Release Notes

A small maintenance patch on top of 1.4.0. Classic 1.4.0 → 1.4.1, modern 1.1.0 → 1.1.1. Fixes

  • Classic: after moving a row, the current-row anchor could drift onto a different entry (the grid keeps the current cell at a fixed row index across the reorder), so a following Insert Above/Below or Move acted on the wrong entry. The anchor is now restored by identity after a move. (#78)
  • Modern: a filter-membership change under a very large (>20K-row) selection no longer filters the whole (~400K-entry) list a second time during the rebind. (#74) Classic (portable, signed): download a zip below, unzip, and run — self-contained (no runtime to install), runs as a standard user, elevates on demand (one UAC prompt) only when saving. Modern installs and auto-updates from the Microsoft Store.
