v2.5.0
Drag files straight in, and uploads that survive a bad connection
Drop files onto the window
- Drag an image or a video anywhere onto the QuickSnip window to import it. Dropping onto the tray icon has worked for a while; now the window itself takes them too.
- If you drop something mid-recording it tells you why it can't take it, instead of appearing to do nothing.
Uploads that survive a bad connection
- A single dropped connection used to end an entire upload. Parts now retry with a backoff of roughly one second, then three, then seven.
- If your laptop slept past the upload link's expiry, QuickSnip signs a fresh one and carries on rather than failing the whole recording.
Transcripts that recover on their own
- Transcription now runs through a callback with a watchdog behind it, so a transcript that stalls gets picked up and retried instead of never arriving.
More improvements
- New cookbook recipe for recording your screen with the computer's audio, plus one on getting a recording into a form an AI agent can read.
- quicksnip agents install now rejects an unknown --target instead of quietly setting up the wrong editor. Update with npx quicksnip@latest.
