Windows, links and notifications

Fuego 2.0 opens any resource in a native window, registers a fuego:// URL scheme and a .fuego file format for links, exports and backups, and collects background events in a notification center.

Multiple windows

Fuego opens as many native windows as you need, each with its own state.

Right-click any resource — a collection, a dashboard, a saved query, a Storage bucket, a search result — and choose Open in → New window.
Open a whole project in its own window by middle-clicking its name in the sidebar, or ⌘/Ctrl-clicking it.
⌘ ⇧ N (Ctrl ⇧ N) opens an empty window.

What stays in sync

Windows are not independent copies of the app: changes travel between them immediately, filtered by project and database. Edit a document in one window and any other window showing that document — in a table, a tree, a dashboard widget or an open tab — updates in place. This works even when real-time is off, because the update travels inside Fuego rather than through Firestore.

A document edited in one window updates in the other, with real-time off.

The same applies to everything else the app owns:

documents added, changed or deleted
collections and JSON Schemas
saved queries and workspaces
bookmarks
background tasks and notifications
project settings, and the currently selected project

What stays local to each window is what you are looking at: tabs, selected view, scroll position, and the AI assistant, since every window hosts its own conversation.

Each window also owns its own datasets and listeners, so closing a window actually frees its memory instead of leaving the data behind.

`fuego://` links

Fuego registers a fuego:// URL scheme, so a link can point at a specific document, collection, query, Storage file or bucket, or user, and open it directly in the app.

Copy one with Copy Fuego link:

from the context menu of a document, collection or Storage item
from the share menu of a saved query
from the command palette

Paste it into a ticket, a pull request or a chat thread, and whoever has Fuego and access to that project lands exactly where you were.

The `.fuego` file format

Export and import share a single format. File → Export and File → Import write and read .fuego files with a manifest and integrity verification, covering:

application backups
workspaces and dashboards
shared queries

Double-clicking a .fuego file opens it in Fuego.

Legacy formats keep working on import: .zip backups, .json workspaces and .json queries.

NOTE

The fuego:// URL scheme and the .fuego file association are registered on macOS and Windows. On Linux you can still import .fuego files from File → Import.

Background tasks

Long imports and exports run in the background and report into the activity sidebar, which shows what each task is doing and how far along it is.

Pause and resume a running task at any time.
A task interrupted by a forced quit or a crash is restored on the next launch and resumes where it stopped, instead of starting over.

Notification center

The notification center collects the events you would otherwise miss — completed background tasks, synchronization results, warnings — in one place, so a task finishing while you work in another window is still there when you look.
