Release v.1.8.4

The long awaited new features. Batch 01.

Redesigned Save Menu

  • Checkbox-select which tabs to save
  • All saving functions: Save(&close), Save as…, Move to…, Copy to…
  • All organisational functions: Rename, Tag, Favourite, Sort, Search
  • Fully accessible with Tabulator key
  • Keyboard shortcuts for all functions

Introducing 2 new User Interface modes

Index Tab (default) New Tab Toolbar only
Position Inserts itself as the first pinned tab in every window Inserts itself as the New Tab page Enhances the Save Menu pop-up with core Tablerone features
Shortcut Focused with Cmd+1 Opened with Cmd+T Opened with Cmd+Shift+.
Presence Always visible Visible only when open Visible only when open
Best for Most users. Optimised for point-and-click usage. It helps with window management and adopting the habit of saving entire sessions instead of individual links. Users proficient with browser shortcuts. Using it feels a bit like the Portal video game where you open a wormhole to go some place else, which closes itself after you walk through. Users who want minimal changes to their existing workflow. It helps with window management and supports all Save Menu shortcuts.

Emojis

Sessions can now be branded with system emojis, or favicons from the session.

Bug-fixes & Improvements

  • Fixed the bug where the Index Tab didn’t insert itself when dragging a tab out to create a new session
  • Improved behaviour; clicking a link in other apps now opens it in a new session automatically
  • Improved behaviour; all tabs in Save Menu are unselected by default if you turn off “Close tabs after saving” checkbox
  • Disabled Speedy Loading feature by default (no effect on existing installations)
  • Sunsetted the recurring donation prompt notification
  • Polished UI and visual quirks
  • Significant under the hood improvements (service worker as source of truth architecture, Zustand state management, automated tests, etc.)
