SnapBuddy 0.6.7
SnapBuddy 0.6.7 — the first build shaped by real hands-on testing.
Everything here came out of actually using 0.6.6 rather than testing it. Updates itself from
0.6.0 or later.
Trimming now keeps what you trimmed
Trim has never once worked. You could set the handles, press Trim, watch the trimmed copy play
back correctly — and then nothing you pressed did anything, because the app had already thrown
away the result a fraction of a second earlier. Loading the preview quietly reset the very state
the buttons needed. "Replace original" was just as dead as everything else.
A trim now becomes its own card, marked with a red ✂ Trimmed badge, and the recording it was
cut from is left alone. Closing the preview keeps it rather than discarding it — there is an
explicit Discard trim if that is what you meant. Replace original is still there for
overwriting the source, but it is no longer the default button, because it is the only one that
cannot be undone.
Any timed annotations move with the cut instead of being dropped or left pointing at the wrong
moment.
Exact trim times, and handles that tell the truth
You can type the start and end directly — 4.5, 1:02.5, 62.5 all work. Handy when you know
the moment you want and dragging to it is fiddly.
The handles themselves were honest all along but looked like they could not reach the ends: the
value really was 0 while the handle sat slightly inside the track, and the bar never filled at the
end. On a trim that matters — you cannot tell whether you are about to clip a frame. They now
reach both edges.
Move works on every annotation
Arrow-with-text could not be moved by grabbing its label, only by the arrow itself. Every
annotation can now be dragged by any part of it.
The camera
Not mirrored any more by default. The preview used to be flipped while the recorded video never
was, so you framed yourself against something different from what came out. There is a Camera
section in Settings if you prefer the mirrored view — it only changes what you see; the recording
is never mirrored either way.
The bubble is also a proper circle now, and you can drag it where you want it. It was a filled
square that ignored being dragged.
A folder setting for recordings
Recordings, GIFs, trims and burn-ins have always gone to Videos\SnapBuddy with no way to change
it — separate from the card folder, which caused some confusion about where a GIF had gone.
There is now a Recordings folder setting. Leave it empty to keep the current location.
Changing it does not strand anything you have already recorded.
Smaller things
- Messages like "GIF saved" appeared behind the preview window and were unreadable.
- Saved paths no longer start with
\\?\.
Known issues
- The webcam bubble has now been seen working, but background blur and replacement are not built.
- Recording more than one monitor at once is still not supported: one monitor, one window, or a
region of one monitor. - Cloud upload remains groundwork only — off by default, no settings screen, storage not
connected.
If something misbehaves, %APPDATA%\com.snapbuddy.desktop\logs holds the current and previous run.
