Added

  • Window snap beautify with native chrome — snapping a window now captures it independently (with transparent corners) and renders it on the gradient background using the real window chrome instead of a synthetic title bar.
  • "Copy to clipboard" recording option — new post-recording action in both the toolbar popover and Preferences. GIF recordings copy inline data; MP4 copies the file URL.
  • "Open from Clipboard" menu item — paste an image from the clipboard directly into the editor.
  • Quick capture mode dropdown — replaced the "Auto-copy to clipboard" checkbox with a 3-option dropdown: Save / Copy / Save+Copy.

Changed

  • Auto-measure: click to commit — holding 1/2 shows a live preview that follows the cursor; click to place the measurement, release the key to dismiss. Previously committed on key release, causing accidental placements.
  • Auto-measure performance — cached bitmap context and helper text size to eliminate per-frame allocations during mouse tracking.
  • Options row centering in editor — the tool options bar now centers correctly relative to the editor container, not the document view.

Fixed

  • Clipboard copy pastes as JPG in browsers — clipboard now explicitly sets PNG data instead of using NSImage's default TIFF representation, matching native macOS screenshot behavior. Previously, apps like browsers would interpret the TIFF as JPG.
  • Save button not applying beautify/effects — the Save toolbar button now applies post-processing (effects, beautify) before saving, matching the confirm flow.
  • Preferences toolbar actions layout — split the tools list into "Bottom Toolbar Actions" and "Right Toolbar Actions" sections matching their actual positions.
