Arf v1.6.1
Fixed
- Drag and drop now works in the desktop app. Moving notes into folders, nesting folders,
reordering notes and folders, and dragging references onto Library folders were silently broken in
the packaged app because the window's OS-level drag-drop handler intercepted the events. It is now
disabled so in-app HTML5 drag and drop works — and dropping an image file into the editor works too. - PDF export works on macOS and Linux. Export now prints the document itself rather than a hidden
frame, which the macOS/Linux system webviews silently ignored. - Note images render wherever your vault lives. Images are inlined directly in the reading view
instead of through a scoped file protocol, so they show correctly for a vault on any drive or
folder, including after a restart. - Copy and paste from the right-click menu now use the system clipboard reliably on macOS and Linux.
- Turkish author names make correct citekeys. A dotless ı (Kılıç, Yıldız, Işık) is folded to i
rather than dropped. - The end-of-note reference list is always readable prose. Its style is limited to APA and Nature
(the machine formats — BibTeX, RIS, CSL-JSON, Zenodo — stay in the Library export where they
belong), and same-author/same-year entries carry the a/b suffix that matches the in-text citation. - The on-device model's status and Disable control in Settings are vertically aligned.
Added
- Search online databases to add a reference. Alongside pasting a DOI/ISBN/arXiv ID, you can now
search Crossref and Open Library by title, author, or keyword and pick a result to add. - Choose where a citation appears. For each
[@key], pick in-text + reference list (the default),
in-text only, or reference-list only (like\nocite) — from the citation picker, no syntax to learn. - Click a dangling
[[wikilink]]in the reading view to create that note. - The sidebar auto-scrolls while dragging near its top or bottom edge, so an off-screen folder is
reachable without releasing the drag. - Keyboard focus rings on text fields, dialog focus containment (the background is inert while a
dialog is open), and focus returns to its origin on close.
Changed
- Faster at scale: the weekly Synthesis no longer computes while closed, the folder sync skips its
re-read while the window is hidden, the link index is rebuilt on a short debounce instead of on
every keystroke, and the Rust core is compiled for speed.
Installing — these builds are unsigned (no paid certificate yet):
- Windows — SmartScreen may warn: More info → Run anyway.
- macOS — right-click the app → Open the first time (Gatekeeper).
