Migration recovery backups no longer re-copy Folio-Backups (up to 21x bloat). bookChangedSince tracks visited dev:ino so a symlink loop in the book cannot wedge the main-process interval tick. Snapshot toggle check aligned to === false; drop dead home-shortening branch in Settings.
English spellcheck suggestions with Add-to-dictionary in the native context menu plus a Settings toggle. Typewriter caret-centering mode. OS file associations for .md/.txt and Open File wording. Updater: release URL surfaced, single progress listener, two-byte tarball check, installer wait guard. Search/installer test suites registered; chapter-list layout polish; ignore KDE .directory files.
Background autosave toggle plus whole-book snapshots (default <book>/Folio-Backups, configurable location, retention, interval) with a one-minute change check in the main process. New Settings modal (sidebar, Ctrl+, , File menu) exposes autosave, snapshots, folder picker, and Snapshot now.
Keyboard reorder (Alt+Up/Down) restores focus and scrolls the moved row into view so repeated moves keep working. Pointer drags autoscroll near the list edges and show drop position.
Markdown:
- File > Open Markdown File... and welcome-screen 'Open .md' import
one or more .md files as new books (named after first H1 or the
filename; originals never modified, collision-safe folder names).
- Book dirs and .md files passed on the command line or via desktop
file associations now open directly; single-instance lock forwards
second launches to the running window.
Updates:
- File > Check for Updates... and welcome-screen 'Update' button:
queries the Gitea releases API, one-click installs a newer release
into ~/.local/share/Folio via a detached swap script that waits for
app exit, keeps the old tree until the swap succeeds, and relaunches.
Download is gzip-verified and restricted to the trusted release host.
No root, no reinstall.
Tests: 19 new assertions in tests/run-update-import-test.mjs (wired
into npm test); full suite green, tsc clean.
- add autoExportDocx() in src/main/index.ts:590 to refresh full-book and per-chapter .docx on every save
- hook saveChapterDoc, saveChapter, create/rename/delete/duplicate/restore/reorder/setColor to auto-generate DOCX in book folder
- primary autosave remains native JSON (folio-doc) for fidelity, DOCX is derived export
- fixes duplicate title in God is Decentralized chapter (remove H2 duplicate, chrome title is canonical)
- Add 'Save As...' item to native File menu, right under Save
- New IPC event folio:save-as-requested routes through preload to renderer
- Wired in index.ts to call saveChapterAs with current chapter ID
- Add 'Save As' button next to Save in the chapter writing view
- Exports current chapter as Markdown to a user-chosen file location
- New IPC handler folio:saveChapterAs shows OS save dialog
- Set .folio-prose.ProseMirror line-height from 1.7 to 1.0 to fix
excessive spacing between paragraphs and blockquotes
- Add PDF/DOCX/ODT export dropdown to the chapter writing view header,
matching the Full Book view's export workflow
- Wire chapter export dropdown toggle, menu selection, and close-on-outside-click
- Show an Undo toast after deleting a book from Home; Undo restores the
folder from the system trash (XDG .trashinfo, URL-decoded path match).
- Chapter delete/cut now snapshots the chapter (title, color, content,
position) and offers Undo to restore it in place.
- Add reusable showUndoToast/hideUndoToast and #undoToast UI + styles;
expose restoreBook/restoreChapter over the preload bridge.
- Drop the now-redundant 'cannot be undone' confirm on chapter delete and
the inaccurate 'permanently removes' wording on book delete.
- Auto-select the first chapter when a book opens so the editor is no
longer left on the placeholder (was the main `all I see is the title`
symptom).
- Stop markdownToNative from emitting text nodes with empty content and
defensively strip them in setEditorDoc; ProseMirror rejects such nodes,
which made editor.commands.setContent silently empty the whole editor.
- Home screen: delete a book (sent to trash, recoverable) and create a new
book in a folder named after it under ~/Documents.
- Add self-test coverage for new book + delete.
- Configure AppImage (primary) + Debian .deb (secondary) into releases/.
- White Folio app icon, Office category, io.atitlan.folio appId, folio
executable; no file associations (none invented).
- Bundle tests/selftest-scenario.js so the packaged binary can be exercised
in place via FOLIO_SELF_TEST (inert during normal launches).
- Search: a 'Search' button in the sidebar footer (or Ctrl/Cmd+F) opens a
modal that scans every chapter, lists matches grouped by chapter with
highlighted snippets, and jumps to and scrolls the match on click. Includes
a 'Match case' toggle.
- Manual save: remove the per-keystroke auto-save; a chapter is only persisted
via the new Save button or Ctrl/Cmd+S. Switching chapters or closing the book
with unsaved edits now prompts to save first.
- Extend the packaged self-test to exercise both features.
- Recolor the in-app glyph (Design B) to a solid white master and generate a
black variant; the desktop/app icon set (build/icons) is now the white
master at all sizes (verified bundled white in the AppImage/deb)
- In-app icon switches with the existing data-theme: black in Light mode
(visible on the light panel) and white in Dark mode (visible on the
near-black panel); the desktop/application icon stays white
- Export menu (PDF/DOCX/ODT) opens a workflow to export the entire book or
only selected chapters, with a canonical-order checklist + Select/Clear All
- Selected exports pass an ordered chapter list through the shared pipeline so
output follows book order (not click order); empty selection is rejected
- Filenames use a ' - Selected Chapters' suffix for partial exports
- PDF renders only the chosen chapters into the print container; DOCX/ODT build
from the selected chapters in order
- buildDocx/buildOdt now accept an explicit ordered chapter list, making that
list the single source of truth for export ordering (defaults to whole book)
- Emit real page breaks between chapters in DOCX, with none before the first
- Unify the DOCX/ODT handlers into one exportOffice pipeline (ODT still built
from the same DOCX via LibreOffice)
- Persist an app-wide zoom percentage (not per book) and apply it only to the
writing view (.editor-panes) so the sidebar/navigation stay fixed size
- Add a [-] [100%] [+] control to the chapter and Full Book headers, with a
click-to-reset level button
- Route Ctrl/Cmd+=, Ctrl/Cmd+-, and Ctrl/Cmd+0 to zoom in/out/reset,
intercepting the browser's native zoom
- Store an optional accent color on each ChapterEntry so it persists with the
chapter across switching, reordering, close/reopen, and restart
- Add a per-row color button that opens a palette popover (assign / change /
remove) and shows a small color dot in the sidebar, readable in Light/Dark
- Expose setChapterColor through the main/preload IPC bridge
- Migrate renderer from md-editor/md-format to a Tiptap-based native editor
(native-doc pipeline: native-doc, markdown-to-native, native-to-markdown,
native-assembly, migration, backup)
- Use pointer-event-based chapter reordering with grab/grabbing cursors to
avoid the Wayland prohibited-drop cursor while preserving reordering
- Add a persistent Home button that closes the open book and returns to the
Folio library/welcome screen
- Update app icons, package deps, theme styles, and tests
Exports now use the same typography as the Full Book editor — Georgia
serif at 12pt, 1.7 line spacing, and a blank-line gap between paragraphs -
so the on-screen editor and every exported format look consistent. DOCX/
ODT also gain a chapter break before each chapter after the first.
Replaces the old Default theme (which followed the OS color scheme) with a
fixed warm, writing-focused Light theme: off-white editor surface, charcoal
text, subtle warm-gray borders, and a restrained deep teal-green accent. The
selector now offers Light and Neonflux. Old saves storing "default" are
migrated to "light" in both the renderer and the main process, and the e2e
scenario now covers Light + Neonflux application, light/dark checks, theme
round-trips, and content preservation.
The main process now assembles the manuscript from the chapter files and
renders it to a Word document with the docx library, using the same
markdown-it plugin set as the on-screen renderer (highlight, callouts,
wikilinks). ODT is converted from that DOCX with LibreOffice running
headless, keeping the two formats consistent; a clear error is returned
when LibreOffice is missing. The Full Book header's single Export PDF
button becomes an Export menu (PDF/DOCX/ODT) wired to the File menu.
Tests: new run-office-export-test.mjs verifies DOCX/ODT structure,
chapter order and formatting; the e2e scenario exports through the real
IPC chain and checks magic bytes, extensions and the status notices.
Introduce a theme layer on top of the existing CSS custom properties.
All color tokens now live in themes.css, scoped by a data-theme
attribute on <html>, so a theme is just a new token block plus a
dropdown option - no code changes needed. The Default theme preserves
the existing light/dark behavior; Neonflux adds an electric-cyan dark
theme.
The active theme is chosen via a Theme selector in the sidebar footer
and persisted in a new main-process settings file (userData
settings.json) through getTheme/setTheme IPC, so it survives restarts.
Hard-coded on-accent, selection, shadow and backdrop colors across the
renderer were converted to semantic tokens so every theme stays
consistent.
Add a chapter dropdown plus Previous/Next buttons to the Full Book
toolbar. The dropdown lists every chapter in canonical order and the
buttons jump between them, scrolling the assembled manuscript so the
target chapter begins near the top of the viewport. Manual scrolling
keeps the dropdown in sync with the chapter currently on screen, and
reordering chapters while Full Book is open re-renders navigation to
match the new order immediately.
Navigation reuses the same chapter boundaries that drive page breaks,
so it can never drift from the assembled chapter order.
The printed book is rendered from the same markdown the editor writes, but
markdown-it escaped HTML and did not understand Folio's extensions, so
underlines, text/highlight colors, alignments, ==highlights==, callouts and
wikilinks all showed up as raw source text in the PDF. Render the print book
with a purpose-built print-format renderer that keeps every feature:
- html: true so the toolbar's <u>, <span style=...> and <div align=...>
pass through and render instead of appearing literally,
- ==highlight== rendered as <mark> (new inline rule),
- Obsidian callouts (> [!note] Title) rendered as styled divs with a bold
title (new core rule),
- wikilinks resolved to links via the shared wikilink plugin.
Add matching print styles for mark, underline and callout types, and e2e
assertions that none of these features leak as raw source into #printBook.
The previous export printed the CodeMirror editor, which only keeps a
virtualized window of lines in the DOM; on larger books the PDF could come
out truncated (only what was rendered around the viewport). Replace the
print path with a dedicated #printBook container: the renderer renders each
chapter of the assembled manuscript to plain HTML with markdown-it, and the
print stylesheet hides the entire app and shows that container instead.
Plain HTML paginates reliably regardless of editor viewport or scroll
position, every chapter after the first still starts on its own page, and
output is a properly formatted manuscript instead of raw markdown. Keep the
screen-only chapter-break separator in the Full Book editor.
Extend the e2e selftest to assert #printBook holds every chapter, is hidden
on screen, and that a 1500-line chapter reaches the print DOM and exported
PDF in full.
Print the Full Book window via webContents.printToPDF (A4, 1in margins),
reusing the existing print stylesheet so every chapter after the first
starts on its own page and all app chrome is stripped from the output.
Expose it as an Export PDF button in the Full Book header and a File menu
item, save via a native save dialog (self-test writes to FOLIO_TEST_PDF),
and force light-on-white colors in print so dark-mode exports stay readable.
Add e2e coverage that exports through the real renderer->IPC->print chain
and verifies a valid non-empty PDF is written.
