Bug fixes:
- The code that positions the recorders was improved.
- Two buttons were being displayed at the KeyStrokes editor, one got removed.
- The progress indicator value (for the percentage, without showing the total) was wrong.
- If you tried to apply a caption with just spaces, the app would crash. Now a warning appears, explaining that you need to type something.
- Improved the "FFMpeg/Gifski is not present" warning.
- When clicking to save the project as multiple images, without zipping and pressing "No" right after a prompt appeared, the Save/Cancel buttons of the panel would be disabled.
- The framerate of the encoder 2.0 could be wrong by an offset of 9ms.
- When importing a translation, the "new lines" were not being correctly identified.
- When using relative paths such as "." for the temporary folder, an error would appear.
- When trying to crop, the app could crash (because of a high DPI issue).
- When selecting a screen region (using the new recorder UI), the app could crash (also a high DPI issue).
- The slide transition was getting the amount of frames from a wrong slider (this caused a crash when undoing the transition).
- When entering snapshot mode with the recorder UI, without having any region selected and pressing "Record", the app would crash. Now it prompts for a region of the screen to be selected.
- Editing the key strokes of the last frame was not possible. The key input was being ignored.
- When a screen gets disconnected, all Editor windows will be moved to an available screen.
- When cancelling the selection of the compression method used by the system encoder (video export), the app would crash.
- When using the "Remove duplicates" feature, the option to conserve the total delay of the removed frames was not working when selecting the option to remove the first duplicate frame.
- When using the "Remove duplicates" feature, trying to undo the previous action that had no frames to be removed, a crash would happen.
- Pressing "Stop" when a the pre-starter countdown is still active was not really stopping it.
Known Bugs:
- Using an automated task to add the key strokes will still use the color and font settings from the main settings.
