v1.x has a different architecture and better performance than v0.x, and v1.x can generate screenshots directly without an open browser. We recommend you upgrade to v1.x for a better experience.

It's worth mentioning that the screenshot feature is implemented by a module called generator written in Rust, when make the project, the CodeSnap.nvim will mount a precompiled cross-compile generator shared file into the plugin that depends on what OS you are using.

If your platform is in the above list, you can just run make after the plugin is installed like the above examples do, CodeSnap.nvim will automatically mount the shared file into the plugin. This means you don't need any Rust utils to compile manually from source.

Please keep in mind, cross-compile to these platforms only helps a portion of users to have out-of-box experience, if your platform is not in the above targets list, you still need to compile from source using make build_generator, for instance using Lazy:

We always recommend you to compile CodeSnap.nvim from source instead of using the precompiled shared file, because the correctness and consistency of compiling from source are always higher than cross-compiling.
