Changelog

All notable changes to Plotzilla are documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog. The current version is in the VERSION file.

[Unreleased]

Fixed

• The Cancel button responds while the translation model is loading.
• The translation model download resumes where it stopped after an interruption, skips files already downloaded, and reports a stalled connection instead of hanging. A model directory with missing or truncated files is offered for download again instead of failing to load.

[1.3] - 2026-10-01

Added

• Translation of a script, or of the selection, from French to English (Ctrl+Shift+L), offline: the OPUS-MT model runs in Go, downloaded once on demand. Sluglines, character extensions, parentheticals, transitions and shots follow English script conventions; character names and text already in English are left as they are.

[1.2] - 2026-09-29

Added

• Arch Linux PKGBUILD (packaging/arch).

Fixed

• Align VERSION on tag

[1.1] - 2026-09-29

Added

• Application icon, used for the window, the launcher, the favicon and the header bar logo.
• make install / make uninstall: the binary, a desktop entry, the icon, and MIME types so file managers open .fountain and .fdx files with Plotzilla.

[1.0] - 2026-09-28

Added

• Screenplay editor on a page drawn at the real printed size, with scene heading, action, character, parenthetical, dialogue, transition, insert/shot, intertitle and centered elements (Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+9).
• Final Draft-style typing: Enter creates the next logical element, Tab cycles the type, scene headings, inserts, parentheticals and transitions are recognized as you type.
• Dual dialogue (Ctrl+D), bold, italic and underline.
• Autocomplete for character names, extensions, locations, times of day, inserts and transitions.
• Live page breaks computed by the PDF layout engine, with (MORE) / (CONT'D) and the usual pagination rules.
• Scene navigator with scene numbers and pages; focus mode; zoom.
• Find and replace, with match case and whole words.
• Spell checking with the system's Hunspell dictionaries, including compound words (with COMPOUNDRULE patterns), a personal dictionary and screenplay-aware rules (character names, sluglines, abbreviations).
• Title page editor.
• Fountain as the native format; Final Draft (.fdx) import and export; PDF export in US Letter or A4, with optional title page and scene numbers.
• Fountain sections, synopses and notes, shown in the editor and in the navigator outline, never printed.
• Colored revisions (Blue, Pink, Yellow…) with revision headers and asterisks in the PDF.
• Locked pages, with A pages (12A) and merged pages (12-13).
• Forced page breaks (Ctrl+Enter), read and written as Fountain's === and Final Draft's StartsNewPage.
• Sections, synopses, notes and revisions in Final Draft files.
• Autosave, with recovery of untitled scripts, and a confirmation before discarding changes.
• Frameless window with an in-app header bar, English interface whatever the system language.

Changed

• The window no longer depends on GNOME: window buttons follow the desktop's GTK button layout, and the light/dark preference is read from the XDG desktop portal (GNOME setting as fallback).

Fixed

• File choosers no longer switch to light mode on KDE Plasma and other non-GNOME desktops.
• Window corners stay square instead of showing black wedges when no compositor is running.
