- Improvements to settings save/load system to avoid unexpected setting resets:
- When settings are saved to file, it is stored in Windows hard disk cache, so when electricity is lost or PC is not shutdown properly while settings are already in hard disk cache then this was causing the latest settings file and backup of previous settings file to be corrupted, whereas now ShareX bypasses hard disk cache while saving settings and copying backups to avoid this issue *Added two more fallback options when loading settings: temp and last weekly backup file. So if the latest and previous setting files somehow manage to become corrupt then as a last resort ShareX will load the last weekly backup of the settings file. New settings load fallback order is:
- Latest setting file: Documents\ShareX\ApplicationConfig.json
- Temp latest setting file: Documents\ShareX\ApplicationConfig.json.temp
- Backup of previous setting file: Documents\ShareX\Backup\ApplicationConfig.json
- Last weekly backup file: Documents\ShareX\Backup\ApplicationConfig-2020-05-W22.json
- Uploader passwords are now encrypted using DPAPI while saving settings
- Important: If you would like to backup your settings then use "Application settings window -> Settings tab -> Export button" instead of copying Documents\ShareX folder, otherwise you may have problems with encrypted passwords

- You can check out the examples in the #image-effects channel in our Discord server or show your image effects to us*
- Added "ImageEffects" folder to ShareX personal folder
- Added %ShareXImageEffects% path variable which will be used in all image effects which requires file or folder path, so when you supply path which is inside ShareX image effects folder then that section of the path will be automatically replaced with %ShareXImageEffects%. Reason for this is, if you share image effect to another user and if that users image effects folder is in custom location then path will still match correctly. Image effect packager also making sure that you can’t select assets folder outside of ShareX image effects folder to make sure that paths will match correctly
- Added interpolation mode option to "Image" (previously called "Image watermark") image effect, for example Nearest neighbor is handy when you want to make image border with 1px length image and extend it to fill whole image length, without this option extended image was looking blurry because of anti aliasing while drawing enlarged image
