  • A floating capture window lets you take one capture after another
    without the editor opening each time. It's a small panel that stays on top
    of your other apps, so it's there when you need it and out of the way when
    you don't — useful on a laptop, where macOS sometimes has no room for the
    Sealshot icon in the menu bar. Open it from the button at the top right of
    the editor window, or from View › Floating Capture Window.

    The single button shows the kind of capture you used last, so repeating it
    is one click; the rest — Save As, full screen, delayed, scrolling, Live
    Capture and both recording options — are one click deeper, under the
    button. Your last few captures appear as thumbnails alongside a count, since
    the editor stays out of your way, and the ⤢ button brings the editor back
    whenever you want it.

    Drag the panel anywhere; guide lines show the edges it will snap to, and
    letting go near a corner parks it there. It dims while you're not using it
    and turns solid as soon as you point at it, remembers where it sits on each
    of your displays, and follows you to whichever screen your pointer is on.
    While Sealshot is locked the panel stays out of sight.

Performance

  • Selecting text on a capture is now instant even after quitting and
    reopening Sealshot. The text it finds is kept with the capture itself, so
    the reading only ever happens once — previously every relaunch started from
    scratch, which on an Intel Mac meant a wait of around ten seconds the first
    time you used Live Text or Find in Image on each capture. Captures
    with no text in them are remembered too, so those stop being re-read
    entirely. Editing a capture re-reads it, as it should.

Fixes

  • Find in Image keeps up with your typing. Sealshot used to search the
    capture again on every single letter, so an eight-letter word meant eight
    searches — seven of them for half-words you never wanted results for. It now
    waits for a brief pause before searching, matching how the Library search
    already behaves. Clearing the field still empties the results at once, and
    pressing Return still jumps to the next match for exactly what you typed.
    Most noticeable on Intel Macs and on large captures.

  • When you set an expiry date on a shared package, the calendar no longer
    offers dates that have already passed — picking one produced a package that
    arrived expired. An expiry now also lasts to the end of the day you
    pick, rather than to the time of day you happened to open the export panel,
    so "expires 20 August" means the whole of the 20th — and picking today gives
    the recipient the rest of today.

Privacy & Security

  • Fixed: on a library where Enhanced Security had been turned on once before
    and then turned off, turning it back on could stop halfway. Sealshot set up
    the new keys and reported the library as protected, but nothing was actually
    encrypted — every capture stayed readable on disk, and so did the plain
    search index holding text, titles and tags. A leftover key file from the
    earlier encrypted period was the cause; it is now discarded rather than
    treated as an error. If you have turned Enhanced Security on and the captures
    in your folder are still readable, turn it off and on again after updating.
