Kotatogram Changelog

What's new in Kotatogram 1.4.9 Beta

Jul 12, 2022
  • Changes:
  • Internal rework of Kotatogram Settings. This change that user won't notice allows to easier adding of new settings. I've even wrote a small developer reference: https://github.com/kotatogram/kotatogram-desktop/wiki/Kotatogram-Settings:-Quick-developer-reference
  • Restart to save settings now can be delayed. You don't need to restart the app for ten times anymore: you can set up everything you need and restart after that.
  • Select time when jumping to date in chat. Feature will be handy for chats that have so many messages per day that scrolling them from the start of the day is too long. Deleting chat history for selected days hasn't gone anywhere: choose "three dots" button in time and date select window, and then "Show calendar".
  • Experimental settings from Telegram Desktop now are always shown. Recently Telegram Desktop implemented its own experimental settings, that can be found in Settings > Advanced. But sadly, in TDesktop they're shown only when autoupdate and beta versions enabled. Also it strips experimental settings away in builds without autoupdater. Kotatogram shows them always. Bonus: I've added an ability to translate them to different languages.
  • Name icon colors are now same as name colors. I didn't like the idea of duplicating icons 8 times, and honestly, I still don't like it, But looking at how icons in 1.4.8 work, I've thought that visual part is more important. Nevertheless, since every one of them has separate color, nobody will stop you from making them same color.
  • Fixed profile picture cropping in native Windows notifications. Sadly, native Windows notifications support only circle/square, but at least they're applied correctly.
  • "Emoji panel by hover" option replaced by default one. Since experimental settings have own version of this option, I've decided to remove my own. Instead of it I've added two new options that allow to tune emoji panel more granulary: "Enable emoji sidebar" and "Emoji sidebar on right click".
  • "Show profile" as first menu item option. After context menus update "Show profile" item was removed. At first I've restored it, moving it to the top, but later Telegram Desktop made its own option to return it. But since "Show profile" as first menu item may be more convenient, I've decided to make it as setting.
  • Changes by @the-blank-x:
  • A lot of changes have been brought by @the-blank-x. Among them:
  • Go to chat on Shift+Enter in Forward window. Telegram Desktop, and subsequently, Kotatogram frequently lacks keyboard controls or hotkeys. So now Kotatogram has one more.
  • Warning when forwarding quiz unquoted. Since unquoted forward doesn't work on quizzes that have no votes, now there's a message shown about it.
  • "Copy callback data" menu item now shown on callback buttons only.
  • Fixed useless message author name trimming when it has an icon.
  • Fixed tg://user?id links for 64-bit IDs.
  • Fixed useless "Mention user" menu item for channels.
  • Fixed profile picture rounding in invite link window and calls window.
  • Fixed filters in folders by administrator rights.
  • New icon for macOS:
  • For macOS version gershik drawn new icon in Big Sur style. I hope it will work correctly.

New in Kotatogram 1.4.8 (Jul 12, 2022)

  • Changes:
  • Better font settings. Thanks to the @ilya-fedin's work, there is now a full list of fonts after an each font name field, and also there is a slider to change font size. Earlier font size could be changed only through JSON settings. I've only added a "+" before non-negative numbers to give you a hint that font size is relative.
  • Fixes:
  • Fixed severe crash in Saved Messages..
  • Fixed non-clickable part of message author name if there an icon near it.
