ShareX 16.1.0

Version 16.1.0 of ShareX has been released. This open source program can capture both static and moving images, after which various operations can be performed. Once you are happy with the result, it can be saved to around eighty destinations, such as Flickr, Pastebin, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Amazon S3 and Streamable. The functionality can also be further expanded with self-written upload modules to also customize this part. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

• Update FFmpeg to version 7.0.
• Previously, releasing the Escape key would close the active window. Now, it will also check if the Escape key was initially pressed in the active window as well.
• Improved task icon detection in “Quick task menu”.
• Added “Cut out background color” option for image editor “Cut out” tool (by @flmbray).
• Browser extension host manifest files are now stored in app folder instead of DocumentsShareXTools folder.
• Improved update downloader progress text.
• Added “Enable browser extension support” option to setup.
• Google has forced us to use a more restrictive API scope (/auth/drive.file ) for Google Drive, which does not allow us to see files or folders anymore. Because of this, we cannot provide folder listing and selection support anymore.
  • However, there is a workaround. You can navigate to the Google Drive website in your browser, open the folder you want to upload to, and then copy the folder ID from the browser's address bar to “Folder ID” textbox.
