Version History and ToDo List

•	Fixed bug where the copy-to-clipboard button on bottom was being hidden.

•	Improved detection of non-traditional window skins, and better edge detection for skinned windows (for example capturing bblean-skinned windows).

•	On launch of a second instance the user is now shown an explanation of how to activate the already running instance from the system tray.

•	Clicking the save+ button now increments the _ver00# suffix instead of resulting in _ver001_ver001 type chains.

•	Added a few commandline options to control how SC is started (-maximize, - minimize, -show)'

•	Added Portable mode support (edit the configdir.ini file and add line PORTABLE=TRUE); when enabled no system files or any files outside of the program directory will be written

•	Rebuilt with latest version of ImageEn library -- graphics operations run faster (especially shadowing operations -- yay!)

•	Working with UnicodeImageMaker was broken again -- fixed now: text is remembered within bitmap objects.

•	Modified parsing of configdir.ini for better use of ScreenshotCaptor on portable drives.

•	Hopefully improved auto sorting with latest images at bottom of thumbnail list (this seemed to break in earlier version).

•	Added new date formatting options using the $dt:%DATEFORMATSTRING% format.

•	Added current browser url to info that gets captured and can be added to image comments.

•	You can now use %comments% in an email template to include screenshot comments.

•	Setting the option to auto print on capture no longer displays print preview dialog.

•	VistaFix: Another bugfix to prevent the license key from being lost after exit. sigh.

•	VistaFix: The default configuration and screenshot directory is now in User Documents directory.

•	BugFix: Fixed minor bug in post-capture processing could cause problems with portrait size monitors.

•	VistaFix: Better checking for if screenshot directory is writable (and figures out an alternative if not); good for dealing with vista evilness.

•	VistaFix: ScreenshotCaptor now explicitly avoids all evil Vista virtualization (see my post here).

•	VistaFix: Installer no longer offers to run program after installation due to more vista uglyness.

•	BugFix: Sometimes the entire screen was being pre-selected after a capture.

•	Fixed bug where tiny window was displayed on first capture if you have pop-up capture form enabled.

•	When copying and pasting to programs that support DPI information, Screenshot Captor now honors the DPI settings in options (solves bug where images were small when being copied and pasted into outlook, etc).

•	The border type combobox inpreferences was swapping inside border with outside border.

•	ScreenshotCaptor will now properly crop non-rectangular windows automatically (and also properly select non-rectangular active windows in full screen captures for dimming effects, etc.)

•	Speeded up new capture displays by avoiding a redundant image file re-load.

•	Selection size in statusbar was off by one, file sizes were slightly off.

•	MyJunk folder now ONLY gets autocreated on startup, not every time you switch to MyJunk folder, and on demand if user tries to move files into it.

•	Hold Shift in MoveTo menu to switch to the target dir instead of moving; Hold Ctrl to switch after moving.

•	Copy image to clipboard on capture now works even if "don't autosave" is checked.

•	When you change to "preserve ratio" in resize box, the ratio is instantly fixed.

•	Added non-rectangular selection modes (good for cropping/blurring/shadows).

•	Changed resize tool button to a drop-down list with common preset sizes.

•	Fixed bug where overwrite confirmation form previous setting was not being remembered.

•	Fixed a few cases where changes to file weren't marking the file as dirty.

•	New option to control how much working memory is used when program is minimized; can be useful in tradeing off fast wake-up vs. minimal memory use when minimized.

•	Added copy path to clipboard button near filename on bottom panel and in edit menu.

•	Fixed internet explorer scrolling window capture losing bottom pixels when no horizontal scrollbar was visible.

•

It seems that some antivirus programs are giving false alerts on the dll used in Screenshot Captor to monitor the keyboard in the new Red Box Object Capture Mode. The keyhook.dll file is now compressed to try to avoid these annoying false alarms. We will recompile the dlls and try to avoid the alert if it persists. If you get such a warning it is safe to ignore it.
