## 📢 Announcement
### ChatGPT Prompts!
This is a major and exciting update. It works like a `Telegram bot command` and helps you quickly populate custom models to make chatgpt work the way you want it to. This project has taken a lot of my spare time, so if it helps you, please help spread the word or star it would be a great encouragement to me. I hope I can keep updating it and adding more interesting features.
### How does it work?
You can look at **[awesome-chatgpt-prompts](https://github.com/f/awesome-chatgpt-prompts)** to find interesting features to import into the app. You can also use `Sync Prompts` to sync all in one click, and if you don't want certain prompts to appear in your slash commands, you can disable them.
- In the chatgpt text input area, type a character starting with `/` to bring up the command prompt, press the spacebar, and it will fill the input area with the text associated with the command by default (note: if it contains multiple command prompts, it will only select the first one as the fill, you can keep typing until the first prompted command is the one you want, then press the spacebar.
- Or use the mouse to click on one of the multiple commands). When the fill is complete, you simply press the Enter key.
- Under the slash command, use the tab key to modify the contents of the `{q}` tag (only single changes are supported [#54](https://github.com/lencx/ChatGPT/issues/54)). Use the keyboard `⇧` (arrow up) and `⇩` (arrow down) keys to select the slash command.
## ✨ Features
- Multi-platform: `macOS` `Linux` `Windows`
- Export ChatGPT history (PNG, PDF and Share Link)
- Automatic application upgrade notification
- Common shortcut keys
- System tray hover window
- Powerful menu items
- Support for slash commands and their configuration (can be configured manually or synchronized from a file [#55](https://github.com/lencx/ChatGPT/issues/55))
- Customize global shortcuts ([#108](https://github.com/lencx/ChatGPT/issues/108))
- Pop-up Search ([#122](https://github.com/lencx/ChatGPT/issues/122) mouse selected content, no more than 400 characters): The application is built using Tauri, and due to its security restrictions, some of the action buttons will not work, so we recommend going to your browser.

| Platform | Path |
| -------- | ------------------------- |
| Linux | `/home/lencx/.chatgpt` |
| macOS | `/Users/lencx/.chatgpt` |
| Windows | `C:\Users\lencx\.chatgpt` |
- `[.chatgpt]` - application configuration root folder
- `chat.conf.json` - preferences configuration
- `chat.model.json` - prompts configuration，contains three parts:
- `user_custom` - Requires manual data entry (**Control Conter -> Language Model -> User Custom**)
- `sync_prompts` - Synchronizing data from [f/awesome-chatgpt-prompts](https://github.com/f/awesome-chatgpt-prompts) (**Control Conter -> Language Model -> Sync Prompts**)
- `sync_custom` - Synchronize custom json and csv file data, support local and remote (**Control Conter -> Language Model -> Sync Custom**)
- `chat.model.cmd.json` - filtered (whether to enable) and sorted slash commands
- `[cache_model]` - caching model data
- `chatgpt_prompts.json` - Cache `sync_prompts` data
- `user_custom.json` - Cache `user_custom` data
- `ae6cf32a6f8541b499d6bfe549dbfca3.json` - Randomly generated file names, cache `sync_custom` data

- `bd1b96f15a1644f7bd647cc53073ff8f.json` - Randomly generated file names, cache `sync_custom` data
### Sync Custom
Currently, only json and csv are supported for synchronizing custom files, and the following formats need to be met, otherwise the application will be abnormal：
`JSON format:`
```json
[
{
"cmd": "a",
"act": "aa",
"prompt": "aaa aaa aaa"
},
{
"cmd": "b",
"act": "bb",
"prompt": "bbb bbb bbb"
}
]
```
`CSV format`
```csv
"cmd","act","prompt"
"a","aa","aaa aaa aaa"
"b","bb","bbb bbb bbb"
```
## 📌 TODO
- `Control Center` enhancement
- `Pop-up Search` enhancement

## ❓FAQ
### Can't open ChatGPT
If you cannot open the application after the upgrade, please try to clear the configuration file, which is in the `~/.chatgpt/*` directory.
### Out of sync login status between multiple windows
If you have already logged in in the main window, but the system tray window shows that you are not logged in, you can fix it by restarting the application (`Menu -> Preferences -> Restart ChatGPT`).
### Is it safe?
It's safe, just a wrapper for [OpenAI ChatGPT](https://chat.openai.com) website, no other data transfer exists (you can check the source code).
### Developer cannot be verified?
- [Open a Mac app from an unidentified developer](https://support.apple.com/en-sg/guide/mac-help/mh40616/mac)
