Fourteen fixes and features since 0.5.0 — mostly the things the first release made obvious.

The clothesline

  • Reaching it with the pointer — the line only drops when the pointer is at the very top of the display now. With the menu bar set to hide itself, the old trigger covered a band macOS does not draw, so the line fell while the pointer was on its way to click something else.
  • Hover previews — a drag no longer kills the preview for that sheet, and moving along the line no longer loses every preview after the first. The black card behind the picture is gone; a shadow lifts it instead, so a screenshot's rounded corners stay transparent.
  • Speed — a 5K preview took ~190 ms to decode on the main thread, on every hover. Decoding moved off the main thread and results are cached.
  • Hints — the type sits on a dark pill so it survives a busy background, and it quotes whatever the shortcuts are actually bound to instead of ⌃⌥X forever.
  • New sheets — a capture is now seen hanging itself on the rope: the line comes down first, then the sheet drops and swings.

Annotating

  • Hovering a tool names it and its digit (马赛克 7); the bar is centred on the selection instead of pinned to its left edge.
  • Mark size is adjustable — wheel, [ ], or − 粗细 4 + in the bar, switching to 字号 for text. The mark you just drew follows the change, so the number and the picture agree; before, you had to draw something to find out and then live with it.
  • Captions can be picked up and dragged, ⏎ inside one finishes the snip, and a click with a tool active no longer discards the selection.
  • A plain click anywhere no longer collapses the frame — only a drag starts a new one.

Capturing

  • Displays are captured in parallel, and the settle before freezing is skipped when the line is not up.
  • ⌃⌥L — long capture has its own shortcut instead of hiding behind L inside a snip.
  • ⇧ with a snip keeps Peg's own windows in the frame, for photographing Peg.

Recording

The GIF frame is a rounded outline with a soft halo and a marching hairline, instead of a hard 3 pt red box.
