KeyJig 1.2.4

Bug fix

• Keynote 15: Apple Keynote 15 "Creator Studio" is a separate app installation from Keynote 14, so KeyJig targets whichever version was most recently active.

Internal

• Minimum macOS raised to 12.0. Tested on macOS 15 macOS 27.

KeyJig 1.2.3

Bug fix

• Keynote communication could hang after a macOS upgrade. Reset or undecided Automation permissions blocked AppleScript requests. KeyJig now requests Automation permission more reliably.

Internal

• Minimum macOS raised to 12.0

KeyJig 1.2.2

Bug fixes

• Upside-down text in some PDF imports. Some PDFs (notably from OmniGraffle) showed flipped text after conversion. Caused by a Y-flip cm combined with a negative-d Tm applying a negative Y-scale to per-run transforms; fixed in PDFStreamScanner (PDFToSVGConverter.swift) with regression coverage.

• Extra --> showing in metadata. Exported SVG metadata sometimes included a stray comment ending. Creator and Producer values now strip the terminator before embedding; existing outputs are unchanged.

• Slow rejection of very large SVGs. Oversized files could take up to a minute to be rejected. Validation previously scanned >50 MB SVGs case-insensitively (~1 s/MB); inputs now fail fast with the same size limit.

Internal

• Moved the 50 MB SVG limit constant from ClipboardHelpers.swift to SVGProcessing.swift to keep the ingest gate and tests together. No behavior change.
• CI runs KeyJigTests on all main pushes and PRs.

KeyJig 1.2.1

KeyJig v1.2.1

Bug fixes and reliability improvements

• UTF-16 SVG file support: SVG files saved in UTF-16 encoding now work
  when dragged to the widow, menu-bar panel, or from AppleScript.
• Serialized pulls: Prevents race conditions when triggering multiple pull
  operations concurrently. Keynote pull requests now serialize to avoid parallel
  AppleScript streams.
• Crop accuracy: Clipboard pulls and chart fallbacks now correctly apply
  cropping when Ghostscript or mutool is available, eliminating uncropped PDFs.
• Responsive UI during menus: Clipboard watcher timer now stays active while
  menus and modal dialogs are open, keeping button states current.

KeyJig 1.2.0

KeyJig 1.2.0

Faster conversion and less dependency on Inkscape

• Native PDF → SVG — KeyJig now converts PDFs to SVG without relying on external utilities as often.
• Open PDF and Illustrator files without Inkscape — dropping a PDF or .ai file onto the app no longer requires Inkscape. Use the native path for most files.
• Faster processing — fewer subprocesses and less main-thread work make pulls, conversions, and previews feel faster.

New: output a PDF when SVG isn't the right target

• Option-drag or Shift-drag — Produce a PDF rather than SVG when applicable. Place Apple Keynote slides or Microsoft Excel charts directly into page layout apps like Adobe InDesign.

Preview and clipboard fixes

• Content format in metadata — preview shows whether graphic is SVG or a PDF.
• Reload from Clipboard — consistent visual feedback and a reliable reload.
• Canvas preservation — a clipboard with no usable graphics no longer wipes the canvas.

Polish

• Tighter SVG content filter; block preview network access by default.
• Unified prompts and wording across dialogs and localizations.
• Option-drag uses file promises for cleaner drops into other apps.
• Smarter drag icons (correct proportions, dark mode, clear option state).
• Initial launch no longer surfaces a spurious error on a clean run.

KeyJig 1.1.4

KeyJig 1.1.4

Improved

• Better focus retention — after Keynote operations, focus returns to active application.

• Refined Settings & Help — simplified preferences layout with direct links to Accessibility system settings.

• Memory & stability fixes — better memory management.

• Post-action script — run an AppleScript after eligible conversions. Enable hidden setting with:

  defaults write com.cyzor.KeyJig showCompletionScript -bool true

• Example to send processed result to Objective Development LaunchBar:

  tell application "LaunchBar" to open (POSIX file "{svgPath}")

KeyJig 1.1.3

Improved

• Speeds up large file loading.
• Cleans up menu bar popover on macOS with transparency appearance enabled.
• Attempts to name temporary SVGs based on context.
• Explains why conversions fail, including oversized, malformed, or unsupported formats.
• Adds option to convert large SVGs rather than refusing.

Fixed

• Shows title bar proxy icon for PDFs as well as SVGs.
• Detects Illustrator placeholder content with PDFKit text extraction.

KeyJig 1.1.2

KeyJig 1.1.2

Improved

• Undo for canvas clear — ⌘Z now reverses Clear; ⇧⌘Z re-clears.
• Content history — ⌘[ and ⌘] step backward and forward through recently loaded graphics in each window, browser-style.
• Always-visible pull buttons — A new setting (Settings → Appearance) keeps the Keynote pull buttons visible without holding Option, useful when the window is pinned to the menu bar.
• AppleScript: New result file path property returns the path of the most recent output file (pulled Keynote PDF or staged SVG bridge file).

Fixed

• Stricter Keynote version check — KeyJig now blocks gracefully on Keynote versions older than 13.1 (the release that added native SVG import) with a clear error message instead of a silent failure.
• SVG import validation; preview webview no longer makes network requests.
• Better permissions feedback — Clearer messaging when Accessibility or Automation permission is missing.
• Simplified appearance of hint text
• Bug fix: frontmost app is now correctly restored after a clipboard-based Keynote pull.

KeyJig 1.1.1

• Preview area more clearly represents image transparency
• Format detection reads file content with better accuracy
• Settings shows a warning when it needs Automation access to Keynote

Fixed

• SVG edge clipping and Keynote color profile rejection
• More efficient clipboard memory management
