Version History

 

v1.25.01 - Nov 13, 2011

[MinorFeature] Added -dpi option to set DPI of saved image.

 

v1.24.02 - Sep 4, 2011

[MinorFeature] Updated with current Screenshot Captor semi-transparent window Aero capture abilities
[MinorFeature] Better reporting of failure-to-save-file errors.

 

v1.23.01 - Oct 21, 2010

[MinorFeature] The file extension (.exe) is removed from the captured application filename ($fullfilename$)
[MinorFeature] You can now use $uniquenum0$ instead of $uniquenum$ if you want to force a counter name always even if not needed to avoid conflict with existing file.

 

v1.21.01 - 6/7/10

[BugFix] The -exit commandline option was not being obeyed if user used -print but didn't save.

 

v1.20.01 - 5/3/10

[Feature] Updated with latest Screenshot Captor capture code.
MajorFeature] Completely re-rewritten new method for capturing Aero Glass themed Semi-transparent windows on Vista and Windows 7.  Based on an approach described by Ian Griffiths (http://www.interact-sw.co.uk/iangblog/2007/01/30/recoveralpha), with several tweaks for automatic border detection and improved color handling.  A new options tab ("Windows Capturing") was added to control the various options for it.  Note that by default SC will preserve the entire transparency recovered from the window; this will allow you to composite the screenshot in graphics editing software with it's original semi-transparent regions and effects.  By default SC will attempt to remove the shadow effect imparted by Aero, but you can change this via commandline options.
[BugFix] Was refusing to capture certain windows like Google Chrome; errors in capturing are now reported better.
