New in SnipSnip 1.0.2717.1411 (Mar 22, 2011)
- Changes in this release:
- If you are using the [i] auto save pattern, SnipSnip now replaces the tag with the appropriate increment when viewing the "Save as..." dialog, rather then waiting to replace it until after the dialog closes
- "Full screen capture" delay has been renamed to "Anti-Flicker", and now applies to all capturing modes and not just to full screen captures
- Some optimizations to "Capture Area" code to make it more responsive and less flickery
- Window highlighting when using Aero is now disabled to avoid aweful drawing artifacts
- When running a newer version of SnipSnip for the first time, SnipSnip now automatically imports your old settings rather than asking
- Some UI changes to better comply with Microsoft's Windows UX Guidelines
- Major code cleanup
- Fixes in this release:
- Fixed a bug where SnipSnip would crash if capturing an area with a height and/or width of zero pixels when using the Capture Area method
- Fixed a bug where SnipSnip would capture outside the area of a monitor when capturing a full screen window using "Capture window", resulting in the capture being off center and with a blue border
- Fixed a bug where "Capture Area" would wait for the user to select an area, but not actually allow the user to do so, after setting the "Capture Overlay Color" to Fuchsia (#FF00FF)
- Fixed a similar bug where the background color of the window description for"Capture Object" and "Capture Window" was transparent if the color Fuchsia was selected for "Capture Object/Window Highlight Color"
- Fixed a bug where pressing "OK" immediately after pressing "Reset to defaults" in the options dialog would cause SnipSnip to display an error message about the default save path
- Fixed a bug where SnipSnip would allow you to "draw" with a pen outside of the image borders, but inside the capture box, resulting in a new undo state added even though there were no changes to the capture
- Removed some continuous capture settings from the user settings file, since SnipSnip does not have a continous capture feature
- Fixed a bug where capturing windows and object when Aero was enabled would sometimes cause artifacts and black boxes in parts of the capture
- Fixed a bug where "Capture Mouse Cursor" and "Capture Layered Windows" would not be checked, even if the setting was active, after upgrading to a new version of SnipSnip
- Fixed a bunch of save related oddities with file names, paths and formats
New in SnipSnip 1.0.2423.831 (Mar 22, 2011)
- Changes in this release:
- If you have saved a capture once, the "Save as..." dialog box now uses your last selected image format, rather than the default format
- If you have saved a capture once, the "Save as..." dialog box now uses your last selected location, rather than the default location
- Fixes in this release:
- Fixed the accuracy of the Crop tool so that it cuts where the dotted line actually is, instead of a couple of pixels away from it
- Fixed bug where SnipSnip would claim that the directory does not exist when entering the options dialog for the first time and then immediately clicking "OK"
- Fixed bug where SnipSnip would sometimes pick C:\ as a default directory, instead of the users Documents folder, when the user used "Save as..." instead of the "Save" option
- Fixed a bug where SnipSnip would append the file extension in the "Save as..." dialog box, resulting in files sometimes being saved in the chosen format, but with the incorrect file extension
- Fixed a bug where SnipSnip would think a new capture already had a filename and path when using "Save", even if it didn't, when the "Save as..." dialog had previously been opened and then cancelled
- Removed "Continuous captures" delay option from option dialog, because there is no Continuous capture feature
