Software update: HyperSnap 9.00.00

Hyperionics has released version 9.0 of HyperSnap. This program allows you to take screenshots of the entire screen, of a window or of a portion of the screen of your choice. There is also an autoscroll function, which allows you to take screenshots of windows that are larger than the screen, for example of a web page. In addition, images can be edited. Arrows, circles and text can be added. The most important improvements made in version 9 are listed below:

New Features in Version 9

• Auto Backup – All new screen captures, and all images that you edit in HyperSnap, are automatically backed up in the backup folder, and kept there for several days (by default 7 days) before being auto-deleted to free space. No more lost screenshots or image edits on accidental exit of the program, system crash, power outage etc. See more under the File menu – Auto Backup.
• Snap to vertices and segment middles when drawing lines, arrows, rectangles, polygons etc., by holding down the Ctrl key. Shift key may be held down too to limit drawing to horizontal, vertical or 45 degree angles.
• Arrow drawing has a “polyline” mode, which lets you draw a series of connected lines as one object, ending with an arrowhead.
• Text and callout object have new option to center text vertically in the box.

The following long deprecated features from older versions were removed:

• The old menu and toolbars interface is now removed. The new ribbon interface is the only one available.
• Voice commands are removed. They were never widely used.
