Linelark Notepad Studio
What shipped in 1.6.2.
New files and folders from the sidebar
- A folder’s context menu now opens with New File… and New Folder…, so a new file starts in the project instead of in the Finder and back again.
- Both work in a workspace root as well as in the folders inside it. A new file opens in a tab straight away, and the extension you type is what picks its language.
The terminal exports $LINELARK_FILE
- The variable each shell is given was spelled $Linelark_FILE, which is not the name the documentation gives. Shell variables are case-sensitive, so anything looking for the documented name found nothing at all.
- A Claude Code hook installed by an earlier version reads that old name, so it would quietly stop telling Claude which file is open. Linelark repairs its own hook when it starts, and leaves the rest of your Claude configuration alone.
Known limits
- A hook you have edited yourself is left untouched, since Linelark only repairs the file exactly as it wrote it. Terminal ▸ Set Up Claude Code Integration… rewrites it if you would rather it did.
- Any shell configuration or script of your own that reads $Linelark_FILE needs updating to $LINELARK_FILE.
- Code folding and recorded macros remain roadmap items with no promised date.
