Read the historical PixPin 1.8.11 beta changelog, including features, settings, improvements, fixes, release notes, and original download information.

This is a historical beta changelog from the former website. Features, membership limits, shortcuts, and compatibility describe the release at that time. Illustrations are simplified diagrams of the relevant features. Original download links are preserved and may point to mainland China packages. See the manual for current instructions.

The former website did not specify a release date.

1.8.11 mainly enhances the functions of rectangular/elliptical annotation, adding controls for rotation, fillet, sector, arc, etc.

Features/settings

  • [Function] Rectangle annotation can be rotated and controlled to fillet
  • OutlineFrame content with lines. Adjust the line style and width.
  • FillFill the interior; lower opacity to show the image beneath.
  • Rounded cornersSquare handles resize; circular handles inside corners adjust rounding.
Choose between outlining content and filling an area, then adjust color, lines, and rounded corners.
  • [Function] Oval annotation can be rotated and adjusted to fan shape or arc shape
  • 1. Open a gapStart with the right circular handle and drag around the center.
  • 2. Adjust the sectorEdge circles set the start and span; the center circle sets the inner diameter.
  • 3. Cut out the middleDrag the center circle outward to make an annular sector.
  • 4. Make a ringSet the span to a full turn, keeping the hole in the middle.
Enlarged view: square handles resize; circular handles change the shape. The final panel hides the handles to show the result.
  • [Function] highlighter annotation adds mixed mode settings The previous algorithm of highlighter was Multiply. The Multiply algorithm would cause the color of highlighter to be inconspicuous on a dark background. Therefore, a translucent blending mode was added. Although the translucent blending mode is not as effective as Multiply in simulating highlighter, it is more obvious on a dark background.
  • MultiplyDefault: mixes the color with the content underneath.
  • TranslucentA lighter color overlays the underlying content.
Both sides use the same yellow; only blending changes. The background colors and brightness also affect the result.
  • [Settings] screenshot sound effect
The diagram shows sound settings. It does not play an actual sound.
  • [Settings] Add variables %title% to the save path: the title of the screenshot target window/pin, and the process name of the %process%screenshot target

Variables in the save path support variable modifiers '#' and '!'. # means to take only part of the characters before the variable. For example, "%title!10%" means to take only the first 10 characters of the title variable. ! means to remove the suffix of the variable. It is mainly used for process names. For example, "%process!%" means to remove the exe suffix of the process name.

Variables are expanded again when saving. Settings use PixPin as a sample title; screenshots use the source window for the selection. The remember-extension option is omitted. Time and window title are examples.
  • [Settings] screenshot - magnifying glass content, can be set: grid lines, cross lines, center frame lines, screenshot borders, screenshot control points, annotation, annotation control lines If the screenshot border in the magnifying glass blocks the content when fine-tuning the screenshot range, you can turn off the screenshot border in the magnifying glass in the settings.
Open the list with the color-format management button and save with OK. Only some magnifier options and three formats are shown; other formats are omitted and the bottom hint is simplified.
  • [Settings] Add format settings for pictures copied to the clipboard
The clipboard image format is configurable. Compatibility can differ between receiving applications.
  • [Settings] shortcut that can be set (enable/disable "Disable shortcut"), the shortcut will not be disabled when shortcut is disabled
  • [Settings] Added the setting to prohibit accepting drag and drop when pin is locked
  • [Settings] Click/double-click action, add "Open PixPin configuration" action, instead of only screenshot or pin
