Release Notes

Performance, reliability, and interaction polish.

• Screenshot Retention Fix — The "Keep last N screenshots" setting now works correctly. Excess files are deleted from disk when the limit is exceeded.
• Rapid Capture Reliability — Taking screenshots in quick succession now saves every capture. Fixed filename collisions (millisecond + UUID suffix) and thread-safe history writes.
• Flash Effect Optimization — Screen flash reuses a single window instead of creating a new one each time. No more lag on rapid captures.
• Native Screenshot Sound — Replaced the generic "Tink" system sound with the real macOS screenshot shutter sound. Sound is debounced during rapid captures.
• Swipe-to-Dismiss Thumbnails — Drag the floating thumbnail to the right to dismiss it. The panel slides and fades in real-time, with snap-back if you don't drag far enough.
• Drag & Drop from Thumbnails — Drag a thumbnail to Finder, Desktop, or any app to copy the file. No longer accidentally opens the file after dropping.
• Cursor Fix — The pointing-hand cursor no longer gets stuck after interacting with thumbnails.
• History Grid Improvements — Enhanced hover effects with glow shadow and scale. Increased grid spacing. Drag-and-drop from history items to export files.
• Settings Singleton — All app components now share a single CaptureSettings instance, ensuring preference changes take effect immediately everywhere.

Customizable keyboard shortcuts and History view polish.

• Customizable Shortcuts — Change any hotkey in Preferences → Shortcuts. Click the recorder, press your preferred key combo, done.
• macOS Shortcut Override Guide — Built-in tip explaining how to replace ⌘⇧3/4 with CrispyShot, plus a one-click button to open System Settings.
• History Button Hover Effects — Action buttons (copy, reveal, delete) now scale up and highlight on hover.
• Tooltips — All History action buttons show descriptive tooltips on hover.
• Mini Toast Notifications — Visual feedback after copying, deleting, or clearing history.
• Reset to Defaults — One-click button to restore all shortcuts to factory defaults.

New floating thumbnail preview, screenshot history hotkey, and quality-of-life improvements.

• Floating Thumbnail Preview — After every capture, a macOS-native-style thumbnail slides in from the bottom-right. Click to open, drag to drop, swipe right to dismiss.
• Stacked Thumbnails — Take multiple screenshots in quick succession and up to 3 thumbnails stack with a smooth push-up animation. Configurable in Preferences (1–5).
• History Hotkey — Press ⌘⇧H to toggle the History window from anywhere. Press again to close.
• Configurable Stack Count — New "Max stacked thumbnails" stepper in Preferences → Behavior. Only visible when thumbnail preview is enabled.
• Window Management — History and Preferences windows now always open in front of other apps, even when CrispyShot runs as a menu bar app.
• Close on Hover — Thumbnail shows a close button (✕) in the top-right corner on hover.
• Auto-Dismiss Pause — Hovering over a thumbnail pauses the 5-second auto-dismiss timer.
