QuickRef - Release Notes

  • Feature: Open Library Folder - added an option on the libraries view to open the source folder of a library
  • Fix: Update status messages should now be translated properly
  • Fix: Minor performance optimization
  • Feature: Copy Image - Added a menu option to copy the currently displayed image in the session player view, allowing the user to paste into their preferred graphics software.
  • Bug Fix: Fixed an issue where the libraries view would randomly sort incorrectly. It should now always be alphabetical.

This update has been in progress since before Christmas, but it's finally ready to share! The most exciting changes include MacOS support and a newly added auto-updater! This build of QuickRef involved a nearly complete rewrite of the back-end of the app; switching to a new development framework in order to decrease the size of the app. This rewrite also made it easier to support MacOS and implement the updater! Read below for specific changes:

  • QuickRef is now available for MacOS!
  • QuickRef now has a built in auto-updater! This should be the last manual update you have to download!
    • After this version QuickRef will let you know whenever a new update is available and will be able to automatically download it.
  • Massive decrease in overall install size!
    • On Windows QuickRef is down from almost 330MB installed to just 16MB installed! That's roughly 5% of its original size!
  • Improvements to media loading. QuickRef should now handle very large folders of images better.
  • Added a saving indicator when saving or editing libraries.

The following changes have been made in this update:

  • Fixed misaligned delete icons when libraries have long name text
  • Added a new settings panel for controlling application settings.
    • This replaces the old preferences dialog.
  • Added an optional progress bar to the session player view
    • The progress bar will visually display how much time is left on the countdown at the bottom of the window
    • Enabled from the settings panel
  • Added options for a chime sound to play at the beginning, middle, or end of each interval
    • Volume of the chime can also be controlled
  • Added sliders to change the opacity of the toolbars during a session
    • The toolbar background can be configured separately from the text and buttons
    • The toolbars will still become fully opaque when hovered over.
  • It is now possible to sensibly edit a library's name and folder path without having to delete it
    • No support for regenerating thumbnails at this time. If you want to regenerate the preview image you will need to delete the library and re-create it.

This is the initial release version of QuickRef. The app is stable enough for general use, but is still considered to be in beta.
