Find what each plugin saves in its own folder in the Keybumps folder, keep every screenshot and recording in ScreenGrabs with a copy where macOS saves them as before, and reopen Settings where you left it.
The Keybumps folder4 changes
- Each plugin that saves files keeps them in its own folder in the Keybumps folder, Library › Application Support › Keybumps in your home folder. Finder hides Library, so Settings › General shows the folder, with Show in Finder.
- When you open beta.31, it moves what you have into those folders: your dictations from Documents › Keybumps, recordings still in Documents › Keybumps › captures, and everything that was loose in the Keybumps folder, such as Clipboard History, snippets, and Dictation's downloaded models. Documents › Keybumps goes away once nothing else is in it.
- Nothing is deleted or written over. A file leaves its old place only once it's in its new one, and one that can't move yet stays where it is, still in use, until a later launch moves it.
- If iCloud Drive syncs your Documents folder, your dictations and older recordings stop syncing once they move, and your other Macs no longer see them in Documents › Keybumps.
ScreenGrabs keeps everything in the Keybumps folder6 changes
- Every screenshot and recording you take with ScreenGrabs is saved in the Keybumps folder's screengrabs folder, and that's what the ScreenGrabs tab and Clipboard History's screenshots show. Screenshots you take with macOS's own tools are copied in too, while Clipboard History is on.
- A copy of each still goes where macOS saves screenshots, the Desktop unless you've changed it, as before. The copy is yours: moving or deleting it, such as by clearing your Desktop, leaves the screengrab in ScreenGrabs. Edits you make later to a recording from the ScreenGrabs tab don't change its copy.
- When you open beta.31, ScreenGrabs copies the screenshots and recordings you already have into its folder. The files where they were, such as on your Desktop, stay.
- Settings › ScreenGrabs no longer has the Screenshots folder and Recordings folder rows. A folder you chose there is no longer used, and what's in it stays.
- The ScreenGrabs tab lists every screenshot, no longer just the newest 50. Clipboard History keeps all your screenshots, apart from its newest 50 other items.
- In the ScreenGrabs tab, Delete and Clear All move a screenshot's file in the Keybumps folder to the Trash, where they used to leave it. Deleting a screenshot or recording there leaves its copy where macOS saves screenshots. Show in Finder shows its file in the Keybumps folder.
Settings3 changes
- Permission rows, on Settings › Permissions and on each plugin's page, have shorter buttons: Allow… for a missing permission, Restart when Keybumps needs to restart to use one, and no button once it's Granted.
- While an update waits, an Update Available row under your account in the sidebar opens Changelog. It shows whenever the menu bar icon shows its update dot.
- Settings opens on Permissions only while a permission is missing. Otherwise it opens on the page you chose last, where it used to open on Permissions.
If you go back to an earlier version4 changes
- A version before beta.31 doesn't look in the plugins' folders, so it starts without your dictations, Dictation's downloaded models, Clipboard History, snippets, recent translations, Shortcut Coach's history, Quick Search's Recent Items and the ranking it learned from what you pick, recent emoji, timers, and the repositories the recording window remembers.
- Its ScreenGrabs tab shows none of your earlier screenshots, and only the recordings still in a folder it saved recordings to, such as your Desktop.
- If you used a downloaded model, Dictation goes back to the built-in one, and stays on it when you update again. After you update, click Use beside your model under Transcription model in Settings › Dictation.
- Nothing is deleted. Update to beta.31 again and everything you had is back. Dictations you make in the earlier version move in too, but other changes made there, such as new snippets or clipboard items, may not.
