# QuickMapCompare — Release Notes ## v1.1.1 (latest) **Fix:** the Swipe Compare busy/spinner cursor (added in 1.1.0) now also shows up when the armed tile reloads because you panned or zoomed the main canvas — not just on its very first load. Wheel-zooming in particular wasn't triggering it before, since it doesn't move the mouse. ## v1.1.0 **New:** when a viewport armed for Swipe Compare is still loading its content, the cursor over the main canvas now switches to a busy/spinner shape. Previously, pressing **S** at that moment could look like it silently did nothing — now it's clear the content just isn't ready yet. The spinner clears automatically once loading finishes, once a swipe actually starts, or once nothing is armed. ## v1.0.3 — important fix if you're on v1.0.2 **Fix:** v1.0.2 could crash QGIS shortly after startup, whether or not Swipe Compare was even in use. The cause was a low-level Qt mechanism (an application-wide event filter) used to make the **S** key work no matter where keyboard focus was — it turned out unsafe given how QGIS loads its many plugins on macOS. The underlying UX is preserved without the crash: the main canvas now grabs keyboard focus on its own as soon as you point the mouse at it, so **S** still works without clicking the canvas first — unless you're actively typing in a text field elsewhere, in which case hovering the canvas won't steal your focus. **If you installed v1.0.2, please update to this version or later.** --- ## Upgrading 1. Remove the old QuickMapCompare plugin in QGIS (**Plugins → Manage and Install Plugins → Installed**). 2. Install from the attached ZIP (**Plugins → Manage and Install Plugins → Install from ZIP**). 3. Restart QGIS if prompted.
