Added
- Added accessible empty-state guidance with image, directory, and drag-and-drop entry points when Labelme launches without input (#2524)
- Merge selected Mask Shapes sharing one Label into a single Mask Shape via Edit > Merge Shapes or the canvas context menu, preserving every mask pixel in exports; one Undo restores the inputs. (#2684)
Changed
- AI Assist point previews reuse predictions across repaints and keep the previous preview visible while updating. (#2610)
- Refreshed Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Turkish interface translations. (#2618)
- Use native step arrows and text alignment for the zoom percentage control. (#2642)
- Clarify the rectangle drawing hint to explain holding Shift for a square. (#2643)
- Reword the image embedding and vertex removal actions, with the new labels translated in every language. (#2649)
- Clarify file-dialog captions and the prompt for unsaved annotation changes in all supported languages. (#2650)
- Clarify the
--label-flagsCLI help: the value is a YAML mapping from a label regex to its flag names, given inline or as a path to a YAML/JSON file. (#2652) - Refine Polish and Vietnamese guidance for configuration-loading errors. (#2666)
- Refine Dutch, Polish, and Vietnamese wording for the AI text-prompt hint. (#2668)
- Refine the label list tooltip wording. (#2670)
Removed
- Remove the right-drag copy/move gesture and its "Copy here"/"Move here" menu from the canvas. To copy a shape to a new position, use Copy and Paste or Duplicate, then left-drag it into place. (#2675)
Fixed
- AI Text Prompt reports errors during Shape generation instead of closing the app. (#2611)
- Keep point shapes inside the image when dragging them together with other shapes while out-of-bounds points are disallowed. (#2613)
- Recalculate Fit to Window and Fit to Width after resizing docks or navigating between images, while preserving saved pan and scroll positions during navigation. (#2634)
- Improved accessible names for AI and zoom controls and aligned accessible brightness and contrast values with the displayed percentages. (#2639)
- Preserve typed shape labels when tabbing into suggestions or opening a label with a case-insensitive match, while applying explicit mouse and keyboard choices before acceptance. (#2640)
- Allow users to override Qt's image allocation limit when opening large images that remain within the raster engine's supported dimensions. (#2648)
- Reduce coordinate rounding drift while dragging shapes. (#2657)
- Keep Save As available for images with no shapes, and update Hide, Show, and Toggle Shapes availability after loading, deleting, undoing, or closing annotations. (#2660)
- Keep the active drawing tool's button consistent when loading or saving images, and disable image-dependent controls when no image is open. (#2661)
- Update Delete File availability when carrying annotations to another image and after automatic saving. (#2662)
- Keep the last valid filename search active and show an inline error when a regular expression is invalid. (#2663)
- Undo no longer reverts an earlier saved label, flag, group id or description edit together with the change being undone. (#2667)
- Clarify the Turkish wording of the configuration error dialog. (#2672)
- Undo no longer clears a newly created shape's group id and description together with the change being undone. (#2677)
- Undo is available right after reordering shapes in the Label List. (#2682)
- Dragging a row in the Label List no longer replaces the moved shape with a copy. (#2683)
- Show insertion lines between shapes when reordering the shape list instead of highlighting shapes as drop targets. (#2685)
