What's new

Behavior-focused follow-up to v1.1.0. With the Deskbar replicant installed, LocalSend now actually stays on the LAN when you close
the window.

  • Stay discoverable when the window is closed. Closing the window hides it instead of quitting the app. The multicast announcer and the HTTPS receiver keep running, so other devices on the LAN still see this host.
  • Click the replicant to bring the window back (handled via B_SILENT_RELAUNCH).
  • Right-click the replicant for a context menu with Open LocalSend and Quit LocalSend — the latter performs a real exit, bypassing the hide-on-close.
  • Hidden from the Deskbar leaf menu and the Twitcher while running in the background. app_flags now includes B_BACKGROUND_APP, so the running-apps list no longer shows LocalSend; the replicant icon in the tray is the sole "is it running" indicator.

If the replicant is not installed, behaviour is unchanged: closin the window quits the app.
