Shotpad 1.0.3

Blur, pixelate and block-out now show what you are covering while you drag.

Until now the region only appeared once you released the mouse: pixel effects
are baked into the screenshot rather than painted over it, and that bake ran on
release — so you picked the area blind and found out afterwards what you had
covered.

Changed

• Live preview while dragging a redaction, in all three modes, with a
  dashed outline so a light blur over a plain background is still easy to see.
• The preview reworks the on-screen canvas rather than the screenshot at full
  size, and is clipped to what is visible, so it stays smooth — dragging across
  a whole 3840×2160 shot repaints in well under a frame, zoomed in or out.

Updating

pipx upgrade shotpad

AppImage users: download below, then re-run --install so the menu entry
points at the new file.

chmod +x Shotpad-1.0.3-x86_64.AppImage
./Shotpad-1.0.3-x86_64.AppImage --install

Worth checking if you added a keyboard shortcut by hand: custom shortcuts
hold the absolute path of the bundle, and the version is in the filename, so
yours may still be launching an old build. Point it at ~/.local/bin/shotpad
instead and it will follow every future update.
