SnapTray 1.0.68

October 12, 2026 · View on GitHub

Added

  • Added Linux AppImage update checks and signed downloads, with restart-to-install and recovery to the previous version. Linux releases now include AppImageUpdate-compatible metadata and zsync files.
  • Added Linux X11 full-screen recording with microphone/system audio, recording preview, crop/trim, and MP4, GIF, and WebP exports. Hardware encoding is available through VA-API/NVENC with software fallback, and AppImages bundle the required media libraries.
  • Added recording preview cropping, including window highlighting and click-to-snap using the windows recorded at that moment.

Improved

  • Preview recordings use a high-quality intermediate when disk space permits, preserving detail during trimming and cropping before export at the selected quality. Unedited recordings that already meet the selected quality are saved directly.
  • Linux recording captures frames in the background and keeps recording controls in the tray so floating controls are excluded from captures.
  • Unified image copying from the graphical interface across macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Fixed

  • Fixed MP4 trimming with audio and exports of intervals after the source audio ends; failed or cancelled exports preserve the original recording.
  • Fixed small crop selections, final pointer positions, and cropped export filenames; restored the Windows preview title bar and improved frame stepping and video frame handling.
  • Allowed region capture, quick pin, and screen canvas use while recording preview is open.
  • Preserved live annotation edits when navigating capture history and made the eraser take priority over object selection and editing.
  • Fixed aspect-ratio and rounded-size behavior when resizing regions, pinned-window controls on multiple screens, and the click-through exit button.
  • Reduced Linux pinned-window drag stutter, kept canvas bounds stable while dragging toolbars, and fixed CLI installation detection and autostart for paths containing special characters.
  • Fixed Windows window-title and application-name filename tokens, macOS Debug app launches, and Windows installer signing failure handling.
