Tinta v3.2.0

Markdown, distilled. The review release: annotations, file references, and a dozen quality-of-life touches for reading (and reviewing) agent-written Markdown.

Installation

  • Easiest: winget install "Tinta Markdown Viewer" -s msstore (Store-signed, no security prompts, auto-updates), or the Microsoft Store page
  • Portable: download tinta.exe below and run it (SmartScreen may ask: "More info", then "Run anyway")
  • Optionally run tinta.exe /register to register Markdown and Mermaid files

Review annotations (#126)

  • Select text and press A (or right-click, Annotate) to attach a note; annotated text gets a soft tint and a square on a rail beside the scrollbar, with a line pointing at the passage
  • Notes are stored as invisible HTML comments in the file itself, so nothing else renders them and the file stays the only source of truth
  • Hover a square for a preview beside the section; click it (or the tinted text) to edit or delete; off-screen annotations park at the rail's edges and clicking a parked square jumps to its text
  • The copy-for-agent button puts the file path, a task instruction, and every remark with line numbers on the clipboard: paste it into any coding agent, and as the agent fixes items and deletes the comments, the squares vanish live

File references (#127)

  • Plain-text paths like docs/plan.md in agent-written notes become real links: existing targets show the link color with a dashed underline and open as a tab on click; missing targets render as faded, inert ghosts
  • [text](target.md) links to local files get the same live/missing treatment and open as tabs instead of shelling out
  • Mouse back/forward (or Alt+Left / Alt+Right) walks your link jumps with exact scroll restore, and reopens the document if its tab was closed

Link peek

  • Rest the pointer on a local .md or wiki link for half a second and the target opens fully rendered in a panel beside the link - headings, tables, diagrams, your theme - without opening a tab

Quality of life

  • Pin on top: a pushpin in the title bar keeps the window above every other app
  • Image lightbox: click any inline image to view it full size - wheel zooms, drag pans, Esc closes
  • Table of contents follows your reading position, and typing while it is open filters the headings (Enter jumps to the first match)
  • Find-in-page paints every match as a tick on the scrollbar, the current match brighter
  • Tables grow a Copy TSV button on hover: paste straight into Excel or Sheets as a grid
  • Diagrams grow an Image button: a crisp 2x PNG lands on the clipboard for slides and chats
  • Paste a screenshot in edit mode and it saves as a PNG beside the document with the Markdown link inserted
  • The Annotate key is rebindable like every other shortcut, in both keymap profiles

What's included

  • Export as HTML, DOCX, or PDF from the context menu

  • Hardware-accelerated rendering via Direct2D
  • Single portable executable about 1.9 MB, no dependencies
