What's changed in v0.6.1
This release consolidates the work completed from Friday, September 11 through Monday, September 14, 2026.
- Predictable window states: unpinned notes on the desktop follow normal app layering; an unpinned note summoned inside a full-screen space is temporary and hides when the user clicks outside or leaves that space; a pinned note stays above the current app and follows the user across spaces.
- Consistent activation: the shortcut, Dock icon, and menu bar icon all bring FloatNote to the front on the screen where the user is currently working. Stale full-screen locations are no longer reused, and closing the note clears its pinned state.
- Image blocks: import and save local images, resize them, and align them left, center, or right, with the center alignment icon displayed correctly.
- Saved links: keep HTTP/HTTPS links as colored, editable text with open, copy, edit, and remove actions.
- Simple tables: insert tables and add or remove rows and columns without merge/split-cell complexity.
- Block editing gaps: images, tables, and code blocks keep fixed physical space above and below; clicking that space starts a normal text paragraph without allowing adjacent blocks to collapse together.
- Safer table deletion: the first “Delete table” action selects the whole table; the next Delete/Backspace or delete action removes it. A paragraph immediately after a table can target the table instead of moving the cursor into its last cell.
- Localized editing menus: the app’s custom context menu follows the selected language, including image, link, table, and block actions.
- Context menu placement: the localized right-click menu automatically fits inside the current window, including near screen edges.
- Local-first media storage: imported images and layout metadata are saved with the note locally, with validation for unsupported, oversized, malformed, or unsafe paths.

下载: FloatNote_0.6.1_aarch64.dmg
v0.6.1 更新内容
本版本汇总了 2026 年 9 月 11 日(周五)至 9 月 14 日(周一)完成的改动。
- 窗口状态更清晰:桌面未图钉时遵循普通 App 的层级逻辑;在全屏界面未图钉时属于当前全屏空间的临时便签,点击外部或离开该空间后退到后台;激活图钉后始终浮在当前 App 上方,并随用户跨屏切换。
- 拉起方式统一:快捷键、Dock 栏图标和顶部状态栏图标,都会在用户当前所在屏幕把 FloatNote 拉到前台,不再复用已经离开的全屏位置;点击关闭按钮会同时取消图钉状态。
- 图片内容:支持导入和保存本地图片,可调整大小,并设置左、中、右位置;修复居中位置图标缺失问题。
- 链接保存:HTTP/HTTPS 链接以彩色文字保存,并支持打开、复制、编辑和移除。
- 简单表格:支持插入表格、添加和删除行列,不引入合并或拆分单元格的复杂操作。
- 块内容编辑区:图片、表格、代码框前后保留固定物理空间,点击即可进入文本编辑行;删除编辑行后,块之间仍保留默认间距。
- 表格删除保护:第一次点击“删除表格”只选中整张表格;再次点击删除,或按 Delete/Backspace,才真正删除。表格后紧邻文本行时会正确定位整张表格,不再跳入最后一个单元格。
- 菜单语言统一:自定义右键菜单会跟随设置中的语言,图片、链接、表格和块操作不再固定显示英文。
- 右键菜单定位:菜单会自动适应当前窗口边界,靠近屏幕边缘时不会跑到可视区域之外。
- 本地媒体安全保存:图片和布局元数据随便签本地保存,并对不支持、超大、损坏或不安全路径的媒体进行校验。
