# HyperFrames v0.8.80

By Steven Van · 2026-09-27

The release fixes preview reloads, export/seek frame accuracy, thumbnail reliability and CLI commands that stayed open after finishing.

HyperFrames v0.8.80 is a fix-focused release for Studio's preview and export pipeline. Studio now reloads the preview only when a file it actually loaded changes, cutting unnecessary reloads for temporary and excluded files, and catalog installs made from Studio now record properly and honour paths, matching the CLI's add command.

- Export, seek and snapshot now show the correct video frame; a short video's snapshot no longer goes black, and a seek onto a later clip with a CSS animation renders the right frame.

- Studio Server keeps serving a thumbnail even if the underlying file vanishes mid-request, and now probes each proxied clip once instead of on every request.

- An automation lane edit on a locked clip is refused, with a message reporting how it was actually saved.

- CLI commands now exit once they finish, instead of being held open by background update and skills checks, and an unattended run's --yes flag no longer overrides a "no" saved by another process.
