SnapBuddy 0.6.1 — editing, shortcuts, and a fix that was hiding in plain sight.

If you are on 0.6.0 this updates itself. Installs of 0.5.0 or earlier still need a manual
reinstall — they predate the signing key rotation and cannot verify newer builds.

Fixed: the annotation toolbar was missing its colours

The colour swatches rendered as grey squares and the custom-colour picker stretched into a wide
bar across the toolbar. Every inline style in the app was being silently discarded by the content
security policy — the styles were correct, they just never reached the page. Recordings and
screenshots were unaffected, but the editor looked broken, and it was.

Trim the ends off a recording

Open a recording and drag the two handles to set an in and out point. Preview plays just the
selection. Trimming writes a new file and plays it back for you — the original is not touched
until you press Replace original, and closing the window keeps the original.

Export a recording as a GIF

One button in the player. Takes the first 30 seconds, uses a per-clip colour palette so flat UI
colours stay clean rather than turning to dithered mud.

Rebindable shortcuts

Settings now has a Shortcuts section covering all six global hotkeys — capture screen, region
and window, start/stop recording, pause/resume, and copy last. Click a field and press the
combination. If a key is already claimed by another application, SnapBuddy tells you which key it
fell back to instead of leaving one that silently does nothing.

Recording defaults

Settings now remembers whether the countdown, system audio and microphone start switched on.
Frame rate stays at 30 fps for now, so there is deliberately no control for it.

Smaller things

  • Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y (and Ctrl+Shift+Z) undo and redo in the annotation editor.
  • Space pauses and resumes from the recording pill.
  • The custom-colour picker is now the eighth swatch in the row, instead of a separate control.
  • The webcam bubble no longer stalls for a second and a half when a recording stops.

Known issues

  • The webcam bubble has not been tested against a real camera — there is no camera on the machine
    this was built on. It reports a missing or blocked camera in its own window rather than showing
    a black circle.
  • Recording more than one monitor at once is not supported yet; you can record one monitor, one
    window, or a region of one monitor.
