Astro Editor v1.0.5

Search & Sort — Filter your files with the new search bar. Click the filter icon next to any collection to search by filename and customize sorting. Choose from multiple sort options (date, title, filename, etc.) based on your collection's frontmatter fields, with ascending/descending toggle.

Remember Window Layout — Astro Editor now remembers your window size and sidebar positions between sessions. Open the app and pick up right where you left off.

Collection Schema Warnings — Collections without a defined schema now show a warning indicator, making it easier to spot configuration issues.

Windows Improvements

• Fixed title bar buttons not responding to clicks
• Added Windows menu (hamburger icon in the title bar)
• Square corners when maximized/fullscreen (matching Windows conventions)
• New keyboard shortcuts for Windows users

Bug Fixes

• Sorting improvements - Files without dates now sort alphabetically by title. Files with the same date use an alphabetical tiebreaker, eliminating the previously unpredictable ordering.
• Draft filtering fix - Fixed an issue where files could incorrectly appear in the Drafts filter.

Astro Editor v1.0.2

Typewriter mode removed (for now)

A buggy implementation of "typewriter mode" was completely removed. This was a very old feature which was only available via the command palette, and which kept the current line vertically entered in the editor window. It did not work reliably or performantly, and was prone to causing weird UI behaviour when switched on. I will eventually reimplement this in a more considered way in a future release.

Bugfixes

• Scrollbars are properly rendered in dark mode.
• Frontmatter fields which are nullish() properly preserve their types when being written to YAML.
• Frontmatter is not written to disk unless it has been changed in the frontmatter panel by the user. Just opening (or editing the content) of a file will no longer rewrite your frontmatter.
• Lots of under-the-hood improvements.

Installation Instructions

• macOS: Download the .dmg file (Universal - works on both Intel and Apple Silicon) and drag Astro Editor to the Applications folder.
