Opening a link in a task when using the Windows desktop app opens another window within the app as well as my default browser, you get two windows opening every time you click a link. This means I end up with lots of stacked windows on the Freedcamp app icon in the taskbar. Using the latest version 1.3.6

Still some weirdness with attachments. Three main things:

- Just clicking an image preview to see it (clicking the little magnifying glass on the image, in the list of attachments) attempts a download of the image. I'm just trying to see the image larger, not download it.
- When clicking that magnifying glass OR clicking the little menu on the attachment in the attachment list, two things happen - the Freedcamp app pops up a window with a file dialog to save the file AND Chrome (my default browser) ALSO pops to the foreground and then auto-downloads the attachment.
- Lastly, when clicking an inline image, in addition to the desired behavior (opening the image in a lightbox), the image also opens in a new freedcamp window AND Chrome pops up a new window. This is super-annoying - I have 3 images to close in 3 different places as opposed to just hitting "esc" to dismiss the image.

Here's an example of the last item: https://i.imgur.com/u02vjnV.png

Other outstanding items that remain:

Let's get notifications! It's crazy that I can run this in a browser tab and get OS-level notifications, but not when run as an app. It's possible: https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/notifications

Auto-refresh - I shouldn't have to hit cmd-R to see if there's anything new or not.

Desktop App on Win7:

Clicking the update notification link "Please download and update from here" continually spawns 100s of new browser (IE11) windows (pointing @ https://desktop.freedcamp.download/) until either I kill Internet Explorer or Internet Explorer kills my machine.

Pop-up notifications from the desktop app for tasks would be great. Or at least a little icon indicating new content. Also, it would be great to check off a box to stay logged in all the time, not just 2 weeks since my password isn't autosaved in the app.

Got another small bug on the Mac version. If you opt to download a file that's attached to a task, a file browser window pops up and you can select where to save the file. It works fine if you continue and save a file. If you cancel out of the dialog, the dialog box closes, but the app freezes at the "pulsing"/loading indicator. At that point you can either quit or hit cmd-r to "reload" the app.

Begging for OS-X notifications, it's really one of the main reasons I'm here for the desktop app.

I know it can be done, it's in Basecamp's Electron app, and it's supported in Electron: https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/notifications

@Mike, I guess you will need to talk to IT department to install Freedcamp application to required people computers in a centralized way but please wait when an application is properly signed by us.

My organization does not allow the Windows Defender Block to be bypassed. Are there any other options to install this?

Hi,

This is because it is in beta and not yet properly signed

Why isn't there a link to the desktop application anywhere on your main page?

Why does the app look exactly the same as the browser version? Most desktop apps are a miniaturized version of the browser version. Take toggl for example.. it has just the timing aspect not all of the functionalities of the browser version. This makes it much easier to use/keep on the screen. I have not used the Freedcamp desktop app since the first 10 minutes after downloading.

I just download windows app and what I found:
1) windows to small, need to make manually bigger, don't see message with wrong password
2) by default window should be a full screen
3)

Also had a crash of the app today when attaching a file:

A few things I'm noticing here:
- I'm not seeing any type of notification mechanism on the Mac version (this is one of the things that I was really hoping for)
- Kind of related, I'm running this on two desktops and it looks like I have to manually refresh the app (splat - r) to see new tasks in a project - can we have the app poll for changes?

This is great, well done. Can you make it so that clicking on the icon in the dock (on Mac) opens the main window if the window closed, but the app is running?

@Charles - thank you. It has been already reported and we will update with the fix soon.

Functionality seems OK, but I'm seeing some weird issues with the slide-out project list. I tried resizing the window to both extremes (very narrow, full-width) and the issue remains, the project list basically doesn't get "pushed" to the right of the shortcuts. Image is probably easier:

Sorry - no Linux version. If there are enthusiasts who will be interested to create one - you will have our full support!

Is there a Linux version?

Hi, this new version looks to be working better! I tend to use this instead of Freedcamp in the browser. I hate to harp on keyboard shortcuts, but could you also add Hide (Command + H) and Find (Command + F)?
