## Wopisanje

Hwinote iCatch Editor adds a browser-based canvas editor to the WordPress administration
screen. It can create and edit featured images, edit selected Image blocks, and 
edit images from the Media Library without using an external image-generation service.

#### Open the editor from

 * The featured-image panel of a supported post type.
 * A selected Image block in the Block Editor, when Image block integration is enabled.
 * The detailed edit screen of an image in the Media Library.

#### Canvas and background

 * Image-size presets and custom canvas sizes up to 4000 x 4000 pixels.
 * Background images from the current featured image, Media Library, or computer
   upload.
 * Solid background color mode.
 * Background zoom, position, brightness, contrast, saturation, and blur.
 * Background behavior selection when the canvas size changes.
 * Interactive background crop with free, 1:1, 4:3, and 16:9 ratios.
 * Display-only preview zoom that does not change the saved image dimensions.

#### Text and drawing tools

 * Article-title text with drag, resize, rotation, font, color, outline, shadow,
   and arch controls.
 * Horizontal and vertical text boxes.
 * Custom font-name input with recently used fonts saved per user.
 * Upload WOFF2, WOFF, TTF, or OTF font files for consistent same-site canvas rendering.
 * Rectangles, circles, ellipses, arrows, straight lines, double lines, dashed lines,
   dotted lines, wavy lines, and arrowed lines.
 * Speech bubbles with editable tails.
 * Circled-number, circled-uppercase, and circled-lowercase marker tools with selectable
   start values.

#### Image layers and crop

 * Add image layers from the Media Library, computer upload, or clipboard.
 * Copy a rectangular, circular, or elliptical canvas area and paste it as a new
   image layer.
 * Rectangle, rounded rectangle, circle, and ellipse display masks.
 * Non-destructive image-layer crop with an independent crop aspect-ratio lock.
 * Image border, corner radius, shadow, opacity, flip, position, size, and rotation
   controls.
 * Image-size aspect-ratio lock that can be switched on or off independently from
   crop settings.

#### Layers and editing workflow

 * Layer list with multiple selection.
 * Group and ungroup selected elements.
 * Duplicate a single layer or a complete group.
 * Show, hide, lock, delete, bring forward, and send backward.
 * Snapping and independently controlled guide lines.
 * Undo and Redo history.
 * Keyboard shortcuts and Escape-key priority handling.
 * Reset actions for the full editor and individual editing areas.
 * Pre-save checks and confirmation messages before saving or replacing media.

#### Saving and Media Library behavior

 * Generated images are registered as WordPress Media Library attachments.
 * WordPress attachment metadata and registered intermediate image sizes are regenerated
   after saving.
 * Featured-image saves set the generated attachment as the post thumbnail.
 * Image block editing can save a new attachment or directly replace the selected
   attachment.
 * Saving an Image block as a new image keeps the original attachment. Update the
   post to retain the new attachment in the block.
 * Direct replacement keeps the same attachment ID and updates the image file and
   metadata.
 * Media Library editing can save a new attachment or replace the original JPEG,
   PNG, or WebP image.
 * Direct replacement is unavailable for unsupported formats and source images wider
   or taller than 4000 pixels.
 * Output can use PNG, JPEG, or the source format where supported.

Important: saved images are flattened. Text, shapes, layers, crop settings, and 
history are not stored as an editable project that can be reopened later.

Important: direct replacement changes every place that uses the same Media Library
attachment and cannot be undone by this plugin. Browser, server, or CDN caches may
need to be cleared when an image is replaced at the same URL.

#### Device and language support

 * Desktop and tablet layouts are supported, including iPad and iPad Mini portrait
   and landscape orientations.
 * Editor launch controls are hidden on smartphones because the full canvas workflow
   is designed for a larger screen.
 * The source interface is English, and bundled Japanese translation files are included.

#### Privacy and external services

Hwinote iCatch Editor does not send images or editor content to an external image-
generation service. Editing is performed in the browser, and generated images and
uploaded font files are saved to the current WordPress site through WordPress.

## Instalacija

 1. Back up the site before updating an existing installation.
 2. Upload the plugin ZIP from Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, or upload the plugin
    folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 3. Activate Hwinote iCatch Editor.
 4. Open Settings > Hwinote iCatch Editor to configure Image block integration, output
    format, JPEG quality, and font loading.
 5. For a featured image, open a supported post or page and use the Hwinote iCatch 
    Editor panel.
 6. For an Image block, select the block and use the configured toolbar or sidebar 
    action.
 7. For a Media Library image, open the image, choose “Edit more details,” and use “
    Edit this image.”
 8. Review the save method carefully before directly replacing an existing attachment.

When updating from 1.6.0, test featured-image saving, Image block editing, Media
Library replacement, generated image sizes, and cache behavior on a staging site
before updating a production site.

## HSP

### Does the plugin require an external API or account?

No. The canvas editor runs in the browser and saves through WordPress Ajax. No external
image-generation account is required.

### Where can I open the editor?

You can open it from a featured-image panel, a selected Image block, or the detailed
edit screen for a Media Library image.

### Can I reopen a saved image with all layers intact?

No. The plugin saves a flattened image. Text, shapes, layers, crop settings, and
history are not stored as an editable project.

### Which image formats can be saved?

The configured output can use PNG, JPEG, or the source format where supported. Direct
replacement supports JPEG, PNG, and WebP when the edited output uses the same supported
format.

### What is the difference between saving a new image and replacing the original?

Saving a new image creates a new Media Library attachment and leaves the original
attachment unchanged. Direct replacement keeps the same attachment ID and changes
every place where that attachment is used.

### What happens when I save an edited Image block as a new image?

The original attachment remains in the Media Library. The selected block is changed
to the new attachment in the current editor session. Update the post before closing
it to retain that block change.

### Can I replace the original Media Library image?

Yes. Choose “Replace the original image” in a supported editing mode. The attachment
ID is retained, WordPress image sizes are regenerated, and the previous image cannot
be restored by this plugin.

### Why is direct replacement unavailable for some images?

Direct replacement is disabled for unsupported formats and for source images wider
or taller than 4000 pixels. Saving as a new image remains available.

### Why does an old image sometimes remain after replacement?

A browser, WordPress cache plugin, web server, reverse proxy, or CDN may still hold
the previous image. Clear the relevant caches and reload the page.

### Does WordPress generate thumbnails after saving?

Yes. The plugin regenerates attachment metadata so WordPress can create registered
thumbnail, medium, large, and theme-defined image sizes.

### Can I paste an image from the clipboard?

Yes. Use the Add image menu or Ctrl/Command + V while the editor is open, subject
to browser clipboard support.

### Does preview zoom change the saved image size?

No. Preview zoom changes only the on-screen display. The saved dimensions are controlled
by the canvas-size settings.

### Can I edit on a smartphone?

The launch controls are hidden on smartphones, including iPhone and Android phones.
Tablets and desktop computers remain supported.

### Is the plugin multilingual?

Yes. The source interface is English and Japanese translation files are bundled.

   reliably switches to the new attachment without repeated old/new preview flicker.
