Delayed autosave: Delayed auto save means Butterfly waits 1–10 seconds (2 seconds by default) after your last change before saving, so devices with slow hardware can still enjoy auto saving without constant churn. Not only that, the saving process has been improved under the hood by running it in the background so you can draw without the app freezing. Additionally you can now see the current save state as a tooltip on the save icon. Issues around save ordering and state updates during autosave are also fixed. Thumbnail capture improvements: You get better thumbnails: the app now captures the correct center of the viewport and a preview will be shown of your capture. Template import and export improvements: There are fixes for importing and exporting templates. You can export templates to the tbfly format and selectively choose which templates to export. Imports are more reliable, including when no document is open, and tbfly imports now work as expected. Absolute read-only file handling on save was also corrected. In this part, another bug affecting backgrounds with lines has been fixed—now they render the last row and column even when only partially visible. Improved PDF handling: PDF handling is more efficient. The underlying PDF library was replaced, and the app no longer crashes in this area. The PDF import dialog has clearer defaults and descriptions, and overall reliability around PDF-related flows has been improved as part of broader stability work. Drawing improvements: Element creation now feels smoother when you release the pen. We fixed flickering and eraser artifacts, including a bug where the eraser could produce duplicate IDs. Background lines render the last row and column even when they are only partially visible. We also corrected scaling behavior for multiple elements and for pen elements. File view and UI improvements: The grid view now has better spacing, and filenames wrap more gracefully on desktop. Theme names display correctly, including |
