Browse Button Fix

Changelog

• Attempted to make capture of admin windows more reliable when the program itself is not running as admin
• Fixed the Browse button

Also available on the Microsoft Store

Custom keyboard shortcut support

Changelog

• Added "Keep window centered" crop mode (useful on Windows 11)
• Fixed fonts in the main settings UI
• Custom keyboard shortcut support
• Removed the dedicated Windows Vista Optimizations mode
  • Optimizations are now applied per-OS as needed

The .NET 4.x release has been dropped in this release - this build requires .NET Framework 3.0 or 3.5 (recommended)

Better clipboard support & bugfixes

Changelog

• Added support for copying transparent screenshots into the clipboard
  • Broken on Windows 11 for now
• Added a warning if the application is already running
• Reverted to the old backdrop creating mechanism and added a delay between capturing screenshots
  • This is still an attempt to fix the bug where background removal fails because the screenshot is taken too early
  • Capture is slower as a result but less prone to failure (hopefully)

Two releases are available now, the only difference is the required version of .NET:

• AeroShot.exe - Requires .NET 3.0 (3.5 recommended)
• AeroShot.NET.4.7.exe - Requires .NET 4.7.2 (4.8 recommended)

The 4.7 release has been made available primarily for special edge cases where it's deemed difficult to install .NET 3.5, it doesn't have any new functionality. Note that it may crash on older operating systems (e.g. Windows Vista), the .NET 3.0 release is recommended in these cases.

New Icon & Bugfixes

Changelog

• Reworked how the backdrop is being created
  • Fixes most of the cases where background removal failed
• Fixed an oversight that made the crop based on the inactive screenshot capture
  • This also addresses screenshots not being saved if inactive dark optimized screenshot was disabled
• More sensible defaults based on OS detection
  • Inactive light optimized is only enabled on operating systems with Afterglow by default (Windows 7 build 6730 - Windows 8 build 8432) or if Aero Glass for Win8+ is running
  • Mask and fully transparent screenshot capture is only enabled if an operating system with Aero Glass support is detected (Windows Vista [any supported build] - Windows 8 build 8432)
• Added support for fully transparent screenshots on Windows Vista
• New icon by @RUvlad1

Two releases are available now, the only difference is the required version of .NET:

• AeroShot.exe - Requires .NET 3.0 (3.5 recommended)
• AeroShot.NET.4.0.exe - Requires .NET 4.0 (4.8 recommended)

The 4.0 release has been made available primarily for special edge cases where it's deemed difficult to install .NET 3.5, it doesn't have any new functionality. Note that it may crash on older operating systems (e.g. Windows Vista), the .NET 3.0 release is recommended in these cases.
