Codex Pointer 0.6.1

Website / 双语主页

Dragging the circle onto a window or dropping a file/folder onto it now selects the target without opening the task panel. Click the circle to open the selected target; click again to collapse. Reopening keeps the selection and draft, including while target lookup is in progress. Lookup completion or failure does not open a hidden panel.

拖动圆圈到目标窗口，或把文件、文件夹拖到圆圈后，只选择目标，面板保持收起。点击圆圈才展开，再点收起；保留已选对象和草稿。后台识别完成或失败均不会自动弹出面板。按 Esc 取消拖动时仍恢复拖动前状态。

Download codex-pointer-0.6.1-windows-x64.zip for the complete plugin. Quit the old circle, reload plugins or restart Codex, and reopen Pointer. English / Chinese UI continues to follow Codex's language setting.

升级前请先右键退出旧圆圈，重载插件或重启 Codex，再打开新版。

Fix

File and folder drops now validate their path without loading desktop accessibility libraries or creating an Explorer COM object. This reduces first-use startup work and avoids a timeout on Windows environments with slower desktop initialization. Explorer accessibility is loaded only when a window lookup needs it. The three-second query budget is unchanged.

The Windows integration tests also handle equivalent short (8.3) and full paths correctly. Real-process metadata tests allow shared CI machines time to cold-start PowerShell; controlled timeout tests still verify the unchanged production deadline.

Included features

• Target-specific quick tasks that fill the composer without replacing your draft or sending automatically.
• Drop one local file or folder onto the circle; Unicode, spaces and UNC paths are supported.
• Window and folder target previews, explicit per-target chat bindings, recent targets, optional screenshot previews, light/dark themes and click-again-to-collapse.
• English / Chinese website and documentation. The native Windows UI currently uses Chinese labels.

Install

Download codex-pointer-0.5.2-windows-x64.zip and extract the complete folder. In the extracted codex-pointer folder, run:

codex plugin marketplace add .
codex plugin add codex-pointer@codex-pointer-local

Reload plugins or restart Codex, then open Explore → Codex Pointer → Show button. Quit the old circle before opening this version. Requires Windows 10/11 x64 and an installed, signed-in Codex desktop client.

中文

修复首次拖入文件或文件夹时不必要的桌面组件初始化，减少冷启动耗时，避免部分 Windows 环境的识别超时。只有识别软件窗口时才加载资源管理器相关组件，三秒查询超时保护保持有效。测试也兼容 Windows 短路径与完整路径指向同一对象的情况。

本版包含快捷任务、文件拖入圆圈、按对象记住对话、目标预览和双语主页。推荐下载完整 ZIP；升级前先右键退出旧按钮。

This is an unsigned community preview, not an OpenAI product. Screenshots require opt-in. New-chat drafts require confirmation in Codex, and execution depends on that chat's tools and permissions. Verify downloads against SHA256SUMS.txt; licenses and notices are included in the ZIP.

Codex Pointer v0.5.0 · Windows Preview

Codex Pointer 0.5.0 — Windows preview

English documentation · 中文说明 · Website / 双语主页

What's new

• Target-specific quick tasks for windows, folders and files. Click to fill the composer; existing text is kept, duplicates are avoided, and sending remains an explicit action.
• Drop one local file or folder directly onto the circle. Unicode, spaces and UNC paths are supported; files are never moved or executed.
• Bounded path validation shares the warmed metadata helper. Unavailable network paths time out and old results cannot replace a new target.
• English / Chinese website and documentation.

Also includes target outlines, drag cancellation, explicit per-target chat bindings, recent targets, optional screenshot preview, light/dark themes, reduced motion, and click-again-to-collapse behavior.

Install

Download codex-pointer-0.5.0-windows-x64.zip, extract the complete folder, and run these commands inside the extracted codex-pointer folder:

codex plugin marketplace add .
codex plugin add codex-pointer@codex-pointer-local

Reload plugins or restart Codex. Open Explore → Codex Pointer, pin it, and choose Show button. The standalone EXE is also available for trying the picker. Quit the old circle before opening this version.

Windows 10/11 x64 and an installed, signed-in Codex desktop client are required. Native UI labels are currently Chinese. The website and documentation support both languages. This is an unsigned community preview, not an OpenAI product.

中文更新

• 窗口、文件夹、文件各有对应快捷任务：只填入内容，保留原稿，不自动发送。
• 将单个本地文件或文件夹拖入圆圈即可选中；支持中文、空格和 UNC 共享路径，不会移动或运行文件。
• 路径验证在后台完成并复用识别进程，网络失联有超时保护，旧查询不会覆盖新对象。
• 新增支持英中切换的主页和双语文档。

推荐下载完整 ZIP，解压后在 codex-pointer 目录运行上面的两条安装命令。刷新插件或重启 Codex，在“探索”中找到 Codex Pointer 并固定到侧边栏。升级前先右键退出旧圆圈。

Verification and limits

Release checks cover offline Qt interaction, quick-task draft protection, real file-drop events, cancellation races, owned temporary-file metadata lookup, helper timeout/reuse, frozen GUI rendering, ZIP integrity, and isolated native Codex plugin discovery. No real screen capture or model task is used in these checks.

Pointer brings context to a chat; execution depends on the tools and permissions available in that chat. New-chat drafts still require confirmation in Codex. Experimental direct sending depends on the local shared app-server. Real Explorer layouts, mixed-DPI desktops and full task execution need broader environment testing.
