# Notcher Changelog ## Version 1.6 ### Notcher Bridge - Added Bridge for sharing files between your devices signed into the same Notcher account. - Choose files or drag and drop them into Bridge, then select **Send**. The file list updates automatically on your other devices; download files when you need them. - Added background transfers, retry for failed sends, and cancellation for queued or active sends. - Added support for files up to 50 MB each, with a 100 MB account upload quota check and a usage indicator such as **0/100 MB (0%)**. - Added **Delete** and **Clear all files**, with confirmation before removing cloud copies. Existing local copies remain untouched. - Added **Download all files**, with folder selection and separate names for files that would otherwise overwrite an existing file. - Drag a file over closed Notcher and hold briefly to open Bridge for a quick drop. Notcher stays open during file selection and while files remain selected. - Updated the upload area, enlarged the Bridge navigation icon, refined the split-action button, and added a minimal horizontal scrollbar. - Added a delete confirmation popup aligned just below Notcher, matching its width with a small gap and a soft dissolve animation. ### Hotkeys - Added a **Hotkeys** reference in Settings. - **Alt+Space** opens Notcher and keeps it open until you press it again or click outside. - **Ctrl+N** creates a task or note from its list when you are not editing text. - While Notcher is pinned open: **Ctrl+P** opens Apps, **Ctrl+D** opens Bridge, and **Ctrl+O** opens Bridge's file picker. - When Notcher is closed or Hidden: **Alt+1**, **Alt+2**, and **Alt+3** open File Converter, PDF Merger, and PDF Split. Number shortcuts follow the Apps list order. - **Alt+Right/Left** skip tracks while music is playing; **Alt+P** plays or pauses; **Alt+M** opens the playing source and tries to select its browser tab. - **Alt+Up/Down** change Windows volume by 1% per step and repeat while held. Volume shortcuts also trigger the Windows volume popup. - Added **Use hotkeys**, enabled by default, so you can disable Notcher shortcuts when they conflict with another app. - Added **Disable hotkeys while another app is fullscreen**, enabled by default, to temporarily release global shortcuts during fullscreen use. ### Music - Added a compact volume icon and slider beside Next, while keeping Previous, Play/Pause, and Next centered. - Click the artwork or song title to open the music source, including when playback is paused. - Improved fallback artwork when a song has no cover or the browser supplies its own logo. - Added an animated playing indicator that stops when playback is paused. - Made the song progress bar thinner at rest and larger while dragging. - Added a brief Music preview after Next/Previous. It waits for the new track to be ready before starting its display time, then returns to your previous view. Click the preview to keep Music open. ### Appearance & interaction - Notcher now starts in Hidden mode with a solid black indicator. Enable **Completely invisible** in Settings if you prefer no visible indicator. - Added smoother mouse-wheel scrolling throughout Notcher, including horizontal file browsing and note editing. - Added consistent hand cursors for clickable controls. - Smoothed and shortened closing animations, removing a source of brief window flicker. - Icons and text now grow with the frame when opening from Hidden. Changes between open views keep their normal layout. - Improved tool-window sizing and shortcut navigation to prevent stuck transitions. ## Version 1.5 ### Accounts & synchronization - Added account creation, login, and logout from Settings. - Added a compact Login and Sign Up view within Settings, with account status and helpful error messages. - Added encrypted sign-in session storage to keep your account signed in between app launches. - Added manual synchronization for Tasks and Notes across devices using the same account.
