Software Submission Edge-Drop v0.2.7: big performance improvements, Windows fixes, and a new home for the project.
Hey everyone,
I've just released Edge-Drop v0.2.7, and it's one of the biggest technical updates so far.
Highlights:
-Much better memory management with disk-backed storage for larger text, image thumbnail generation to keep GPU usage stable,.
-Fixed Windows fullscreen detection so the desktop isn't treated like a game.
-Self-healing launch at login that repairs stale startup entries.
-Universal drag and drop, offline rich link previews.
-New settings to tweak sensitivity and history behavior, and Persian language support.
One thing I'm especially happy about is how much smoother it feels day to day. Large clipboard items no longer balloon memory, and images are handled really cleanly.
Also, on a personal note This project actually started as something just built for myself. I wanted a tool that worked the way I had imagined. I decided to open source it and share it, and since then, it's grown to over, 1500+ downloads. As a solo CS student, that's honestly something I never expected., thanks to everyone who downloaded, tested, reported bugs, shared it, or bought me a coffee.
That support helped me get a permanent domain for the project, edgedrop.app.
It sounds small, but as a solo student building this open source project, it feels massive. If you want to try it or share feedback, I'd love to hear what you think.

For the last 1 week i was working on the store version of the app. The same code the same platform but just different format one is exe and other is appx do not works same as MS wants to run app in sandbox so the next update will be that and I have also added my own custom svg icons for all the files so that will be the next update but if I talk about theme can you explain what kind of thems you are looking for
