New

  • Update Now: on a copy installed with the Windows installer, the update window has an Update Now button. It downloads the new installer for your PC (x64 or ARM64), checks it against the release's SHA256SUMS.txt, closes the app, installs the update silently for the same scope (just you, or everyone on the PC), and opens the app again. Settings, presets, folders, and recordings are kept.
  • A download that does not match the checksum list is deleted and never run, and only this project's own GitHub release files are downloaded. A copy installed for everyone still needs administrator rights, so Windows shows its permission prompt.
  • The update window shows the release notes, with Remind Me Later and Skip This Version. For other installs it shows the command to copy (Homebrew, apt, dnf, the AUR, snap) or opens the download (the portable zip).
  • SCREENCAP_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1 turns Update Now off along with the update check, for PCs where updates are deployed centrally.

Testing

  • On real Windows machines (x64 and ARM64), for one user and for everyone: v1.33.0 is installed, the new updater downloads this release from a local test server, checks it, installs it silently, and the updated app opens again with the folders kept.
