WinSitch 0.1.2

What's new in 0.1.2

• Esc cancels a capture. Pressing Escape now cleanly exits the capture overlay without grabbing anything — a single press, from any point in the selection.
• Settings in the editor toolbar. A new gear button in the top toolbar opens Settings, right where you're working — no need to go back to the tray icon.
• Multi-capture tabs. Take another shot with New Capture and it opens as a tab in the same editor window. Ctrl+W or middle-click closes a tab, and each unsaved tab gets its own save prompt. A single capture looks exactly as before.
• Refined the Arrow tool icon.

Every capture still copies to the clipboard automatically (toggle in Settings ▸ Capture).

What's new in 0.1.1

• First-run welcome window — a fresh install now greets you with the hotkey and where to find the tray icon (Windows 11 hides new tray icons in the ^ overflow — the welcome tells you)
• "Already running" toast — launching the exe while WinSitch is running now says so instead of silently exiting
• Editor windows remember their size — reopens with the dimensions you last closed with; the capture shows at 100% when it fits, otherwise zooms to fit
• Every capture is copied to the clipboard automatically (on by default, configurable)

Full feature list: see v0.1.0 and the README.
