Omaframe 0.7.4: window scrollshots

Scrolling capture now works on windows only. Press S in the selector, then
click the window you want. Dragging an area or pressing F no longer starts a
scrolling capture, since small areas gave the stitcher too little overlap and
often fell back to scrolling by hand.

To keep only part of a page, crop the result in the editor.

Install or update with the attached omaframe-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst package,
then reopen Omaframe. Existing settings, captures and drafts are preserved.

Tested with all eleven suites in an isolated Omarchy desktop, the Chromium
scrolling smoke, and hands-on selector checks for clicks and drags.

Omaframe 0.7.3: clean scrollshots

Scrollshots no longer repeat native scrollbar thumbs and arrow buttons
beside the captured page. The full window width, header and footer controls
stay intact.

Cleanup uses verified scroll motion and a mostly flat page margin. Unconfirmed
controls and textured edges are preserved.

Install or update with the attached omaframe-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst package,
then reopen Omaframe. Existing settings, captures and drafts are preserved.

Tested with all eleven suites in an isolated Omarchy desktop, Chromium
capture and editor checks, and light/dark Omarchy Manual captures.

v0.7.2: Cleaner scrollshots

Capture scrolling windows with Print Screen. Choose a frame (or Raw), then paste. Press E in the finish picker if you want to mark it up first.

This patch fixes frames adding a wide grey strip beside Chromium’s scrollbar. The original scrollbar width and window controls are preserved.

All eleven isolated test suites pass, along with the real Chromium capture and editing smoke test. Existing settings, captures and drafts are preserved.

v0.7.1: Scrollshots for Omarchy

Capture a scrolling window with Print Screen, choose Scroll, then click the window. Pick a frame, or Raw, and paste. Press E at the finish picker to mark it up first.

Watch the scrollshot demo.

0.7.1 fixes right-edge cropping that could clip Chromium's window controls. Scrolling captures now preserve the full selected width, including headers and footers. Scrollbars remain visible.

Download the Arch package and install with sudo pacman -U omaframe-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst. Reopen Omaframe after updating. Settings, captures and drafts are preserved.

Validation: all 11 suites pass in an isolated Omarchy desktop, plus Chromium scrolling, cancellation, annotations, crop, undo and reopen checks. CI passes the Arch build, headless tests, OCR patterns and install layout.

Scrolling capture is a beta. Pages with changing content or animation may need manual scrolling.

Omaframe 0.7.0: Capture the whole page

Capture a whole scrolling page, then give it the same finishes and edits as any screenshot.

• Press S in the screenshot selector or run omaframe --scroll.
• Auto-scroll and stitch, or move the pointer to scroll by hand.
• Read and edit long captures at full width. Annotations, crop and undo preserve the original resolution.
• Includes fixes for preview shutdown, keyboard cancellation and framed preview memory limits.

All eleven suites and the real Chromium capture/edit smoke passed. Animated or completely repeating pages can leave ambiguous seams; check the result before sharing. Omaframe remains a beta. Physical camera, microphone and GPU recording combinations were not retested.

Omaframe 0.6.0

Omaframe 0.6.0

Annotation styles and easier editing, with fixes since 0.5.1:

• Capture hints sit below the bar and no longer block buttons. Recording
  controls keep the hints outside the captured area.
• Side handles resize width or height independently. Text wraps when resized
  from the sides; corner handles scale the font. Crop frames and pen strokes
  are easier to move and resize, with Shift for straight movement.
• Contextual style controls offer label colors and backgrounds, open or
  filled arrowheads, contrast outlines, shape fills, highlight opacity,
  step colors and blur strength. Choices are remembered for each tool.
• Style panels have a clear preview, close when you click outside and fit
  smaller windows. Settings rows and shortcut borders have proper spacing.
• Fixed recording review getting stuck when closing after annotations,
  including Super+W and the save-and-close action.

Install or update with the attached Arch package or the stable
omaframe-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst asset. Reopen Omaframe after updating.

The build and all nine test suites passed in an isolated desktop. UI checks
covered annotation controls, settings, smaller windows and closing the editor.
Rendering and video export were checked with fixtures; physical camera,
audio and GPU-specific recording behavior were not retested.

Omaframe remains a beta. GPU Screen Recorder 6.1.0 remains the minimum.

Omaframe 0.5.1

Omaframe 0.5.1

A polish and bug-fix release for screenshots and recordings. Changes since
0.5.0:

• Clearer first-run guidance, optional shortcuts and recent edits ordered
  newest first. Existing settings and dismissed guidance stay intact.
• Capture controls fit smaller screens. Recording options keep Start
  visible, and paused recordings show both elapsed time and Resume.
• Cleaner screenshot editing, better label placement and keyboard controls.
  Failed saves let you change the folder and retry the retained capture.
• Video and GIF export progress and Cancel stay visible above the preview.
  Typing in time fields no longer triggers editor shortcuts.
• Copy video works for opened originals and current exports. Undoing back
  to the original copies the original rather than an older edited export.
• Back returns opened videos to the start screen. Settings, folder pickers
  and camera controls have clearer labels, focus and light/dark contrast.

Install or update with the attached Arch package or the stable
omaframe-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst asset.

The build and all nine test suites passed in an isolated desktop. UI checks
covered first launch, retained upgrade settings, area/window/whole-display
capture, editing, pause/resume and export in light/dark themes and smaller
windows. Recording tests use fixtures; physical camera, audio and
GPU-specific capture behavior were not retested.

Omaframe remains a beta. GPU Screen Recorder 6.1.0 remains the minimum.

Omaframe 0.5.0

Omaframe 0.5.0

Crop recordings, return to unfinished edits, add a webcam overlay and export
short demos as GIFs. Changes since 0.4.0:

• Video crop. Press C and drag to crop the whole clip. Preview with V,
  reset the crop or undo it.
• Recovery drafts. Video edits save automatically in Recent edits,
  including trim, cuts, sound, marks, crop and camera placement. Reopen a
  draft to continue. Removing a draft keeps the original and exported files.
• Optional webcam overlay. Choose a camera in recording Options. It
  starts off. After recording, drag the overlay while playback is paused;
  use Camera to change its size, corner or visibility. Pause, trim and cuts
  stay aligned with the screen recording. Camera failures leave screen
  recording running.
• Looping GIF export. Export GIF includes your edits and camera overlay,
  then offers Copy GIF and Show file. GIFs are silent, loop continuously and
  use up to 720 pixels on the longest edge at 15 fps. Keep the edited clip
  within 30 seconds. The editor stays open and existing MP4 exports remain
  available. GIFs can be larger than MP4.
• Cleaner review. More preview space in small windows, menus that close
  with Esc and shortcuts that stay out of the way while menus are open.

Drafts reference the original video, so keep it in place. For camera edits,
keep its webcam MP4 and camera JSON sidecar alongside it.

Install or update using the attached Arch package or
omaframe-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst from the latest release.

All nine suites passed in an isolated desktop for crop, drafts and camera.
Focused GIF and navigation tests passed afterward, with light/dark UI and
clipboard checks using fixtures. CI builds on Arch and runs seven headless
suites, OCR pattern tests and install checks. Physical camera acquisition
and GPU-specific capture behavior were not retested.

Omaframe remains a beta. Animated zoom and automatic focus are not included.
GPU Screen Recorder 6.1.0 remains the minimum.

Omaframe 0.4.0

Omaframe 0.4.0

Pause and resume recordings, clearer controls, and protection for unsaved
video edits. Changes since 0.3.0:

• Pause and resume. Pause keeps the same recording open and leaves the
  paused time out of the saved video and audio. The timer counts recorded
  time, and Stop still saves the clip while paused.
• Optional pause shortcut. Enable capture shortcuts in Settings for
  Alt+Shift+Print Screen, including recordings without a visible control.
  Setup preserves custom bindings. Scripts can use --pause-recording,
  --resume-recording and --toggle-recording-pause.
• Simpler recording controls. Labeled Pause, Resume and Stop buttons,
  centered contents, clearer sound and microphone options, and recording
  setup that stays reachable in smaller windows.
• Cleaner editing. Named video mark tools, editor controls that fit
  smaller windows, keyboard access to recent drafts, menus that close with
  Esc, and a sample image that opens directly in Edit. Settings now show the
  actual app version.
• Protect video edits. Opening another file, starting a capture or
  quitting offers Cancel, Discard edits or Save and continue. File drops and
  capture shortcut commands use the same prompt. Save and continue waits
  until the export succeeds.
• Keep edits after errors. Failed saves keep the edits available to
  retry and show a readable message. A failed file open preserves the current
  editor and its saved state.
• Basic CI. Arch builds, six headless suites, OCR pattern tests and
  install-layout checks run on pull requests and pushes to main.

Install or update with:

curl -fLo /tmp/omaframe.pkg.tar.zst https://github.com/btsouth/omaframe/releases/latest/download/omaframe-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst && sudo pacman -U /tmp/omaframe.pkg.tar.zst

All eight test suites passed in an isolated desktop. Light and dark themes,
small windows, recording controls and save/discard/cancel flows were checked
there with fixture recordings. These checks do not measure physical GPU or
microphone behavior.

Omaframe remains a beta. Video edits have no draft recovery, and there is no
webcam overlay or zoom yet. GPU Screen Recorder 6.1.0 remains the minimum.

Omaframe 0.3.0

Omaframe 0.3.0

Marks on recordings, hiding possible secrets in screenshots, and a fix for
displays that are turned off.

• Mark up recordings. In review, press G to blur or R to cover something
  private for the whole clip. Pause and press A, B, T or N for an arrow, box,
  label or numbered step from there to the end. Select a mark and press I and
  O to set when it shows.
• Hide possible secrets. While you pick a finish, Omaframe reads the
  screenshot. If it spots something that looks like an API key, token, email,
  card number, IBAN, public IP or private key, a Hide possible secrets
  button appears and H redacts them. Shift+H does the same in the editor. It
  can miss things, so look before you share.
• Copy text. Press T in the picker to copy the text in the screenshot.
  What Omaframe reads stays in memory and is never saved.
• Room at the edges. When a capture stops right at a plain background, the
  finishes carry that background out a little. Raw is unchanged.
• Displays that are off. Print Screen no longer gets stuck waiting on a
  monitor that is off, for example while streaming with Sunshine and
  Moonlight, and --repeat on an area of a display that is off asks you to
  select again. Thanks to Diogo Chaves for finding and fixing this (#1).

Secret hiding and copy text need tesseract and tesseract-data-eng, which
Omarchy already has. Without them those two features are simply not there.

Install or update with:

curl -fLo /tmp/omaframe.pkg.tar.zst https://github.com/btsouth/omaframe/releases/latest/download/omaframe-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst && sudo pacman -U /tmp/omaframe.pkg.tar.zst

Validated with all seven test suites in an isolated desktop, the secret
picker, editor, video review and edge room checked by hand there, and video
marks on the owner's desktop. Not retested: repeating an area on one of two
monitors while that one is off, and a fresh install on Omarchy stable.
Omaframe remains a screenshot and basic recording beta.
