New

  • Arrows can taper. A tapered arrow is widest at its head and narrows away
    to the tail, which reads as a stroke of the pen rather than a drawn shape —
    it is the default for new arrows. Double-headed arrows taper from wide to
    narrow across their length, dashed arrows taper too, and freehand arrows stay
    an even width. Switch any arrow between Tapered and Uniform with the
    Shaft control, which appears both in the arrow tool's settings and on the
    panel for an arrow you have selected.

  • A personal licence now covers three Macs, up from two.

  • Extract Structured Data results now have a Text tab alongside the
    formatted views, and a Markdown tab showing the raw markdown — the tabs
    sit centred across the top of the window.

  • The floating capture window can be pinned or unpinned. It has always sat
    on top of everything; unpin it and other windows cover it, which is what you
    want when it is in the way but you are not done with it. An unpinned panel
    comes back with the editor — bring the editor forward and the panel is there
    again.

  • The floating capture window has a close button, so you can dismiss it
    without going back to the editor. Closing it there is the same as switching it
    off from the editor: the button in the editor's toolbar updates, and it stays
    closed next time you open Sealshot.

  • Drag a capture straight out of the floating window — to Finder, to Mail,
    anywhere — the same as you can from the strip along the bottom of the editor.

  • Tuck the floating window away: drag it past any screen edge and it
    collapses to a slim line hugging that edge, with an arrow pointing back into
    the screen. Click the line — or pull it right off the edge — to bring the
    window back. Dragging the line around near the edges just moves it, without
    popping the window open.

  • The floating window's thumbnails now mirror your three newest captures,
    videos included (marked with a play badge). Capture from anywhere — the
    editor, a keyboard shortcut, the menu bar — and the new capture appears;
    delete a capture, even in Finder, and its thumbnail goes away. The floating
    window and the editor's strip always agree on what's there.

  • The editor window shrinks properly now. It used to stop while still
    nearly a thousand points wide, because every tool button had to stay on
    screen. Drag it narrow and related buttons now tuck themselves into small
    menus instead — the capture modes gather under Capture, the two recording
    buttons pair up, the AI actions share one button, and the drawing tools group
    the way Arrow and Shape already do. Nothing is taken away: everything is one
    click further, and it all comes straight back as you widen the window. The
    zoom controls along the bottom do the same, so the editor now works at little
    more than half its old minimum width.

Fixes

  • Dragging captures onto a collection works again — whether you drag one
    capture or a whole selection, they land in the collection instead of
    springing back.
  • Dragging a capture out of the Library into another app works again.
    Dropping onto Terminal, or anywhere that expects a plain file, no longer
    bounces back.
  • Duplicating a capture twice now gives you "copy 2" rather than
    "copy copy", and duplicating again continues counting.
  • Wide results scroll sideways in the Extract Structured Data window. A
    table wider than the window had no way to be read; there is now a horizontal
    scroll bar, and it stays out of the way when everything already fits.
  • Focus-area corner handles can be dragged again in Live Capture. Grabbing
    a corner used to move the window layer underneath instead of resizing the
    focus area, and the cursor now previews which one you are about to get.
  • Clicking the Sealshot icon in the Dock no longer throws away the tab you
    were on. It used to jump you to Editor every time, so a click meant to
    bring the window forward while you were part-way through the Library or
    Settings lost your place. A Dock click now simply brings the window to the
    front, leaving it exactly as you left it — and if you had closed the window,
    it comes back on the tab it was showing. Starting Sealshot afresh still opens
    on the Editor.
  • The floating capture window's ⤢ button no longer jumps you to the Editor tab.
    Like clicking the Dock icon, it now simply brings the window back the way you
    left it.
  • The floating capture window's buttons now explain themselves. Every control
    had a label written for it, but none ever appeared, because the panel is
    designed never to take focus and the tooltips only showed while Sealshot was
    the active app — which, when you are working from the panel, it never is.
