HoloMapper V0.2.1 Update
This update is a major usability, UI, and feature expansion pass for HoloMapper.
New Features
- Added adjustable quad grid controls with horizontal/vertical line count, thickness, and grid on/off.
- Added Circle surfaces with depth/bulge controls.
- Added Line Tool with straight-line and freehand drawing modes.
- Added Custom Shape tool for creating filled closed shapes.
- Added Presets panel with color generator and animation options.
- Added External Input support for selecting live application/window sources.
- Added experimental URL/Web input support for embedded website sources.
- Added duplicate support for selected surfaces.
- Added multi-select improvements, including multi-delete.
- Added X/Y flip controls for uploaded media and inputs.
- Added updated Help page covering the new tools and workflows.
UI / Workflow Improvements
- Modernized the interface styling with cleaner dark-theme panels, buttons, tabs, scrollbars, and controls.
- Reworked the layout so Layers, Project, and Selection are in the left sidebar.
- Moved main creation/edit actions into the bottom control bar.
- Improved layer list usability, selection highlighting, rename flow, visibility, and locking controls.
- Improved hover and selected states across the UI.
- Improved menu and tool state handling so active tools are clearer.
- Improved file picker handling for Upload, Save, and Load, including better cancel behavior.
Projection / Editing Improvements
- Improved quad grid rendering so the grid remains visible over uploaded images and videos.
- Improved projective rendering for normal quad corner warping.
- Improved masking behavior so clicking outside the surface exits mask editing cleanly.
- Improved handle visibility and interaction near frame edges.
- Improved keyboard nudging so movement direction remains consistent when surfaces are rotated.
- Improved line smoothing and line selection behavior.
- Improved custom shape borders and editing controls.
Save / Load Improvements
- Improved backwards compatibility for older HoloMapper project files.
- Improved restoration of newer surface types, including circles, lines, custom shapes, inputs, presets, and grid settings.
- Improved media handling inside saved project archives.
Steam / Release Improvements
- Improved Steam launch/security handling.
- Improved Steam Deck and fullscreen behavior groundwork.
- Improved standalone build handling for development vs shipped builds.
Fixes
- Fixed multiple file picker cancel/freeze cases.
- Fixed several UI hover/highlight issues.
- Fixed several layer ordering, locking, and hidden-surface editing issues.
- Fixed several masking tool input issues.
- Fixed save/load failures caused by newer geometry data.
- Fixed video freeze cases after undo/delete where possible.
- Fixed external input mirroring/flip control issues.
- Fixed projective quad texture cropping caused by incorrect mapping.
- Fixed several line tool and custom shape creation/editing bugs.
- Fixed build and compiler issues from recent package/plugin changes.
Notes
External Input and URL/Web Input are experimental. Some apps and websites may limit capture, playback, input, or minimized-window behavior depending on operating system and source application.
