New release, 1.0.1, coming this week

We have a very large update coming to Page Shot in the next few days. You can see the changes in the long changelog:

We hope you enjoy using Page Shot, and let us know what you would like to see for the future!

Here are the top changes you might all notice:

  • For each release we’ll be adding one to the next version (i.e., the version after this will be Version 2)
  • There is a “Save Full Page” and “Save visible” option for saving either the full length of the page, or the entire visible portion of the page.
  • The add-on now automatically copies the shot URL to the clipboard.
  • The autoselection when you click will now be previewed with a white box as you hover.
    • Also improvements to the autoselection algorithm, avoiding very small selections.
  • Some URLs were being rejected: those with ports, view-source URLs, and URLs in some situations where the content was cached.
  • Search on My Shots is now done as you type.
  • Improvements to the selection itself:
    • You can drag the selection
    • You can invert the selection when resizing
    • You can drag out a new selection over the old selection
  • In some error conditions Page Shot would become unresponsive on a tab.
  • Page Shot authentication could be lost (for instance with a cookie destroying add-on). We now attempt to re-login if we detect the cookies are gone.

1.0.1 is now released. Enjoy!
