Slip Switch Changelog

Release notes for Slip Switch, newest first.

Latest release
1.5.0 — May 6, 2026

[Unreleased]

Changed

  • Keyboard settings now split the former “Global” section into “System” (for the system-wide Open last track shortcut) and “Application” (for Close window and Quit application).

[1.5.0] - 2026-05-06

Added

  • “Reset App Data…” menu item in the Help menu. Clears app preferences and moves the data directory aside as a timestamped backup folder (or unlinks from a custom data directory without touching it), then restarts the app.

[1.4.0] - 2026-05-05

Added

  • File links to files missing on disk are now visually flagged in the editor with a warning icon and wavy underline.
  • Setting to confirm manual file cleanup with a dialog before running.

Changed

  • File cleanup now uses a grace period to avoid removing recently-touched files when the periodic cleanup option is enabled.

Fixed

  • Fixed a bug where Slip Switch would incorrectly conclude files with spaces and other certain characters in their names were orphaned and clean them up
  • Hard breaks (Shift+Enter) inside list items now serialize with proper indentation, so continuation lines stay within the list item on reload.
  • Track loads now retry on transient filesystem errors (antivirus scans, cloud-sync clients, brief OS locks) instead of failing immediately.
  • Popup error boundary auto-recovers when switching tracks after a load failure, so a window reload is no longer required to see another track.
  • A missing notes file now surfaces as a load error rather than silently rendering a blank editor.
  • Archiving a track with a missing or unreadable notes file no longer aborts the archive. The track is still removed, and the user is notified that the archive will not be restorable.

Changed

[1.3.1] - 2026-04-30

Added

Fixed

  • Modals fade in with less jank.
  • Window now scrolls to radio buttons, checkboxes, and toggles when focused.
  • Archiving the active track happens more quickly now and doesn’t break keyboard focusability for the remaining tracks.
