All Platforms:

  • Hand tool and a reorganized toolbar: Crop, Select, and Hand now sit
    together as one group. The hand tool (H, or hold middle click) pans the canvas
    without touching your annotations. The bottom bar gained a live info block
    showing the current resolution and original capture file size.
  • Zoom range increased: The preview editor zooms further than before, with
    the 100% detent still snapping exactly under your cursor.
  • Sharper icons everywhere: Every icon in the app is now drawn on whole
    pixels instead of being resampled onto a fractional grid. This leads to much
    cleaner icon display.
  • Crop framing: Entering crop now zooms out to leave a consistent margin
    around the image on all sides, so the handles are always reachable and there
    is room to expand the canvas outward.
  • Crop UX: The top toolbar items not related to crop now vanish while in a
    cropping session.
  • Annotations stay visible while cropping: Marks that fall outside the
    current crop rectangle are still drawn during a crop session, so you can see
    what you are about to cut. Covermarks and spotlight dimming are hidden during
    crop for usability, and return when you accept.
  • Live selection preview: Dragging a selection box in the canvas will now
    show a border around items that get included in the selection in real time as
    you continue dragging.
  • Covermarks cover expanded canvas: When you crop past the image bounds, the
    covermark pattern now fills the expanded area instead of stopping at the
    original edge.
  • Video share parity: The video editor's share actions now match the image
    editor's. Copied recordings get a proper name, and a share that cannot be
    baked is refused with a reason instead of silently producing the wrong file.
  • Fixed: The preview editor no longer crashes when zooming in quickly on a
    large capture with many annotations.

Windows:

  • Windows 10 window controls: The minimize, restore, and close buttons now
    render on Windows 10. They were previously invisible while still being
    clickable.
  • Diagnostics report: Windows builds now write a small text report to
    %LOCALAPPDATA%\cosmic-capture-kit\logs describing the graphics adapter and
    window settings. It exists to track down a Windows 10 display problem and
    contains no screenshots, file names, or personal data. It will be removed once
    that issue is resolved.

Known issues:

  • On Windows 10, the shaded overlay shown when selecting a capture area renders
    solid black instead of see-through, and frosted-glass window effects do not
    apply. Windows 11 is unaffected. This is under active investigation, and the
    diagnostics report above is part of tracking it down.

Note: Windows 10 is not officially supported, but effort is being made to
ensure rudimentary compatibility at this time.
