Linelark Notepad Studio
What shipped in 1.1.1.
Upgrading from 1.0 no longer empties the editor
- 1.0 and 1.1 were published under different bundle identifiers, so macOS filed their settings as two unrelated applications and 1.1 could not see anything 1.0 had written.
- An upgrade therefore looked like a factory reset — no open tabs, no folder, default settings — while the previous session sat intact but unreachable on disk.
- 1.1.1 adopts those older settings the first time it starts. Tabs, panes, the open folder, themes, and plugin permissions all come back.
Unsaved tabs survive an upgrade
- Backups of unsaved tabs live in one folder shared by every version, while the record naming them is stored per version. A 1.1 that found no session therefore read every backup as abandoned and deleted it.
- Backups are now retired for fourteen days instead of deleted, and a session that asks for a retired one gets it back.
- A window that has not restored its session yet no longer writes over that session or drops the backups belonging to it.
If 1.1 already emptied your editor
- Install the current release and open it once. The 1.0 session it could not previously see is adopted on that first launch.
- Text from a tab that was never saved to a file, and that 1.1 had already discarded, cannot be brought back by this update.
- Files on disk were never at risk. A backup is not a save, and no version of Linelark wrote to your files here.
