This update is for Windows and Linux.
Linux catches up with Windows
- "Cursor Follow" now works on KDE Plasma (Wayland). The frame follows the mouse pointer inside the game window.
- On KDE Plasma (Wayland), the capture frames are now shown on the game while you place a region.
- Translations stay on the text after you change the display scale.
- The bar now starts with translations next to the text, as on Windows.
Adjust the Cursor Follow frame anywhere
- "Adjust frame" opens the same screen from the pre-start dialog, the bar and the shortcut.
- Drag to set the frame's size, then move it with the arrows to choose where it reads from the pointer.
- New frames sit a little above the pointer, so the text is not under the cursor.
- Each game keeps its own frame after a restart.
- The ? next to "Capture area" explains the steps with a picture.
- The cursor preview in the pre-start dialog moves with the pointer and shows how far the frame is from it.
Start "Review on your phone" from Learn
- Learn › "Top" has a "Review on your phone" button. It shows the QR code right away.
- On the phone, words at your learning level come first.
Other improvements
- Fixed switching from Playto Cloud back to "This PC" trying to load a model that was never downloaded. Playto now uses the model you have and says so.
- Fixed deleting a game in the list sometimes removing the one in use.
- Messages over the game now appear at the top centre of the game window, on the monitor the game is on.
- The "Engine" tab shows how the screen becomes a translation, and a stopped engine can be started there.
- The "Engine" and "Learning" tabs in Settings are easier to read.
- Fixed a paragraph that wraps over several lines being read as a menu.
- Text-heavy screens time out less often with PP-OCR.
