Quiet Read 1.4 should be navigating the Bits and Bites Sea any minute now.

What’s new in Quiet Read?

Favicons
This won’t make a huge difference in the way the application behaves, but it makes it a little bit prettier. And prettier is better.

But, if you don’t like pretty things, you can hide them in the application preferences.

Contextual menu
Control+click or right click a link, and you will get a contextual menu that will let you open, edit and delete the link.

Drag and drop to other applications
You can drag links to Safari, Firefox, TextEdit, Adium… to any application that supports it.

What’s new in Quiet Read Pro?

AppleScript
Yay! You can add links to Quiet Read Pro directly through AppleScript. For instance, to add the frontmost page in Safari:

tell application “Safari”
set theWindow to item 1 of windows
set theTab to item 1 of the tabs of theWindow
set theTitle to do JavaScript “document.title” in theTab
set theUrl to do JavaScript “document.location.href” in theTab
end tell

tell application “Quiet Read”
set theLink to make new link with properties {url:theTitle, title:theUrl}
end tell

Export to CSV
You can export all your links to a CSV file. Why would you do that? I don’t know…

Extended sorting options
By default, Quiet Read sorts your links by creation date, ascending. In English, that means, the oldest first, the newest last. You can change the sorting to creation date, descending (newest first), or sort by title or by url.

Email links
A convenient way to send your favourite Youtube cat videos to all your friends. Can you believe this, by the way?

Send links to ReadItLater/Instapaper automatically
Many of you asked for it, so here it is: you can send all incoming links to Read It Later and/or Instapaper automatically. You are welcome.

Multiple selection
This should not be a new feature, it should have been always there, but better late than never, don’t you think? Select multiple links, and perform actions over the selection.

And that’s all (for now). Thank you all for being there. Thank you for downloading Quiet Read, and thank you with cream on top if you purchased Quiet Read Pro. Oh, and add some cherries on top of that cream if you are one of the volunteers who translated the application.

Oh, and if you are not sure about what is that Pro and not Pro thing, check out our better and bigger support centre.
