✨ Key Features & Highlights

• ✂️ Cut Out strip tool:

  • A fine plus handle at the object center, with selection restored after Undo.

• 🗂️ Editor document tabs:

  • Extra captures open as tabs instead of replacing the current document.
  • Double-click empty tab-bar space to start a new canvas.

• 🌙 Quiet Hours:

  • Mute notification toasts during a chosen window so captures stay silent overnight.

• 😀 Emoji tool:

  • Selecting Emoji restores the last glyph and opens the drawer.
  • Click the canvas to stamp and close, or click the tool button again to tuck the picker away.
  • Scroll or [ ] to resize; hover chrome stays Pick-only so placement stays clean.

• 🔍 Fit / original zoom toggle:

  • One status-bar button switches between Fit to window and Original size, with larger icons.

• 🎨 Palette & banners:

  • Drawing tools always arm a palette color (cyan by default) so the first shape is never a shadow-only stroke.

  • Faster fade/slide banners that dismiss on hover.

• Active Monitor Support: Added Active monitor (where cursor is) option to display toast notifications dynamically on whichever screen currently holds the mouse cursor, rather than locking to a fixed monitor. Set as default for new installations.

What's Changed in v1.14.0

🔍 Search & Performance

What's Changed in v1.13.0

Article list

• Arrow Up/Down now moves between articles (including from the search box) instead of only scrolling the viewport.
• Article cards show the feed folder next to the timestamp.
• Linked images in the reader use a pointer cursor so they look clickable.

• Settings hint under “only fetch when not focused” explains that auto-fetch pauses while you read and resumes when minimized or in the tray.

Notifications

• Mute feeds from a toast, the sidebar, or Settings without pausing fetch.
• Visible stack now respects the max-stack setting; extra cards wait in queue.
• Bottom-left/right placement stays closer to the screen edge and is less likely to jump to mid-screen.

What's Changed in v1.12.0

🚀 Notification Batching & Lifecycle Synchronization

• Full Poll Cycle Synchronization: Notifications are now accumulated across the entire background feed fetching cycle, presenting a single consolidated batch once all feeds finish instead of triggering multiple fragmented popups.
• Concurrent Image Preloading: Remote article thumbnails within each incoming batch are preloaded in parallel prior to opening the notification window, eliminating staggered card jumps.
• Reduced Dimensions & Compact Layout: Streamlined notification window footprint with balanced width across languages.
• Smooth Card Dismissal Animation: Cards now exit with a lightweight, GPU-accelerated slide and fade-out animation, providing clear visual feedback upon dismissal, marking read, or viewing articles.
• Breathing Timer Pulse: Soft breathing animation on the active notification countdown indicator, automatically pausing when hovered.
• Opaque Control Buttons: Solid backgrounds for top notification actions to prevent blend-in with desktop wallpaper or background windows.
• In-App Article Viewing Control: Added an optional setting under Notifications ("Close notification window when viewing in app" / "Cerrar ventana de notificaciones al ver en la app", default false) allowing the rest of the batch to remain visible when opening an article in CyberFeeds.

🔄 Tray Icon & Polling Status Indicators

• Blinking LED Activity Indicator: The tray icon now displays a vibrant top-right cyan LED overlay and smoothly blinks during background feed fetching or notification batch preparation.
• Dynamic Tray Tooltip: Real-time tooltip updates during feed polling ("CyberFeeds v1.12.0 — Loading feeds..." / "CyberFeeds v1.12.0 — Cargando feeds..."), reverting to the app version when idle.

⚙️ Feed Synchronization & General Settings

• Startup Fetch & Configurable Delay: New toggle with preset delay options (0s, 5s, 10s, 15s, 30s, 1m, 2m, 5m) to control when the initial feed refresh occurs on application launch.
• Unfocused Polling (Default ON): Option to automatically skip scheduled background polling cycles while the application is active and focused, avoiding unexpected list disruptions while reading articles.
• Refined Settings Card Layout: Clean, organized card structure with right-aligned numeric inputs and well-spaced toggle rows.

📋 Article List Cards Refinement

• Fixed Right-Aligned Timestamps: Article publication times are now permanently pinned to the right edge ensuring clear visibility.
• Flexible Feed & Author Meta: Removed artificial width constraints on feed titles and author labels, allowing them to fluidly utilize available card width without premature truncation.

🚀 CyberPaste v1.17.0 — Bilingual Perfection & Crash-Free Compact ✨

A precision hotfix that completes the bilingual promise, powers up fresh installs, tames the compact sidebar, and finally respects your storage limit! 💎

---

🌍 Language — Full Coverage Fix 🗣️

• Tray & Toasts now fully bilingual: auto → navigator.language resolver + Rust sys-locale detection for welcome toast — Spanish stays Spanish! 🇪🇸
• Fixed selective English: TrayMenuWindow & ToastWindow now resolveLanguage() before i18n.changeLanguage, live settings-changed sync! ✨

⚡ Defaults ON — Paste Power 💥

• Auto-Paste ON by default: auto_paste: true + auto_inject_paste: true — fresh installs paste instantly with Ctrl+V injection! 🔋

🐛 Crash Fix — Sidebar Collapse 💥→✅

• React #300 crash gone: useFolderFlash(null) inside IIFE violated hooks order when collapsing. Moved to top-level isClipboardFlashing — toggle now silky smooth!

📐 Compact Sidebar — Empty Space Tamed 📦

• Slimmer: SIDEBAR_EXPANDED_W 160 → 148px + dashed placeholder No folders yet — drag clips to organize when folders.length===0 + compact_sidebar_collapsed: true by default — more room for clips!

💎 Demo & Fresh Install — Unified 6-Clips 🖼️

• Fixed Broken Image: Fresh DB image was truncated 1×1 placeholder → now valid 400×240 PNG (3KB) with {"size_bytes":196608,"width":400,"height":240} fantasy metadata — no more broken icon! ✅

• Button: Load 20 demo clips → Load sample clips / Cargar clips de ejemplo + all locales 🌐
• Confirmation: ConfirmDialog explains temporarily shows 6 examples, real clips NOT deleted, return on restart/restore!

🗄️ Storage — Image Limit Respected 🧹

• Fixed 5500-image bloat: prune_history now deletes clip_images rows + on-disk files + orphan cleanup (soft-deleted + dangling images/ files) — max_items: 400 now truly caps at 400!
• Auto-prune: Runs on save_settings(max_items) and on startup (1.8s delay) — existing 5422 PNGs will trim to ~400 on next launch or limit change!

🙏 README Footer — Thanks for using CyberPaste! 🎉

Full changelog: [\1.12.1...v1.13.0](https://github.com/CyberGems/CyberViewer/compare/v1.12.1...v1.13.0)

Silent in-app updates

Installing an update from About no longer opens the NSIS Next/Next wizard. The Setup runs silently (/S), then CyberViewer relaunches.

The first-time installer still shows the full UI (install folder and default-viewer option).

Note: This build still uses the v1.12.0 updater, so v1.12.0 → v1.12.1 may show the wizard one last time. Later updates from v1.12.1 onward are silent.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/CyberGems/CyberViewer/compare/v1.12.0...v1.12.1

Highlights

• Settings backup: Export and import preferences and favorites as JSON from System settings. Recent files and folders are left unchanged.
• Tray toggle hotkey: The default global shortcut is Alt+Shift+V, shown next to Show/Hide in the tray menu. Clearing it stays disabled.
• Smoother folder browsing: Folder thumbnail scanning pauses briefly when you move between images, so navigation stays responsive.
• Menu flyouts: Burger and context submenus fade and slide in instead of popping open.
• App icon: Refined official icon for the window, tray, installer, and About dialog. The About logo is a bit larger, with a clearer cyan glow.

Also in this release

• Close vs Exit: with Close to Tray on, the window action is Close; otherwise it is Exit.
• Radar tooltip clarifies that the scan is creating sidebar folder thumbnails.
• Title-bar logo glow removed so it does not compete with the rest of the chrome.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/CyberGems/CyberViewer/compare/v1.11.0...v1.11.1

CyberViewer v1.11.0

This release introduces new features, UI customization enhancements, contextual menu cleanup, and layout styling improvements.

🚀 Features & Enhancements

• Dedicated Slideshow Controls: Added a new dedicated Slideshow menu and a specialized context menu when in presentation mode.
• Double-Click Customization: Users can now configure what action double-clicking performs on an image or empty canvas (e.g. toggle zoom, fullscreen, fit-to-screen, or none) directly from the Settings Panel.
• Improved Empty Canvas Interaction: Double-clicking on an empty canvas now opens the image selection dialog directly.

🎨 UI & Layout Polish

• Glyph Icon Styling: Styled glyph icons inside dropdown menus and modal headers.
• Clean Context Menus: Flattened the File menu options and removed redundant Edit options from the canvas context menu. Reordered options for a more intuitive layout.
• Fullscreen improvements: The action bar is now automatically hidden when navigating in fullscreen mode.
• Burger Menu updates: Renamed "Show in Explorer" to "Open containing folder" for clarity.
• Footer styling: Footer icons now correctly respect active tint.
• Full Changelog: https://github.com/CyberGems/CyberViewer/compare/v1.10.0...v1.11.0

Release Notes (v1.10.0) This release introduces configuration UI improvements, context menu polishing, action bar styling updates, and installer fixes.

⚙️ Configuration & Features Tabbed Settings Panel: Redesigned the configuration window into a clean tabbed layout with automatic settings auto-saving. Multiple Instances Support: Added a new setting to toggle between allowing multiple instances of the app or keeping a single instance. Filename Banner Toggle: Added a configuration option to toggle the visibility of the filename banner.

🎨 UI & UX Polish Action Bar Enhancements: Styled the action bar with a solid dark background to clearly differentiate it from the image canvas, and added a top divider matching the title bar thickness. Dismissible Top-bar Hints: Added a close (X) button to the top-bar hints with a descriptive tooltip explaining how to reactivate them from settings, preventing overlap with the filename banner. Banner Collision Prevention: Automatically hide the filename banner while active toast notifications are displayed to avoid overlapping. Tray Menu Alignment: Updated the "Exit" menu item icon in the system tray to align with the burger menu's shutdown icon.

🖱️ Context Menus Polished Context Menus: Added rich icons to context menus (image canvas, thumbnail strip, and burger menu). New Options: Introduced new canvas menu options, including Add to Favorites, Copy File Path, and Properties. Menu Usability: Removed the "Exit" option from the thumbnail context menu and refined menu close behaviors on rotation/window focus changes.

📦 Build & Installer Multilingual Installer: Fully localized the custom file associations page in the NSIS installer for both English and Spanish. Compiler Fixes: Resolved compilation warnings/errors during GitHub Actions builds by defining explicit numeric language tables and adjusting warning-as-error strictness.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/CyberGems/CyberViewer/compare/v1.9.0...v1.10.0

Release Notes - v1.8.1

• Tray Menu Stability: Fixed the Windows tray crash on right-click / hover / close by using the native context menu and running Show, Hide, Settings, About, and Quit only after the menu has closed.

• Idle CPU: Cut tray idle CPU by throttling Chromium while the window is hidden, pausing clocks and monitors when the UI is not visible, and dropping work that kept the renderer awake in the background.
• App Icon: Refreshed the application icon and all public size variants used by the window, installer, and in-app logo.
• In-app Logo: Removed the extra framed box around the logo in the main UI and About, and applied a subtle cyan glow instead.
• Taskbar: Replaced the duplicate logo at the bottom-left of the taskbar with a + control to add a new shortcut directly to the bar.

Release Notes - v1.7.0

• CPU Optimizations: Significantly reduced idle CPU usage to ~0% by caching display queries and changing the active UAC guard detection to run on-demand (only when a hotspot corner is triggered).
• Tray Exit Icon: Synced the tray's exit option icon with CyberViewer's SVG quit symbol and configured it with the #e8796a color theme.
• App Icon Update: Updated the main application icon and all size variants (icon.ico, icon.png, icon-16.png, icon-24.png, icon-32.png, icon-256.png) across the project.
