Release notes

Filename on hover

Hold Option while hovering over an image to reveal its complete filename in a floating capsule below the image. The label remains upright and readable at every canvas zoom level and stays within the current window.

Image actions

  • Images now have a right-click context menu with:
  • Rotate Clockwise
  • Rotate Counterclockwise
  • Flip Horizontal
  • Flip Vertical
  • Reveal in Finder

The same commands are available from the Selection menu. Right-clicking an image outside the current selection selects only that image; right-clicking an already selected image preserves the group.

New shortcuts:

  • ⌘R — Rotate Clockwise
  • ⇧⌘R — Rotate Counterclockwise
  • ⌘F — Flip Horizontal
  • ⇧⌘F — Flip Vertical

Transforms are saved with the board, leave the original files unchanged, and can be reversed with ⌘Z using the existing capped history.

Built-in update checks

ImageCanvas can now check the latest stable GitHub Release from ImageCanvas → Check for Updates…. Checks occur only when requested—there are no background requests, credentials, or telemetry.

For automatic installation, ImageCanvas verifies:

  • GitHub’s published SHA-256 digest
  • the ImageCanvas bundle identifier
  • the release version and build
  • the app bundle and executable structure
  • the ad-hoc signature structure

A writable installation can be replaced and reopened automatically. The updater keeps an exact backup during replacement and restores it if the swap or relaunch fails. Translocated, read-only, or otherwise unwritable copies fall back to manual installation through GitHub without requesting administrator privileges.
Releases are not notarized or independently signed. GitHub supplies both the archive and its digest; the verification protects against transfer corruption or mismatched assets, but it is not independent publisher authentication.

Compatibility and updating

  • macOS 14 or later
  • Built with Xcode 27 beta 3
  • Version 0.5.0

Moving to 0.5.0 is a one-time manual installation. Built-in updating is available for subsequent releases.
