Smaller updates and clearer controls​

  • macOS updates can download changed blocks, falling back to a full download when needed. Installation checks verify the running app and identify blocking files or processes.
  • Local capabilities replaces the Local parsing models tab and groups PDF extraction, OCR and research narration. Local resources.
  • Manual reference entry accepts an identifier without a title, including PMID. Film controls avoid flashing unavailable actions while loading.
  • PDF extraction improves text and table structure. Fixed-layout translation retains successful pages if another page fails; inspect the incomplete page before sharing. PDF translation.
  • Notebook analysis runs outside the UI thread. Windows fixes cover managed R DLL loading and window bounds around the taskbar.
