Actions v0.7.27-beta Latest

Latest

What's New in v0.7.27-beta

[0.7.27-beta] - 2026-03-13

Added

Script arguments - Script-type actions can now receive CLI arguments via a new "Script Arguments" field. Use ${{var_name}} placeholders for variable substitution. Arguments are split respecting quotes and passed directly to the script interpreter (e.g., python3 script.py --server=${{host}} --port=${{port}}). Variables, presets, global variable imports, and auto-run variables all work for scripts just like terminal commands.
Login shell for scripts - Script-type actions now support the "Use login shell" option (previously terminal-only). When enabled, scripts run inside a login shell that sources your profile (~/.zprofile, ~/.bash_profile, etc.), making tools installed via pyenv, nvm, rbenv, conda, and custom PATH entries available to your scripts. Includes the shell selector dropdown to choose between installed shells.

Fixed

Documentation: Variable syntax - Fixed user docs showing {{var}} instead of the correct ${{var}} syntax throughout variables.md and related pages
Documentation: Missing Shortcut type - Added Apple Shortcuts action type to action-types.md (was completely undocumented)
Documentation: Action types page - Fixed incorrect terminal options (listed "Run as admin" which is script-only), added script options (arguments, login shell, admin, variables)
Documentation: Settings data location - Fixed env variables filename from env-encrypted.json to env-variables.enc
Documentation: Missing features - Added Data tab (import/export), "Show output on error", "Run in login shell for scripts" to relevant help pages
Governance: ARCHITECTURE.md - Updated Action schema (variables/shell options now terminal+script), added scriptArgs and showOutputOnError fields, fixed runScript signature, removed deleted useModalAPI.js from directory tree
Governance: CLAUDE.md - Updated gotcha #9 to note login shell applies to scripts, updated utils.js description

Fixed

Security: Path traversal in help window - help:get-page-content IPC handler now validates that resolved file paths stay within the docs directory, blocking ../ traversal attempts
Security: innerHTML XSS in help window - Replaced innerHTML with textContent/DOM API for error messages and nav section titles to prevent XSS from untrusted content
Security: SVG path injection in popout window - Replaced innerHTML SVG construction with document.createElementNS to prevent injection via SVG path data
Security: Debug handlers exposed in production - Crash test handlers (crash:test, crash:test-fatal) now gated behind !app.isPackaged so they're only available in development
Security: executeJavaScript injection surface - Migrated theme and accent color application from executeJavaScript string interpolation to safe IPC messaging (webContents.send) with renderer-side listeners
Stale output after empty run - Fixed bug where viewing an action's output after a run that produced no output would show stale output from a previous run. Caused by writeActionOutput skipping empty strings (falsy check), leaving old output files on disk
Production bundle missing shared modules - Added src/shared/**/* and src/shared-styles/**/* to electron-builder.config.js files array. Without these, the consolidated scriptLanguages.js module and CSS variable stylesheets were excluded from the production .asar bundle, causing runtime crashes

Changed

Output buffer limits - Output window now enforces a 5MB buffer limit on captured output, preventing unbounded memory growth from long-running commands. Oldest output is trimmed when exceeded, with a truncation notice shown
Shared CSS variables for all windows - Variable-input, output, and help windows now use the shared variables.css design tokens instead of hardcoded inline variables. All three windows now support light/dark theme and accent color changes in real-time
Consolidated SCRIPT_LANGUAGES - Script language definitions (extensions, interpreters, labels) extracted into shared scriptLanguages.js module, removing duplication across action-runner, ScriptEditor, and ScriptEditorApp
React performance: memoized context - AppContext value is now memoized with useMemo, preventing unnecessary re-renders of all context consumers on unrelated state changes
React performance: batched refreshData - refreshData() now fetches all data in parallel with Promise.all and dispatches a single REFRESH_DATA action instead of 5 sequential dispatches

Removed

Dead code cleanup - Removed unused HelpTooltip.jsx from renderer (duplicate of the active modal-apps version), removed unused useModalAPI hook and its barrel export

[0.7.25-beta] - 2026-02-21

Added

Show output on error - New "Show output on error" checkbox in action options that opens the output window only when an action fails (non-zero exit code). Output is captured silently during execution and displayed after completion. Only visible when "Show output on run" is unchecked (otherwise redundant). Works for both terminal commands and scripts, across all trigger types (UI click, hotkey, tray, schedule, popout).

[0.7.24-beta] - 2026-02-21

Added

Pop out to floating button (Pro feature) - Turn any action into a persistent, always-on-top draggable button
- Right-click any action → "Pop Out as Floating Button" to create a compact floating trigger
- Floating buttons stay visible even when the main Actions window is hidden
- Click to run the action; respects confirmRun setting (two-click confirm with danger-red "Confirm?" state)
- Uses last variable values silently (prompts if never run with variables)
- Draggable to any screen position; position persists across app restarts
- Close button (×) appears on hover to dismiss the popout
- Source action in main list gets a dashed accent-color border to indicate it's popped out
- Running state pulse animation on the floating button while action executes
- Theme and accent color sync — popout buttons update when you change themes
- Action name/icon/color updates reflected in real-time on popout buttons
- Restored on app launch with display validation (handles disconnected monitors)
- Replace All import closes all active floating buttons
- Gated as Pro feature via LicenseManager.PRO_FEATURES
Test import data - Added test-import.json with 32 actions across 6 categories covering all action types, colors, icons, variables, and features for comprehensive testing

Changed

ActionExecutor callbacks - Added onActionStarted and onActionDone optional callbacks for external notification of action lifecycle events (used by PopoutWindowManager for running state feedback)
Export messaging - Export description now clarifies that environment variables and floating button positions are not included

Fixed

Test import validation - Fixed separator action in test-import.json failing validation due to empty name string

[0.7.23-beta] - 2025-02-20

Added

Actions import/export (Pro feature) - New "Data" tab in Settings for backing up, restoring, and transferring action configurations
- Export All or Export Selected Categories with checkbox picker
- Selective export only includes global variables referenced by exported actions
- Import with file preview showing counts before committing
- Replace All mode overwrites existing data; Append mode adds alongside
- Append matches categories by name — imports into existing categories when names match, creates new ones only when no match exists
- Validates imported data structure and referential integrity before executing
- Smart default filenames: selective exports name the file after selected categories (e.g., actions-export-general-devops.json), falls back to count for 4+ categories
- Strips runtime state (last run info, scheduling timestamps) from exports
- Environment variables excluded (encrypted secrets, not portable between machines)
- Gated as Pro feature via LicenseManager.PRO_FEATURES

[0.7.22-beta] - 2025-02-17

Fixed

Auto-update restart hang - App got stuck on "Restarting..." after downloading an update because isRestartingForUpdate flag was never set to true, preventing the app from fully quitting. Also added store flush and schedule cleanup before quit to prevent data loss during update restart.

[0.7.21-beta] - 2025-02-17

Fixed

Auto-close config not forwarded - Fixed wrapper functions in main.js that swallowed the auto-close config argument, preventing the countdown from ever appearing
Auto-close checkbox not saving - Added missing autoCloseOutput and autoCloseOutputDelay to useCallback dependency array in ActionEditorApp

Documentation

Full help documentation review — Updated all 13 help pages to reflect current features:
- Added documentation for pause auto-run, auto-close output window, success return value, shell expansion in variables
- Fixed incorrect Settings tab references (hotkeys are in Hotkeys tab, not General)
- Fixed action hotkeys description (they work in leader key mode, not globally)
- Updated Settings page with correct tab order, Always on Top option, and data backup file
- Added pause mentions to scheduling, tray menu, and leader key docs

[0.7.20-beta] - 2025-02-17

Added

Auto-close output window on success - Output windows can auto-close after a configurable delay when the action succeeds
- Per-action setting: "Auto-close on success after X seconds" (1-60s, default 5)
- Only triggers when window was auto-opened (not when user manually re-opens to view output)
- Countdown displayed in footer: "Closing in 3s..."
- User interaction (clicking output area, scrolling) cancels the c...
