Kapture v3.0.0 — Pixelate, Settings & Undo

The biggest editing update yet. Redact sensitive info, undo any mistake, and configure everything from a real Settings window — no config files, no flash.

✨ New

  • 🔲 Pixelate / redaction tool — drag over anything sensitive (emails, tokens, faces) to pixelate it. Pixelation is baked into the image as a committed layer, so it can't be peeled back off the exported PNG. The right way to redact.
  • ⚙️ Settings window — change the capture shortcut, save folder, and toggle auto-save right from the tray menu. No more editing main.py. Settings persist in ~/.config/kapture/config.json.
  • ↩️ Undo / Redo — full history for every annotation. Ctrl+Z to undo, Ctrl+Shift+Z to redo.

🛠️ Fixes & polish

  • Close button moved to the window's top-right corner — matches standard Ubuntu/GNOME window controls instead of sitting next to Save.
  • Selection drop shadow / accent glow — the captured region now lifts off the dimmed background so it's clearly distinct.
  • Print Screen fix — Kapture now reliably claims the Print Screen key instead of triggering GNOME's built-in screenshot, via single-instance IPC and a GNOME custom keybinding.
