[Release][v1.41.0] Record screenshot
Welcome to v1.41.0. This release adds a feature I've wanted for a while now (but likely no one else wanted). This release adds the ability to record an advanced screenshot.
In some cases, posts and comments can contain animated GIFs. When taking screenshots of these, context may be lost because the GIF animation is removed. The record screenshot feature allows users to take a recording of a screenshot, preserving animated GIFs in posts or comments. The feature allows you to record a screenshot as either a GIF, MP4 or WEBM and contains a lot of configurable settings.
Note that this feature currently does not work for videos (eg. MP4s) in posts because the video player renders these in a specialized way that cannot be captured by the method used by the app.
Full changelog
- Added a feature to "record" a screenshot as a video or GIF.
- Added option to mark a post as read/unread in the post option's menu.
- Changed long tap on the header, expand button or the side to expand actions as well.
- Fixed a bug where links are invisible in conversations.
That's incredibly cool
Easily the best client.
I hope "dim read post" is added some day.
Hmm I thought I added this to the roadmap but I must have forgotten. I've added it now.
Thank you!
What do you mean? My read posts are definitely dimmed.
Only the post title is dimmed but not the image or the post content.
+1 for Dim Read Post
Interesting feature, any gif communities recommended to try it out? 😀
LOL I don't think the majority of people will ever use this feature. This is honestly just a feature I want to use so I implemented it. I'll implement more general features in the next release :P.
Totally fair, nothing wrong in making YOUR client as good as you want it to be, I am now actually curious what other features you'll like to adapt 🤣
I really like the ability to merge communities into one feed. Do you think Lemmy will ever make something like hierarchical/multi-topic communities a thing?
I'm thinking like:
linux linux.general linux.newinstall linux.hardware
..subscribing to 'linux' gets you all subfeeds (including ones added later) except for what you filter out. But you could also just subscribe to one or two of them, excluding the rest (and new sibling subcommunities).
I know this isn't your choice, and you have a different codebase. I'm just wondering your opinion on if you think something like that could realistically make it into the Lemmy codebase.
