Greenshot: A screenshot tool optimized for productivity. Save a screenshot or a part of the screen to a file within a second. Supports several image formats. Apply text and shapes to the screenshot. Offers capture of window, region or full screenshot. CHANGE LOG: All details to our tickets can be found here: https://greenshot.atlassian.net # Release notes for Greenshot 1.3 Greenshot 1.3 is the first Greenshot which targets .NET 4.7.2 which just by doing to solves some general issues in the area of Internet Explorer capturing, TLS communication and some other minor issues. We've also added some new Windows 10 functions, like notifications, OCR and sharing with Windows 10 apps. ## Supported platforms: As always Greenshot comes "as-is" with no guarantee whatsoever, we are not paid enough to make this possible. Due to the amount of work involved in testing Greenshot on different platforms, and needing hardware to do so, we cannot support all of them. What does this mean? * Windows 10 "current" - We develop & test Greenshot on the latest available version of Windows 10, which means you can pretty much assume it works on there and if not we can work on it. * Windows 10 "previous" - We don't have the hardware to have all supported Windows versions side-by-side, we try to keep the compatibility high. If there are very Windows specific bugs, we can look at it. In general we add new Windows features with a check for the version, preventing issues with older versions. * Windows 10 insiders - If someone is on an insider, and wants to use Greenshot, there is no guarantee. But please do report issues, and make sure you mention the build you are on. As insiders are the next "current", we will try to look at this. * Windows 7 - this is no longer supported by Microsoft, and we will not buy extended support licenses for older Windows, we rather motivate people to upgrade to a normal supported version. It should still work on Windows 7, but we can't guarantee this and functionality will be degraded compared to that on Windows 10. * Windows 8 - Greenshot 1.2 mostly worked on it, thus we assume 1.3 will do so too, but we cannot support this. * Windows Server version XYZ- We do not have the hardware nor licenses to test on this, do so at your own risk. You can report issues, but we cannot support specific Windows Server issues, unless someone wants to pay for the time, hardware & licenses. * Linux via Wine or CrossOver - Although we made some small changes to Greenshot to get basics working, it's not supported and to be honest it's a lot of work to get it running, and the result is very disappointed. * MacOS - We have a version of Greenshot for MacOS in the appstore [here](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/greenshot/id1103915944). ## Support for other software? We have many request, mainly from companies in form of "we use an eMail client from this company, and have a tool which does this cool thing, can you support this?" This depends, if it's something which benefits the masses, we can look at it. An example is PowerToys, where we [interact with the maintainers](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/wiki/Application-Compatibility) to see how we can make Greenshot work together and not have PowerToys break us. We can't support all, and we cannot buy licenses & install every product. ## Let us see the changes: ### New features * The editor now has a zoom, completely build by our awesome community member @KillyMXI PR #201 * Windows 10 has out of the box OCR support, this can now be used from Greenshot. We added functionality which is on par with that we provided via an old Microsoft component called "MODI". To reduce our maintenance, we removed the old functionality. This is the first step with Windows 10 OCR, we have some great plans with this. * Greenshot can now use the Windows 10 app sharing, share screenshots with app which support bitmaps. * Greenshot now can use the Windows 10 notifications system, which looks better. We will add more user friendly functionality for this later. * [FEATURE-1110](https://greenshot.atlassian.net/browse/FEATURE-1110): Making it possible to use a hotkey to open the clipboard, for details look at the issue. ### General improvements: * Improved the about and error details with better version information, and OS name. * Upgraded the .NET Framework dependency to 4.7.2, any lower version would cause a lot of additional work and make the installer even bigger. * Used more recent versions of software components, which make it easier to find bugs. * DPI improvements, so people can use Greenshot with high DPI screens. * Made the selection boxes (grippers) bigger and reize with the DPI settings * Update check should have less impact with us and for the user * Added Italian to the installer, a lof of PR's from @bovirus e.g. PR #224, #230 * Added support to generate random characters in the filename PR #216 * Changed the cloud services Box, DropBox and Imgur to use the default browser in combination with getgreenshot.org instead of the embedded, solving incompatibility issues. ### Bug fixes #### Functionality fixes: * [BUG-2693](https://greenshot.atlassian.net/browse/BUG-2693), [BUG-2693](https://greenshot.atlassian.net/browse/BUG-2693), [BUG-2743](https://greenshot.atlassian.net/browse/BUG-2743): Greenshot doesn't recoginize a MAPI client * [BUG-2535](https://greenshot.atlassian.net/browse/BUG-2535): Greenshot selects invisible windows fix was suggested by Raymond Chen [here](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20200302-00/?p=103507) * [BUG-2544](https://greenshot.atlassian.net/browse/BUG-2544): Enabled TLS1.1 & 1.2 to fix jira connectivity and do not use the JIRA session support as this was deprecated. * [BUG-2529](https://greenshot.atlassian.net/browse/BUG-2529): This should most likely fix the excessive update checks. * [BUG-1919](https://greenshot.atlassian.net/browse/BUG-1919): Screenshot works once on Internet Explorer * [BUG-1943](https://greenshot.atlassian.net/browse/BUG-1943): Picassa no longer supported by Google -

Changes: * Optimized Greenshots update check to use even less traffic by checking the time-stamp of the update feed before downloading it. * JIRA: With JIRA 6.x using the SOAP (Webservice) API the access has gotten really slow, we improved the performance slightly by loading some information parallel. (In Greenshot 2.x we will move to another API.) * Dynamic destination context-menu: If a destination has child items the parent is still selectable and executes the default export, we now no longer repeat the parent in the children. * Dynamic destination context-menu: We are now leaving the sorting to the destination code, this allows us to e.g. show the default printer on top of the list. Bugs Resolved: * BUG-1559, BUG-1643: Repeating hotkeys are now prevented. * BUG-1610: Image editor: 'Obfuscate' and 'Highlight' and more, now should rotate / resize correctly. * BUG-1619: Image editor: Autocrop now also considers the elements. * BUG-1620: Greenshot crashing Chrome running in 'Windows 8 Mode' * BUG-1653: Accessibility issues: Editor "File" menu entry can't be activated and missing translations * BUG-1667: removed horizontal alignment of textbox in input mode, as it caused problems with textbox focus and could not be implemented consistently anyway (no vertical alignment possible) * BUG-1671: Fixed error that occurred when double-clicking systray icon before the first time a screenshot was saved to file * BUG-1686: Shadow (drop shadow or torn edge) grows if a filter (highlight etc) is used and an element is moved around * BUG-1688: While drawing a textbox there are black vertical lines inside * BUG-1695: Fixed an issue with processing the response from Imgur, which caused the error "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: key" * BUG-1699: UI jumps when Textbox or SpeechBubble tools are selected, and changing to another tool. (also the other way around) * BUG-1700: IE capture only works once * BUG-1709: Alignment of the text and speech-bubble wasn't always correctly saved in the .greenshot file * BUG-1710: After resizing the canvas the edges had a slightly different color (1px) * BUG-1719: color dialog didn't accept HTML color names ... and a lot more small bug fixes to make Greenshot more stable. Languages: * New language: Latvian (thanks to Kārlis Kalviškis for providing the translation) * Updates for Ukrainian, Japanese and Italian translation 1.1.9.13-g01ce82d Windows 8.1 & Box bug-fix Release Bugs resolved: * BUG-1604, BUG-1631, BUG-1634: Capture problems since update to Windows 8.1 with multiple displays * BUG-1627: Box upload failed since 1.1.8 * Unreported: The greenshot.ini values "NoGDICaptureForProduct" and "NoDWMCaptureForProduct" had incorrect defaults, which might cause issues with some applications when using the auto capture mode. Features: * FEATURE-697: Added the possibility to replace characters/strings when a pattern is used, to have more control over the resulting filename. E.G. ${title:r ,_} will cause all the spaces to be replaced by underscores. * FEATURE-712: The amount of colour which images are reduce to, if the setting is active, has been made configurable in the greenshot.ini property OutputFileReduceColorsTo.

Sticking to descriptive text like "bottom left", which is more useful anyway. * BUG-1581: Ini-file reading is now done without locking the file, this should help a bit in cases where other applications have this file open. * BUG-1600: Found that Greenshot uses a wrong URL format on the clipboard, this fix might solve some issues * Bug: When capturing client windows on a DWM enabled system (Vista & Windows 7) with "auto" set, sometimes the capture had a blurred/transparent effect. * Bug: Couldn't export to an Outlook 2013 reply which is being edited in the preview pane Features: * FEATURE-663: dark background for textbox input when editing bright-colored text * FEATURE-667: destinations with subdestinations can now be clicked to invoke the "main" subdestination Languages: * Updates for Swedish translation and help, new Swedish translations for plugins and installer * Improvements for German translation and help * BUG-1608: Fixed typo in French translation 1.1.7 build 17 Bugfix Release Changes: * We moved our repository to BitBucket (GIT), this forced us to change the build script and the version Bugs resolved (for bug details go to http://sourceforge.net/p/greenshot/bugs and search on the ID): * BUG-1517: (now it is really fixed) export to Microsoft Word always goes to the last active Word instance. * BUG-1589, BUG-1584 System.NullReferenceException * BUG-1574: AccessException when loading plugins Features: * Changed the Box plug-in to use the new V2 API, which is mandatory from 13.12.2013.

People should now exit Greenshot before modifying this file manually. Improvements: * Printouts are now rotated counter-clockwise instead of clockwise, for most people this should be preferable (#1552) 1.1.5 build 2643 Bugfix Release Bugs resolved (for bug details go to http://sourceforge.net/p/greenshot/bugs and search on the ID): * BUG-1510: Under Windows Vista when trying to apply a drop-shadow or a torn-edge effect a GDIPlus error occurs. * BUG-1512, BUG-1514: Will not print color * Not reported: Annotations where not visible when exporting to Office destinations after writing in the Greenshot format. * Not reported: Removed the update check in Greenshot for PortableApps Languages: * New translation: Estonian * Updated translations: Russian, Polish and Italian * New installer translation: Ukrainian * New plugin translations: Polish 1.1.4 build 2622 Release Features added: * General: Added zoom when capturing with a option in the settings for disabling the zoom.
