The tool with the four-way arrow on it now moves the screenshot, which is what its icon has always promised.

The move tool moves the image. It panned the view instead, and moving the screenshot meant clicking it once to select it and then dragging — a two-step nobody finds. Drag with the move tool, on M, and the screenshot moves around the board. Panning the view stays on space-drag and middle-drag, where it belongs.

Open folder follows what you did last. After a recording it opened Screenshots. It now opens Recordings after a video and Screenshots after a capture.

Captures can be named. Save asks what to call it, with the automatic name already filled in and selected, so Enter still saves in one keystroke. A name that is already taken becomes -2, -3, and the prompt says so before you commit rather than replacing a capture quietly. The prompt can be turned off in Settings, under Capture.

Text starts black. Each tool now remembers its own colour: black is what reads on a screenshot of a light interface, while a drawn mark still needs to stand out, so the pencil and the shapes stay red. Switching tools no longer drags one tool's colour onto the next.

Hovering the colour swatch offers the ten obvious colours. Clicking it still opens the full wheel. The common case now costs no clicks and the complete one is no further away than it was.

Install: download KamCapture.exe below and run it. It asks where to install — per-user, never as administrator — or runs where it stands. The .NET runtime is inside it, so there is nothing to install first. Recording also needs ffmpeg: winget install Gyan.FFmpeg

Updating: 1.2.x offers this by itself. From 1.1.x, run the download; it offers to replace the copy that is running.

It is not code signed, so SmartScreen warns the first time: More info, then Run anyway. The SHA-256 is published beside it in SHA256SUMS.txt, and Get-FileHash KamCapture.exe should match it:
