SleekSpriter 0.4.1

Fixes:

SleekSpriter 0.4

Changes:

• Removed desktop version *

Features:

• Save and load unencrypted files
• Your workspace now saves automatically
• Quickly export a frame at the current zoom level from the menu
• A start screen from where you can open all your files
• Show recently used files in app menu (this can be configured in the settings)
• All keyboard shortcuts are now available in the web version and displayed in the menu

* This was a hard decision but it had to be taken.
Keeping up with two code bases and their updates started to consume more time than the actual application. I will bring all features to the web version from now on.

resized or hidden from there. You can remove it again by selecting and deleting it
like a layer.
