to the same file.
• A frozen window in tiling no longer makes ii keep retrying it without a pause.

If you're on 1.0.0, the update notification and the setup pick this up; your settings stay.
