Drafts 24 Released

Drafts 24 macOS Release Notes

What’s New

Ready for Big Sur and the latest Macs

Updated for macOS 11 Big Sur and the latest Mac hardware (Yes, that includes Apple Silicon).

HTML Previews can now reference local assets

Both HTML Preview action steps, and Preview windows can now generate HTML that includes references to images, javascript, stylesheets, or other assets via relative paths. To use, create a folder at iCloud Drive/Drafts/Library/Previews, and place images, stylesheets, and other resources in this folder and its subfolders. HTML previews can reference those assets via relative paths, e.g. <img src="image.jpg">. If the /Library/Previews does not exist, previews will continue to function as they always have. If it does exist, the HTML will be written to a temporary file in that directory and loaded so that the directory can be used to access other assets. More details in the Previews documentation

Other Updates

  • New: Add “Move…” and “Copy…” commands to action list contextual menu.
  • Fix: When an action was run from search, it did not respect the default “After Success” setting of its action group.
  • Fix: Wiki-style title links starting with escaped forward slashes failed to find proper draft.
  • New: “Purge Transactions” maintanance task in Preferences > iCloud. Not generally necessary, but this task cleans out sync transaction log entries which have been processed, which may improve performance (not much, if any) in long-lived installation.
  • Fix: Appearrance issue with filter sidebar background.
  • Change: Simplify app icon badge settings and make sure the default correctly align with default workspace settings.
  • Change: File > Export in main menu now has CSV/JSON options that previously were only available in context menu of draft list.
