Version 8.6.2 Update Highlights:
## New Features
* The `acorn` command-line tool now supports the `-screenshot` parameter, allowing Acorn to capture layered screenshots of all open windows. You can use the `-delay` parameter to set the wait time before taking the screenshot, and the `-appname` parameter to only capture windows of a specified application. Run `acorn -h` to see all available parameters.
* The program坞 menu now includes a layered screenshot option. This is very convenient: you can adjust all windows to your ideal state, right-click on the Acorn icon in the program坞 to take a screenshot, and never lose focus on any window.
## Changes and Adjustments
* Fixed past issues: filters applied to bitmap layers did not respect the canvas selection. This has been adjusted so that filter effects are masked by the selection.
* When exporting in PSD format, Acorn will no longer add extra pixels to bitmap layers (preserving the layer’s original pixel boundaries rather than aligning to the canvas size, which can reduce file size).
* Updated the X/Y coordinate labels in the crop, layer scaling, perspective transformation, and smart layer export panels to match the rest of the software interface.
* When loading a new brush preset, Acorn will check if the preset has saved any rate settings (on/off). If not, it will inherit the rate parameter from the current brush. So, when you enable or disable “rate affects brush width,” and then switch to an old brush preset, it will use the current setting.
## Bug Fixes
* Fixed the minor bug where pasting a URL from the File ▸ From Clipboard menu would pop up an SVG error (though the image would still be downloaded).
* Fixed the issue where the cloning tool showed artifacts when the transparency was below 100%.
* Fixed the problem where the “Export Using Preset” menu item could not read the scaling parameters saved in the preset.
* Fixed the issue where the vertical ruler showed incorrect position updates on the mouse.
