TimeMachine — Changelog

v1.1.3
✨ New Features
Manager

Added a dedicated page for managing all your timecodes, accessible from the open-in-tab button in the popup
Videos are displayed full-width with their timecodes organised in a card gallery
Global search bar to filter videos, timecodes and folders
Real-time statistics (number of videos, timecodes, folders)

Folders

Create folders to organise your videos
Drag and drop a video into a folder
Rename and delete folders
Folders are collapsible: clicking the header opens or closes them

Export

Export any video or folder in 4 formats: Youtube Desc., JSON, Reference List (Markdown), CSV
The Youtube Desc. format copies the content directly to your clipboard, ready to paste into a YouTube video description
Global export available from the Settings page

Clicking a timecode

Clicking a timecode from the Manager or the Popup jumps playback directly to the right moment if the video is already open in a tab
If the video is not open, a new tab opens at the correct timecode

🐛 Bug Fixes
Timecode button on YouTube

Complete rewrite of the button injection logic: it now appears automatically when any YouTube video page loads, with no manual action required
Fixed detection during SPA navigation (moving from video to video without a page reload)
The button now correctly re-injects itself on each new video visited

Video detection

Removed the "Youtube video not detected" message that incorrectly appeared
The popup now retries contacting the content script several times before showing an error, to handle YouTube's loading delays

v1.1.4
🐛 Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug in the Manager Timecode search where folder search was not working
