|
|
- Drag anywhere on a card. Drop in the upper half of a target to place
|
|
it before that card, or the lower half to place it after. Drag collection
|
|
buttons similarly. Right-click also offers Move earlier / Move later.
|
|
- Choose icon in Add/Edit accepts PNG, JPEG, ICO, or BMP under 5 MB. Icons are
|
|
resized and stored inside the JSON, so they travel with exported libraries.
|
|
Use website icon restores automatic icon detection.
|
|
- Manage collections: create, rename, or delete collections. Deleting a
|
|
collection preserves its links in Unsorted (or Everyday if deleting Unsorted).
|
|
- Undo deletion restores deleted shortcuts while this session remains open.
|
|
Importing a library clears undo history. Undo history is not saved on exit.
|
|
- Open collection is available in Manage collections and the right-click menu.
|
|

Add, edit, delete, search, and group website cards. Dark mode is optional.
|
|
Website icons are discovered from page metadata, then /favicon.ico.
|
|
Unavailable icons use a letter fallback.
|
|
|
|
Links, icons, card colors, collection order, and theme preference are saved in:
|
|
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Orbit\settings.json
|
|
Use Open settings in the sidebar to open this folder in Explorer.
|
|
The previous save is kept as settings.json.bak.
|
|
This is persistent per-user app storage, not a temporary folder.
|
|
|
|
Existing Orbit registry settings or a legacy shortcuts.json beside the EXE
|
|
are migrated on first use if the new JSON settings file is absent.
|
|
Legacy data is preserved. Future changes use the JSON file only.
|
|
|
|
Use Import / Export to share your library. Copying only the EXE does not include
|
|
personal changes. Exports contain website addresses and any custom icons;
|
|
review your library before sharing it. The theme is not included in exports.

|
|
|
The bundled .NET runtime extracts supporting files to temporary storage.
|
