ScreenToGif v. 2.14x - Bildschirminhalte als animiertes GIF

[Jean]

ScreenToGif ist ein kleines, nettiges und portables Programm, um die allseits beliebten animierten GIFs zu erstellen. Als Quelle dient dabei - wie der Name
erahnen läßt - der Desktop.

Die GUI ist unüblich : einfach ein zieh-und zupfbarer Rahmen, der den Desktop durchscheinen läßt - genau diese Fläche wird dann mittels Start/Stop auf-
genommen ... grobschlächtige Nutzer können das Fenster auch per px-Angabe skalieren. Im Frame-Editor kann man dann Einzelbilder löschen (für die Wankel-
mütigen mit Undo) oder aus Bildern neu einfügen oder Filter anwenden (nur via Kontextmenü). Bei den Filtern ist dem Entwickler aber das ganze Gezappel
nicht bekommen - ein eher befremdliches Bedienungskonzept: zuerst wählt man die Frames, dann, hm, ähm, achso ... Kontextmenü, Filter wählen, Stärke
wählen ... und nu? Hm. Naja, irgendwann wird das Bildchen abgespeichert. Fertig ist das Weihnachtsgeschenk.

Erfahrene GIF-Produzenten können FPS ändern, die Kompressionsstufen und Wiederholungen steuern, das Tool selber kann auch auf Hotkey reagieren ...
und Gordon freut sich bannig, wenn ihr ihm eure gelungensten Werke schickt!

What's new in version 2.11:

APNG support (for saving).
Added the option of copying the output file/filename/folder after the encoding.
Added the option of running post encoding commands.
Added the Obfuscate feature. It's used to pixelate a region of the image.
You can now use FFmpeg or Gifski to save your gif.
Added the option of uploading the gif to Imgur or Gfycat. (Experimental feature)

Updated the Russian and Chinese (Simplified) translations.
You can now download FFmpeg and Gifski directly using the app. Head over to Options > Extras to download it.
It's now possible to press the enter key to load the selected project from the table of recent projects.

Bug fixes:
Images with high dpi (for example, 600dpi) were not displayed correctly.
Clicking on 'Recent Projects' if the temporary folder does not exist would give an error.
After changing the delay of frames, the Statistics tab was not updating.
When opening a project (or any other file) via drag and drop on top of the executable (or link) or via the "Open with..." context menu, the app was opening the startup window instead of the editor.
While using the new recorder, if the record button was pressed without a screen region selected, an error was happening. Now it will enter the selection mode.
While clicking on the link to open the file that already exists for types other than Gif, it was only opening the gif file.

♦ The slide transition was getting the amount of frames from a wrong slider (this caused a crash when undoing the transition).

♦ Editing the key strokes of the last frame was not possible. The key input was being ignored.

♦ When cancelling the selection of the compression method used by the system encoder (video export), the app would crash.
♦ When using the 'Remove duplicates' feature, the option to conserve the total delay of the removed frames was not working when selecting the option to remove the first duplicate frame.
♦ When using the 'Remove duplicates' feature, trying to undo the previous action that had no frames to be removed, a crash would happen.
♦ Pressing 'Stop' when a the pre-starter countdown is still active was not really stopping it.

[klodeckel]

v2.14.1
