New in HyperSnap 8.13.02 (Jul 9, 2017)

  • Minor fix - using the Crop function will not switch the cursor mode into rectangular selection any more.

If you want to return to the default view and shape selection, just click the right mouse button

New in HyperSnap 8.11.03 (Apr 14, 2016)

  • Improved blurry text in callouts when background color is totally opaque (Alpha 255).

New in HyperSnap 7.20.04 (Oct 30, 2012)

  • Had to disable anonymous upload to ImageShack - it never worked correctly.

New in HyperSnap 7.20.03 (Oct 24, 2012)

  • Small fix - font selection box for text and callout items did not work correctly under Windows XP.

New in HyperSnap 7.20.02 (Oct 22, 2012)

  • Fixed crash when trying to create a text box when running on Windows XP (maybe some other systems as well)
  • Added keyboard shortcuts in text editing box of toggle of bold (Ctrl+B), italics (Ctrl+I), underline (Ctrl+U), left align (Ctrl+L), center (Ctrl+E) and right align (Ctrl+R) commands.

New in HyperSnap 7.20.01 (Oct 20, 2012)

  • Fixed transparency issue for stamps created with HyperSnap 6.
  • Automatically imprinting edge effects like torn edges before adding a shadow to an image.

New in HyperSnap 7.20.00 (Oct 18, 2012)

  • Added hot/cold button state selection to button capture tab of "Caputre settings". Hot state is when the mouse cursor is over a button, cold otherwise
  • Added easier font face and size selection to text editing box (for stamps, text items and callouts)
  • Added "Resize to contain text" option to text editing box, for text items and callouts
  • Added Align - Center horizontally and vertically commands, and changed the way align commands work - now they align relatively to the common bounding box, instead of asking user to drag a line first
  • Changed stamps list to multi-select (hold Ctrl or Shift to select more than 1 stamps), valid for Insert and Delete operations
  • Fixed TextSnap to work again with Internet Explorer 9 in "protected mode"

New in HyperSnap 7.19.01 (Sep 24, 2012)

  • Changed Stamps list to multi-selection. Hold Ctrl or Shift key while clicking on stamp names to select more than one, then click "Insert" or "Delete" button to insert/delete multiple stamps in one operation.

New in HyperSnap 7.19.00 (Sep 20, 2012)

  • Modified again the way copy/paste of image area works. Now again preserves the original position, unless the pasted fragment would fall entirely outside of the target image - in that case it goes to (0,0) of current selection.
  • Added "Align" command for shapes to the "Edit" ribbon tab, and modified the way align works - it now shows and lets the user move a vertical or horizontal line to which the shapes should be aligned.
  • Renaming an image from the thumbnails list (click the thumbnail, then click again the name below it to edit it) now also renames the file belonging to this image.

New in HyperSnap 7.18.00 (Sep 6, 2012)

  • Strip command on Image menu now has also insert commands, in addition to cut-out
  • Resize button has drop down menu with "Contain shapes" command
  • Split button added to Image ribbon tab, to split images horizontally, vertically or 4-ways.
  • Correction to copy image area, followed by immediate paste - was pasted relative to
  • the current selection rectangle, causing it to fall outside of the image sometimes.
  • Fixed - no longer rounding corners when capturing windows under Windows 8.
  • TextSnap marked as unsupported. It still works as always, but a notice appear when turned on, explaining the lack of support.

New in HyperSnap 7.17.00 (Jul 18, 2012)

  • When logging off or shutting down Windows, will save unsaved images in temporary folder, restore them upon next start of HyperSnap.
  • Increased radius for easier clicking on object resize handles and other hot points.
  • Other small changes to improve stability and certify the product for Windows 8 desktop.

New in HyperSnap 7.16.03 (Jun 28, 2012)

  • Fixed crash when using File/Save with TextSnap result
  • Fixed crash when using Color Replacement function when no image loaded

New in HyperSnap 7.16.02 (Jun 8, 2012)

  • Incorrect handling of 32-bits per pixel images with transparency in auto-trim function fixed.

New in HyperSnap 7.16.01 (May 22, 2012)

  • Modified "Display pixel size of the blinking rectangle during Window capture" option - it is turned off by default now. Press the - (minus or hyphen key) during window capture to turn on this display. It was causing trouble for some users.

New in HyperSnap 7.16.00 (May 15, 2012)

  • Changes/new features:
  • Display pixel size of the blinking rectangle during Window capture
  • End region capture with 'C' key to copy color code (crosshair stage) or size (outline rectangle stage)
  • Added an option for turning text smoothing off and on again for text and callout items.
  • Changed the way Copy in HTML format works. Now if the image was previously saved in GIF/JPEG/PNG format, (including Quick Save upon new capture) and not modified, that file will be used in HTML code. Otherwise,
  • a temporary file will be generated as before, but this time taking into account the format specification last used under File/Save As... - if that format was GIF or JPEG or PNG. Else HyperSnap auto-selects GIF or PNG.
  • Fixes:
  • Move or delete selection - clears to background color but ignores transparency (alpha).
  • Make a freehand selection and finish it, cursor still in freehand selection mode - Del and BS keys don't clear selected area.

New in HyperSnap 7.15.01 (May 7, 2012)

  • Bug fix - pressing Delete key on the keyboard not only deleted selected shapes, but also cleared the whole image to white (although this could be reverted with Undo operation). Now it works correctly.

New in HyperSnap 7.15.00 (May 3, 2012)

  • Changes and new features:
  • Dragging corners of pasted image by default now preserves proportions of the image. Hold Shift for unrestricted scaling of such images. Or hold Ctrl key while dragging corners of other object to preserve their proportions.
  • Changed the way area selections work (both rectangular and freehand selection). Making these selections with Ctrl key down, selects only shapes. Without Ctrl pressed, the underlying image area is selected and the shapes are drawn on top of this selection. The selection object then floats above all other objects, so it's easier to see, move, edit.
  • Issues fixed:
  • Double click the last added text item, while the cursor is still in text mode, does not start text editing
  • Upon start of a text edit operation the window was still showing the OK button as a default button, activated by pressing Enter key, while in fact Enter produces new lines in the edited text.
  • Area select and move it - cannot select another area close to it before first imprinting the previous one.
  • Freehand area selection - switch to other image and back - transparency lost, no matter if moved or not.
  • Windows explorer thumbnails no longer worked on 64-bit systems.
  • There should be a way to scale selection without moving it first - there is now, right-click, choose
  • "convert selection to an object" and then scale.

New in HyperSnap 7.14.02 (Apr 23, 2012)

  • Fixes:
  • Marking stamps for auto-insert damaged stamp files
  • Auto-inserting stamps with "underlay" (emboss) style did not work correctly
  • Inserting stamps with "underlay" (emboss) style did not work correctly when target image had 32 bpp color
  • Turning off the "default button" style on edit stamp or text box when editing the text (Enter key enters new lines in text then)
  • Zoom up above 400% and down twice permanently hid objects drawn over the image. Now they are shown back if they were visible before the zoom
  • Rectangular selection, immediatelly after drawing it first and releasing the mouse button, was scaled instead enlarged when dragging its corners or mid-section handles. Now it willbe scaled only if you move it _and_ click outside to de-select it, then select again

New in HyperSnap 7.14.01 (Apr 20, 2012)

  • Fixes:
  • Hang on region capture or crop functions under Win7 on some machines.
  • Marking stamps for auto-insert damaged stamp files
  • Auto-inserting stamps with "underlay" (emboss) style did not work correctly
  • Inserting stamps with "underlay" (emboss) style did not work correctly when target image had 32 bpp color
  • Minor change:
  • Turning off the "default button" style on edit stamp or text box when editing the text (Enter key enters new lines in text then)

New in HyperSnap 7.14 (Apr 19, 2012)

  • New features:
  • "W" key during region capture and similar functions toggles cross-hair or selection box line width between 1, 3, 5 and 7 pixels - wider lines are sometimes needed for visually impared.
  • Images pasted on the current picture in HyperSnap 7 window, and stamps without text, are now scaled bigger/smaller if you start dragging corners of them.
  • The rectangular area selection, after it's moved and de-selected, then selected again, is now scaled when dragging its corners, instead just enlarging the selection area.
  • Bugs fixed:
  • Pasting images copied from another HyperSnap window on a current image, would always paste at top left, instead of at selection top left.
  • Drawing lines and other objects - if released left mouse button while mouse was beyond HyperSnap drawing area, the object would disappear.
  • Right-click on thumbnails and choosing "Save Selected" - "to a single file..." then cancelling - caused that only TIFF and PDF formats were available under the regular File/Save As...
  • F1 key in region capture and similar functions to toggle zoom/help was not working correctly (bringing up help window etc.)
  • When zoom mode was set to "Auto", clicking on the magnifying glass in ribbon interface up right did nothing
  • When adding text, it was not possible to start dragging text outline rectangle over an object drawn before, unless these object were "imprinted" on the underlying image.
  • Copying an image with 8 bits per pixel color resolution and pasting it back into HyperSnap 7 caused color reversal - blue to read etc.
  • Copying image with color resolution reduction to 8, 4 or 1 bits per pixel was incorrect.
  • Thumbnails were not always updated when adding, moving shapes.

New in HyperSnap 7.13.05 (Apr 7, 2012)

  • Fixes to add shadow to bitmap function
  • Capture active window corrected to make rounded corners etc. transparent, when opacity of default background color for captures is set to 0

New in HyperSnap 7.13.04 (Mar 1, 2012)

  • Fix - copying a callout with text item crashed the program
  • On some 64-bit systems text capture did not work for 64-bit processes (e.g. from Windows Explorer) due to missing DLLs. Now HyperSnap 7 setup provides these DLLs and corrects the problem

New in HyperSnap 7.13.03 (Feb 28, 2012)

  • Fix to copy/paste images with transparent background color - the older version did not respect color transparency setting and would always paste as non-transparent.

New in HyperSnap 7.13.02 (Feb 23, 2012)

  • Text drawing mode modified - now leaves the new text item just created "selected" with resizing handles visible and active. If you move mouse over this item, you may move and resize it at once, double-click to edit again etc. If you move mouse over image space empty of other drawn object, the mouse cursor is still in new test creation mode as before. Some users were confused and thought they can no longer resize text items created, this should make it much easier
  • Some small bug fixes - e.g. arrow head size was not always shown correctly under certain zoom levels etc

New in HyperSnap 7.13.01 (Feb 17, 2012)

  • Fixed COM server in HyperSnap 7 (for OLE Automation program control of HyperSnap, not important for regular use)

New in HyperSnap 7.13.00 (Feb 16, 2012)

  • Upload to ImageShack.us added to "File" menu, and also right-click on the thumbnails list offers a batch upload of all selected images. The upload generates and copies links to images uploaded, that can be easily used on the Web, e.g. in online forums and blog posts, including short links for Twitter.
  • "Copy" function added to the right-click on thumbnail menu.
  • Freehand area selection fixed to follow image zooming and scrolling while the outline is still edited.

New in HyperSnap 7.11.03 (Jan 13, 2012)

  • Fix: changing Windows "theme" would mess up HyperSnap 7 window, check-boxes in the thumbnail list became huge etc.

New in HyperSnap 7.11.02 (Jan 5, 2012)

  • Fix: capturing rounded rectangle or elliptical region did not respect opacity setting under Capture Settings - Default background color....
  • Change - the default image save format is now PNG instead of .dhs (HyperSnap drawing format, which preserves shapes for later editing, but is incompatible with other applications)
  • Fix - double click on an image icon would not open in HyperSnap 7, if HyperSnap was registered to handle this format.

New in HyperSnap 7.11.01 (Dec 11, 2011)

  • Fixed: Image/Black & White function crash on some 32-bit images.

  • Fixed: changing image resolution did not mark an image as modified.
  • Added %clip% macro to print header/footer and to stamps text macro expansions. Takes up to 256 characters of the text from clipboard, if any found.
  • Added "Clear recent files list" option to "Startup and tray icon" dialog box. Added "Options" button to the File panel of the ribbon to access this box from there as well.

New in HyperSnap 7.10.00 (Dec 2, 2011)

  • Right-click on a closed shape (only one must be selected) offers now a "Convert to selection" option.

  • The list of most recently used files under "File" menu is cleared automatically from files that no longer exist upon program startup.
  • When setting zoom above 400%, drawing mode is auto-switched to "draw directly on image", restored when lowering zoom to what it was before.
  • Bug fix: File/Page Setup did not work correctly if text window was opened and currently active inside HyperSnap (e.g. from TextSnap command). It would crash when orientation changed to Landscape or on other operations.
  • Bug fix: Color Resolution, click on 1 bpp did not work on the first try. Also, selection was not modified by color resolution changes, now hiding it.

New in HyperSnap 7.09.00 (Nov 12, 2011)

  • Firefox addon made compatible with Firefox 8
  • Changed the way flood fill works - it now respects current area selection, or if clicked on a shape - modifies the shape's color.

New in HyperSnap 7.08.01 (Nov 9, 2011)

New in HyperSnap 7.05.01 (Aug 10, 2011)

  • Rotating a selection smaller than the whole image did not work correctly.

  • A number of smaller fixes to printing and selection code.

New in HyperSnap 7.04.00 (Aug 4, 2011)

  • Most image processing functions (color processing and image effects like mosaic etc.) now work correctly on freeshape selection.
  • Some users were confused why tools like spray can, flood fill or eraser were disabled by default. Now they are enabled and switch automatically into "draw on image" mode. A message is displayed when this switch happens, the user may disable the message after becoming familiar with this feature.
  • Edge effects like torn edges etc. are now also "shapes" and can be moved, copied etc. like everything else.
  • Corrections to printing code to correctly print torn edges and similar effect, hopefully they also fix a problem with printing on some HP laser printers.
  • When pasting something at the top, bottom, left or right of the image - or similar effects when capturing a region and adding in that way - the added image is now a separate shape that can be moved and manipulated in any way.
  • Cut-out strip function sometimes did not work (did nothing), fixed.
  • A number of other small fixes.

New in HyperSnap 7.03.02 (Aug 1, 2011)

  • When using "replace image in current window" for captures, all shapes drawn for previous image were added to the new caputre as well, and indavertantly saved on captured images, sometimes obscuring the actual capture. Fixed now.

New in HyperSnap 7.03.01 (Jul 30, 2011)

  • Fixed crash when clicking "Customize Keyboard" button under Capture or TextSnap menu/ribbon tab - "Hot Keys" button.
  • Still small changes to the way rectangular selection works, now you may adjust its size after first selecting it, it does not disappear when you move selection, so you can adjust your movement etc.
  • Image effects and color changes were not immediately showing when changing a smaller area of an image, fixed.

New in HyperSnap 7.03.00 (Jul 29, 2011)

  • Many users were confused about how selection works in HyperSnap 7 (rectangular and free-shape selection), so changed that. Now these tools are enabled all the time. If there are any un-selected shapes within the selected area, the shapes are added to selection. If no new shapes are added, instead an area of the underlying image is selected and can be moved, scaled, rotated, or deleted to clear that area to the current background color.
  • Fixed some problems with reading/saving GIF files, including saving/reading transparency and a program crash on some GIF images.
  • Fixed a problem with program crashing when using the highlight tool for a longer time.

  • Many other smaller fixes.

New in HyperSnap 7.02.00 (Jul 25, 2011)

  • On popular demand changed the way drawing tools work. Now - as in v.6, when you select e.g. drawing lines, HyperSnap will remain in drawing lines mode until you change it (in 7.01 it went back to selection mode). You may right-click to go back to selection mode at once anytime.
  • Corrected a problem with text drawing (new text appeared in left top corner instead where drawn), also fixed the crash if text entered in "draw directly on image" mode.
  • Right-click on shape that is not selected, now selects it and shows the properties menu. Previously did nothing, you had to left-click to select the shape first.

New in HyperSnap 7.00.00 RC 8 (Jul 20, 2011)

  • Updated the old drawing toolbar (used mostly with menu interface) with all the new functions related to shape editor.
  • Also added freehand selection - in image editing mode, outline a loop and you can move/scale irregular image fragment. In shape editing mode it selects shapes contained within that loop. This build also contains the first cut of the new help

New in HyperSnap 7.00.00 RC 5 (Jun 18, 2011)

  • New features:
  • added some commands to the File, Capture and Edit ribbon tabs - command that previously could be only added to standard toolbars with View/Customize menu.
  • the above commands can now be easily added to the "Quick Access Toolbar".
  • Bug fixes only:
  • in some situations the ribbon was still shown instead of the menu that the user preferred.
  • a memory leak (actually: Windows API leak) occurred with a particular configuration, making the program lock or crash.

  • Edit/Cut command left always a hole in the image - area set to be completely transparent, instead of respecting the current background opacity (Alpha) setting on the ribbon color selector.
  • Pinning colors, to use the same color selections for editing all images opened in HyperSnap did not work, if the old drawing toolbar was not visible.

New in HyperSnap 7.00.00 RC 2 (Jun 9, 2011)

  • Fixes to the install/uninstall program, e.g. uninstall would not delete some files even after a reboot.
  • Added an item to the "View" menu (with the classic menu interface) to show/hide the thumbnails list.

New in HyperSnap 7.00.00 RC 1 (Jun 7, 2011)

  • A big request placed many times: File/Open dialog box now allows you to select multiple files to open at once
  • You may also print multiple selected images, after selecting them in Thumbnails list, right-click and choose "Print Selected...". One image per page, centered and at 100% size is printed, unless the image is too big to fit on that page - in that case it's shrunk to fit page. Headers/footers, frame and other settings available under File/Page Setup won't work here, you need to print one by one for that

  • Other cosmetic changes and bug fixes.
  • A few more bug fixes

New in HyperSnap 7.00.00 Beta 5 (May 4, 2011)
