ScreenPal user interface updates in version 3.11

Based on feedback from our users, we have made several updates to the user interface in the ScreenPal desktop application and the ScreenPal content hosting site.  Our goal is to improve workflows and streamline editing and publishing.

To assist with this transition, please review the updates we included in this release, detailed below.

Screen Recorder - Done button

When you are finished recording, you will no longer see the Done button. This button has been replaced by the Edit Video, Save File, and Share icons.  The Quick Share option has been removed, but it's worth noting that it still only takes two clicks to upload a video.

After:

Screen Recorder - Delete

It now only takes two clicks to delete a recording and exit the Screen Recorder.

After:

Project Manager - Storage location

You can still switch between different video project folders.  This setting remains accessible in the top-right corner as a folder icon.

After:

Project Manager - Log in to access features

You can now log in directly from the top-right corner of the app's main window.  This is in addition to the pre-existing options of logging in via the menu bar (macOS) or system tray (Windows).

Now:

Video Editor - Publish options

We removed the Preview mode between the Video Editor and Project Manager within our desktop app to improve app navigation.  Now, when you click on a video project via Project Manager, it opens directly into Video Editor mode.  The publish options that were previously available in Preview mode are now accessible via icons in the top-right corner of the Video Editor.
