HoloMapper V0.2.1 Update Changelog

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.
