You can now pick the overlay position for each capture region, and compare a re-translation before it replaces the current one. Settings open from the side menu and are organized into tabs.
Overlay position per region
- In the Start Capture screen, pick a region and choose Near text, Bottom or Custom under "Translation display".
- The preview shows where the overlay will appear, so you can check it before you start.
- Fixed: a Custom position you drew moved every time you started.
- With two or more regions set to Bottom, the translations share one band under the game window.
- Quick translate remembers its own overlay position, separate from your games.
Compare before you overwrite
- Re-translating with Accuracy first or Cloud shows the current and the new translation side by side, and you choose whether to overwrite.
- Each Log line shows the model that translated it.
- Lines whose screenshot has expired can still be re-translated from their text.
- The Accuracy first model stays loaded for a while after a re-translation and switches back when you start playing.
Settings are easier to reach
- Open Settings from the bottom of the side menu or from the TOOLS menu.
- The Settings page has tabs: Region, Capture, Display, Learning and Method.
- The Learning tab gathers auto-save, explanation language, review counts and the reminder.
- The cards at the top of the Log still change the region, the overlay background and font size, and the method.
- Theme, font and UI scale moved to Advanced → App appearance.
- The Start Capture screen has two tabs: Screen, and Translation & behavior.
Other improvements
- Cursor Follow: set the frame by dragging with Redraw. Saved frames can be switched with a shortcut key while you play.
- If you draw a region over the Playto window or outside the game window, a warning with a Redraw button appears.
- A region outside the game window now shows at the edge of the preview, so you can select and redraw it.
- The Text reader & language screen lets you choose how Kanji-only lines are read.
- In the Guide, a First steps item opens its explanation first.
- Support is now in the side menu.
Fixes
- Bottom overlay text now scales with the game's text, and never goes below your font size setting.
- Fixed a GPU memory warning that could appear when there was enough VRAM.
- Fixed a renamed game still showing its old name in the Log and on Home.
- The Windows help cursor no longer appears over help icons.
