Performance updates
This update contains a
ton of performance updates
that reduce the number of updates the app does as you work. Editing codex entries should now be smoother/faster, as well as using AI actions should now be a lot faster as well (less choppy/lagging).Manuscript scene hopping
While you were able to say "remember where I left off", that only applied to the exact scene and position, but not how your write view looked like. So going back to it, you always ended up back with "everything". This was annoying. So we fixed it.
You can now always go back to exactly where you left your manuscript, which should help a lot with larger projects.
AI interactions revamp
As some of the performance issues stemmed from the AI interactions, this aspect has been updated and visually overhauled, which in turn made a couple goodies possible!
- You can now undo/redo any AI text replacements! This also means that if you hit "retry", you can now go back to a previous generation in case you liked that one better.
- You can now see your generated word count. This will only show the generated words, so if you you start to cut and edit the text down, this won't update.
- There's a new button to stop your generation. You could already do this by hitting "Apply" pre-maturely, but that also... applied the text. So this new "Stop" button gives you a bit more choice and clarity.
- Another new button to put your generated text into a section. By default, this uses the model name that generated the text as its title.
And yes, this update also fixes the issue of the apply/retry/discard buttons being stuck or keep floating around. That was indeed quite annoying.
Other Updates
- When opening just a specific scene in the manuscript, the manuscript switch menu will now show which chapter you're currently in (the relevant chapter will have a little dot next to it)
- The listing for models on OpenRouter will now retry intelligently, if there was an issue grabbing the data
- Fixed a couple issues when a prompt function does not receive a required argument
- Other various fixes and improvements
