# Release Notes

## \[1.2.1] - 2026-05-27

### Added

* **Active saved-search awareness** — when you apply a saved search, an amber **★** badge appears at the left of the filter chip bar; a trailing `*` + italic marks divergence as soon as you edit a chip. Clicking the badge opens the saved-searches dropdown, which gains two conditional rows above "Save current search…": **↻ Update ''** (overwrite the entry with your current state) and **⟲ Reset to ''** (discard local edits and re-apply the saved expression). The dropdown also highlights the active row in bold + tint. Switching to a different saved or recent entry while you have unsaved chip edits surfaces a "Discard unsaved changes?" confirm so the edits aren't lost silently.
* **Recent Searches Cap** preference (default 20, range 1–100) — `Preferences ▸ Game Data Workbench ▸ Table View` lets you tune how many recent searches the dropdown remembers per schema

### Fixed

* Column-header sort priority indicator now numbers from `↑1` / `↓1` — hidden-column or orphan sort entries no longer inflate the visible priority number
* Selection-summary status bar now refreshes on every selection mutation (Ctrl+click extend / Shift+click extend / Ctrl+click deselect) instead of staying frozen at the first selection's aggregates
* "Save current search…" footer in the saved-searches dropdown reliably reflects the live filter state after editing a chip — opening the dropdown no longer reuses a stale cached instance
* Saved-searches dropdown now scrolls when many entries accumulate, so Recent rows no longer stack on top of each other when there are more entries than fit; the "Save current search…" footer stays pinned at the bottom

## \[1.2.0] - 2026-05-22

### Added

* **Saved searches** — name and persist search expressions per schema, with Personal (per-machine) and Project (committed to `ProjectSettings/GDW/SavedSearches/`) scopes. The `▾` caret next to the search field opens a sectioned dropdown of saved + recent entries.
* Save popover gains a Personal/Project radio picker and an in-place "OK → Overwrite" button flip on name collision
* Per-entry kebab menu: Rename, Move to {opposite scope}, Delete
* **Selection-summary status bar** with aggregate chips (Rows / Count / Sum / Avg / Min / Max) below the table for the current multi-cell selection; click any chip to copy its value to the clipboard
* **Second toolbar row** with:
  * Column-width cluster: Stretch (default), Fit Headers, Compact, Auto-fit
  * Columns popup: per-column visibility toggles in one popover
  * Quick actions: Find/Replace, Find Across (cross-schema search), Clear (filters + text + sort in one click)
* **Ping in Project** icon button next to Export on the first toolbar row (focuses the selected record's asset in the Project window)
* **Icons** replace text labels on toolbar buttons (Import, Export, Ping, Delete, etc.) for compactness and consistency
* **Command palette** gains a Recent commands section at the top showing your most recently used actions
* **Live-update Preferences** — changing Row Height, Highlight Color, Header Format, or Changed-Cell Highlight Mode under `Edit ▸ Preferences ▸ GDW` now updates open Table View windows immediately; no close/reopen needed
* **Edit a filter from its chip** — click a filter chip's body (not the X) to reopen the `Filter…` popup pre-loaded with that chip's settings
* **Type-aware column filters** — the column-header `Filter…` popup now adapts to the column type:
  * Color columns — Equals / Not Equals / Approximately Equals (with a tolerance slider) via a color picker
  * `[Flags]` enum and LayerMask columns — bitwise matching (Has Any / Has All / Has None / Equals) over a multi-select bit list
  * Vector / Quaternion columns — per-axis min/max ranges, or a magnitude range
  * Rect / Bounds columns — per-component ranges (x, y, width, height, center, size)
  * Object-reference columns — Equals / Not Equals against a chosen asset
* Basic column filters gained operator choices too: numeric (Range / ≥ / > / ≤ / < / = / ≠), text (Does Not Equal), and enum (Any of / Equals / Not Equals)

### Changed

* Toolbar reorganized into two rows; row 1 for primary data actions (schema, `+`, Import, Export, Ping), row 2 for column management and quick filter clearing
* Delete record moved to row 2 far-right with a subtle red hover tint, physically separated from `+` Create to prevent fat-finger deletions
* The `▾` caret next to the search field now opens the saved-searches + recents dropdown (previously did nothing)
* Submitting a search de-duplicates against project-scope saved searches as well as personal — a project-saved expression never reappears in Recents
* The numeric `Filter…` popup now defaults to `=` (exact value) instead of Range — the common exact-value lookup no longer needs a dropdown switch first
* A Vector / Rect / Bounds component filter with only its lower field filled is now an exact match (`=v`) instead of an open-ended `≥v` range; fill the upper field to make it a range
* Removed the no-op "Any" option from the Boolean, AnimationCurve, Reference, and Gradient filter popups — it applied no filter and duplicated the kebab's "Clear filter"
* AnimationCurve and Gradient columns no longer offer filtering (the `Filter…` entry is greyed out) — a serialized curve or gradient is never empty, so every available predicate was inert

### Fixed

* Removing a filter chip via its X no longer drops other filters on the same field (closing `damage>100` no longer removes a sibling `damage<200`)
* The "(filtered)" record-count label no longer shows a misleading "▾" caret prefix (the element is a plain label, not a dropdown)
* Color, Gradient, and Reference filter popups no longer close the moment their picker opens
* Color column filters now match reliably — both `Color32` columns and float `Color` columns shown as hex compare correctly
* Exact-value filters on `uint` / `ulong` columns no longer drop every row
* Column filters on `uint`, `byte`, `short`, and other non-`int` numeric columns now survive switching schema away and back
* Specialized column filters (color, vector, reference, flag-mask) now round-trip correctly through saved searches
* A virtual column whose formula throws now logs a one-time warning instead of silently skewing the selection-summary status bar

### Thanks to

* **CitrioN** (Discord) for reporting the filter-chip remove bug and for the UI/UX suggestions that shaped the second toolbar row, the icon overhaul, and the cross-schema search button.

## \[1.1.0] - 2026-05-12

### Added

* Conditional formatting ("Color by…") with eight modes: off, gradient, thresholds, delta-vs, by-value, contains-text, text-color, and Excel-style data bars
* Six theme-aware palettes plus a user-defined Custom two-stop palette
* N-band thresholds (1–16 user-defined bands), signed-magnitude delta-vs gradient, and zero-anchored data bars on signed ranges
* Saved column layouts now have Personal and Project scopes; Project layouts commit under `ProjectSettings/` for version control
* Promote to Project and Copy to Personal actions for moving layouts between scopes
* Always-visible column-header kebab (`⋯`) consolidates sort, filter, group, hide, conditional formatting, summary, and add-computed-column actions in one menu
* Kebab tints when a column has an active filter; "Clear filter" entry removes the filter without opening the popup
* Open Table Views toolbar dropdown on Unity's main toolbar (Unity 6.3+) for bringing any open Table View window to the front
* Expression literals accept scientific notation (`1e3`, `2.5E-2`, `6.022e23`) in virtual columns, summary formulas, and batch Custom Expression steps

### Changed

* Selection model — cells, rows, and columns are now three independent selections with active-cell outline navigation, Excel-style row/column anchors, and Ctrl+A select-all
* Keyboard navigation — F2 / Enter / Space to edit, arrows / Tab / Shift+Enter to move, Esc to back out one stage, contextual Delete precedence
* Cell editing follows a uniform display-to-edit-swap model: every editable cell shows a read-only summary in display mode and swaps to a typed input, popup, or native picker when edit mode opens
* Numeric, text, enum, flags, LayerMask, and reference cells render as labels in display mode; the typed input only materializes during edit
* Vector2 / Vector3 / Vector4, Vector2Int / Vector3Int, and Quaternion fields now edit via a popup window anchored to the cell (consistent with Rect and Bounds); inline Tab→X/Y/Z component navigation is no longer available
* Sort moved to the column-header kebab menu; header click now selects the column instead of sorting
* Saved column layouts stored as per-layout JSON files instead of a single EditorPrefs blob; layout dropdown sectioned into Personal and Project
* Filter UI moved into the kebab; standalone filter button removed
* Filter popup polished: 1px border, single-row `[Cancel] [Apply]` footer, Esc closes
* Grouping, sort, filters, hidden columns, splitter sizes, summary-row toggle, and last-used "create record" folder now persist across window close/reopen (and editor restart for UI preferences)
* Batch Operations `Custom Expression` steps now read values produced by earlier steps in the queue — chaining `Multiply [damage] × 2` then `[damage] + 100` produces the chained result
* Delete is no longer claimed to be Undoable for ScriptableObject-backed records — Ctrl+Z does not restore a deleted asset because the `.asset` file has already moved to the OS recycle bin. Restore from the recycle bin and re-import for accidental deletes.

### Fixed

* `char` columns get conditional formatting (previously silently skipped)
* ByValue mode shows the palette dropdown so the user can pick the palette
* Kebab dropdown menu renders at full content width instead of a 12px sliver
* Kebab items that open a follow-up popup (Filter, Color by) land at the correct screen position
* ContainsText popup rows render at the correct height instead of stacking on top of each other
* Object reference picker (Sprite, Texture2D, Material, AudioClip, Mesh, Font, GameObject) now reliably commits the chosen asset when opened by double-click
* Gradient and AnimationCurve inline edits commit cleanly through the cell renderer (mutable-value change-tracker fix; mirrors the Gradient picker bypass)
* Pickers stay alive when the table refreshes during an inline edit (re-entrancy + RefreshItems-during-edit guard)
* Esc on an open picker popup cancels the edit without spurious commits (FocusIn-after-ready gate)
* Batch `Custom Expression` evaluation now sees the cumulative effect of earlier steps in the queue
* Scientific-notation numbers no longer fail to parse in expressions
* `Color32` fields reject component values outside `0–255` instead of silently wrapping
* JSON read/write now follows RFC 8259 strictly — malformed input is rejected, and pathological characters in string values round-trip correctly
* Filters using the `In` operator with values containing `|`, `"`, `\`, or newlines now round-trip safely; pre-existing saved filters continue to load

### Migration

The legacy EditorPrefs blob storing column layouts is migrated to per-layout JSON files on first load. The migration is atomic — if it fails partway, the legacy blob is preserved and re-attempted next time.

## \[1.0.0] - 2026-03-09

### Added

* Spreadsheet-style Table View for browsing, sorting, filtering, and inline-editing ScriptableObject assets
* 15 built-in cell renderers covering all common Unity types, plus a custom cell drawer API for third-party extensions
* Inline asset thumbnails for visual types (Sprite, Texture2D, Material, GameObject, AudioClip, Mesh)
* Multi-column sort, text search, property-based search filters (`field:value` syntax), and per-column filtering
* Column hide/show, drag reorder, resize, and saved column layout presets
* Row grouping by any field with collapsible group headers
* Bookmarks and Pins for quick navigation and sticky reference records
* Batch operations panel with 9 operation types, drag-to-reorder steps, live preview, and a preset system
* Find & replace across all visible fields
* CSV and JSON import/export with column mapping, data review, and type coercion
* Expression-based virtual columns with 20 functions and aggregate support (SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX, COUNT, MEDIAN, STDEV)
* Summary row with per-column aggregate formulas and quick presets
* Per-cell annotations for team notes, with a dedicated Annotations browser window
* Command palette (Ctrl+K) with fuzzy search across 40+ actions
* Record link navigation with breadcrumb trail (Ctrl+Click / Alt+Click)
* Schema Creator for visually designing new ScriptableObject types with live C# preview
* Cross-schema search window
* Full keyboard navigation: Tab between cells, Enter to edit, Delete to remove, and more
* Dark and light theme support
