JJW24-v1.43.20

Release Notes

Features

1. Auto update to the latest JJW24-Wox version:

   • Set Wox to update automatically from Settings menu
   • Manually check for updates using query or from the Settings About tab as usual
     

2. Recover from failed plugin initialisation, continue to start Wox and notify user of the failed plugins. Especially handy when you just downloaded new plugins.

3. A little tweak internally to help Wox properly handle and manage disabled plugins

Please note:

• In order to use the new update feature, you need to use this release. Previous releases will not update to this version.

• Versioning of this branch's Wox is now simplified going forward, the upstream Wox versioning(v1.3.524) will no longer be displayed/tracked as no further development is made. This branch will use the following format: Breaking.Feature.Fix

• After the update, it is expected in the Wox's folder that two versions (latest and your previously installed version ) are kept. If you are using portable mode, your user data will be copied across to the new verison folder.

3. Updated Image Loader so Wox takes up less memory.

4. Folder plugin updates:

   • Sorting by placing folder before files, like Windows Explorer, and then order folder and files separately ascending by title. This order will likely change slightly due to sorting that happen later by giving preference to results that match user selection history.
