More rich text formatting options

Have you ever got a nice response in Chat, then saved it as a snippet and discovered all the pretty formatting has been lost? Yeah, we, too - too many times.

With today's update we added proper support for lists (numbered and bullets), headings (H1 to H3) and other formatting options to (almost) all text editors:

codex descriptions and notes
manuscript/write view
your chat questions/messages
snippets

Take note that the Word export does not support all the features yet (we're still working on those)

AI / Prompting

For people who want to spend a monthly price, instead of credits, we now added native support for Featherless AI and Infermatic. They mainly host NSFW-friendly models, so these are a good alternative if you're writing romance stories.

Added native connection to Featherless AI
Added native connection to Infermatic
Added hostname/IP/HTTPs options to LM Studio integration. This should help when you're connecting via the network
We're now filtering out any voice or image models from Open AI, as we don't support those within Novelcrafter
Fixed context calculations for Gemini models (OpenRouter changed their calculations, so using these models should be cheaper now)
Changed the Cohere Command-R+ models on system prompts to use the older April version. Internal testing has shown that it's a bit more creative than the August version.
Added a "copy" button next to prompt messages for easy access

Chat

We also added a setting to change chat message flow for threads: You can either have messages start at the top, or bottom, which should help with when you want to read the answer as soon as it comes in, without having to wait until it stops scrolling.

Furthermore, the extraction feature now supports tags/labels as well, if you add them via square brackets to the name, like the following format:

First name "Alias" Last name [Tag A, Tag B]

Other changes

Added an option to also clone snippets when using a novel as a template
The appearances tab in the codex will now show better titles for chat (unnamed threads will use the first message as fallback, just how the sidebar does it)
You can now upload a novel cover from your clipboard as well
