Version History — Inkolio

v0.8.3 Aug 2026

This update makes vaults and folders easier to recover, gives the File Tree real folder tools, improves Canvas grouping, and smooths out a handful of drawing, startup, and note-list details.

Vault recovery

Inkolio now handles older saved vaults more gracefully on macOS. If a vault needs renewed access, the app asks you to re-authorize it once instead of repeatedly prompting for folder permission.
Locate Vault, Rescan, and Re-authorize make it easier to reconnect a vault that was renamed, moved, or temporarily unavailable through cloud storage.
Reconnecting a vault now keeps the original vault identity, so you do not end up with duplicate vault entries after recovery.
On startup, Inkolio waits for macOS folder access to finish restoring before scanning linked vault folders, while still showing your In-app Notes right away.

Folders in the File Tree

You can now right-click folders to create child folders, or right-click the Vaults header to create a folder at the root of a linked vault.
Folders can be moved by dragging them between In-app Notes, nested folders, and linked vaults. Inkolio handles nested contents and same-name conflicts with rename-or-merge options.
Deleting a folder is recoverable: the folder and its notes move to Inkolio Trash first. You can restore them later or remove the physical folder through the system Trash.
New notes default to In-app Notes, newly created folders stay selected in context, folder rows have drag handles, and empty folders remain visible.
The File Tree now puts Recent and Favorites before In-app Notes and Vaults for quicker access.

Canvas and Drawing

Canvas now supports right-click Group Selection. Select multiple items, name the group, and Inkolio creates a fitted group around them.
Adding selected items to an existing Canvas group now moves them into the group and resizes the frame automatically.
Canvas connector handles stay comfortably clickable while zooming, instead of shrinking too far as the canvas scale changes.
Excalidraw drawings now render properly in Reading view instead of showing raw JSON or covering the drawing with a read-only notice.
Right-click Copy to clipboard as PNG and Copy to clipboard as SVG now work in packaged macOS builds.

Cleaner note organization

Moving App Notes into a vault now removes the original App Notes copy after the vault copy succeeds, so moved notes do not reappear in the old location.
Collapsed note groups and expanded Burst History cards are remembered after relaunch, including in Actions views for Tasks, Links, and Mentions.
The Markdown document filter is now simply called Notes wherever it appears.
The manual was updated with the new folder tools, vault recovery options, Excalidraw clipboard actions, Reading view behavior, and saved panel states.

v0.8.2 Aug 2026

This release focuses on making Canvas, Drawing, and packaged Mac builds feel steadier: cleaner file handling, fewer layout surprises, and more reliable TestFlight and Mac App Store behavior.

Canvas and Drawing files

New Canvas and Excalidraw notes keep the correct file type when renamed, so they reopen as visual documents instead of plain Markdown.
Inkolio now ignores startup-only editor events on new Canvas and Drawing notes, preventing accidental early autosaves before you make a real change.
Renamed Canvas and Drawing notes no longer split into duplicate fallback entries during background folder scans.
Canvas and Drawing notes show clean Canvas or Drawing labels in the note list instead of raw JSON previews.

Canvas layout and selection

Dragging to select items on a Canvas no longer highlights note text unless that note is actively being edited.
Tidy keeps your row structure and makes small spacing improvements instead of flattening a multi-row canvas into one long line.
Auto Layout, Organize Canvas, and Pack Canvas now preserve visual rows when notes inside groups expand or collapse.

Editor and Mac build polish

Split view scrolling is smoother, with no sideways flicker from the Details drawer while you scroll vertically.
Collapsible <details> sections round-trip more reliably between Rich editor and Markdown/source mode.
The Help/manual pane no longer crashes on startup because of embedded Markdown code spans.
Canvas and Excalidraw documents open correctly in packaged Mac App Store and TestFlight builds.
Image drag-and-drop and selected-note deletion are more reliable in packaged macOS builds.
The website gained a public Getting Started page before Documentation in the navigation.

v0.8.1 Jul 2026

This update gives you more precise display controls, fixes article filtering, and refreshes the public homepage.

Tab titles and Left toolbar labels now have separate font-size controls in Settings.
The editor's 3-dot menu now follows your Dropdown menus text-size setting.
The Article filter now works independently, including in Recents, so captured articles can be shown or hidden exactly as expected.
The homepage received a new animated pass with scroll-driven screenshot reveals and masked text motion.
The manual was updated with the new display controls and corrected Notes/Article filter behavior.
