Implemented the Preferences window for #Macstodon today, with a bunch of quality-of-life tweaks:
- The number of toots to load when the app launches (or a profile window is opened) can be customized. Older machines like the SE/30 might want to put this at 0. Newer machines can crank it higher.
- The number of toots to load when pressing the "Refresh" button on a timeline can be customized separately from the launch number.
- Avatars and banners can be disabled. I'm probably going to default to banners off since I can't solve the memory leak around them 😢​ But if you have a lot of RAM then you can enable them!
- The image cache can be cleared, if your favourite poster has a new avatar and you want to see it.
I've attached a screenshot that shows the difference between the banner and bannerless profiles, as well as the new prefs window.
Next time: Finishing off profiles, probably. I'm hoping to have the 0.5 release sometime in March (for #MARCHintosh ) 😎​
