v0.1.1 — copy/paste + launcher fixes, resume picker
Maintenance release — fixes copy/paste and the launcher, adds a visual resume picker.
Fixed
- Copy/paste now works. Clipboard moved to the main process (the sandboxed renderer can't use Electron's
clipboardmodule), and the app runs under XWayland (--ozone-platform=x11) — native-Wayland Chromium doesn't sync the clipboard with the system, which broke copy/paste with other apps. - "Clicking the launcher did nothing." It no longer depends on libfuse2 (absent on Ubuntu 24.04) — launches via
run.sh/APPIMAGE_EXTRACT_AND_RUN=1, andrun.shexecs the Electron binary directly (nonodeonPATHrequired).
Added
- Visual "Resume Session" picker — Session ▸ Resume Session… (
Ctrl+Shift+E): click a past session instead of typingclaude --resume. - Mouse copy/paste — select-to-copy (PRIMARY selection), middle-click paste, right-click Copy / Paste / Select All.
- AppImage self-integration — installs its own
.desktopentry + icon into~/.local/shareon first launch.
