Well, SC was not available on that PC at that moment.

I also noticed, that the "working" clips are smaller. Different DPI ?

I also do not have irfanview.

I will try some programs. But I have work to do first.

Screenshot Captor / Visio not liking SC's screenshots !?

« on: September 19, 2008, 11:17 AM »

OK this is bizzare, so read carefully.

I made some screenshots with Screenshot Captor v2.42.01 on Win2000Pro-SP4. All default options, files are saved as PNG.

Then I transferred (over an USB stick) the files to a WinXPproSP3 PC.

There I created a new document with Visio Pro 2003 SP3 (selected the "Block diagram" template).

I've put some boxes and lines, but the important pieces were pictures, which I added like this :

 - open the screenshot PNG in MS Paint (the well known Windows program)
 - using the select tool , select a rectangle in the image
 - press ctrl-c to copy the selection to clipboard

 - in Visio press ctrl-v to Paste the selection from clipboard

I repeated the above for several pictures (each originating from a different screenshot file).

Then I saved the Visio document and closed Visio.

After that, when reopening the Visio document (the file size was already suspicious), the images were all missing !
The boxes and lines were there, but no images.
Actually, clicking on the spot where an image should have been reveals a selection box (the green thing) that I cat rotate, move or resize. As if the picture were there. Only it isn't, it's just empty/transparent space.

Then I tried to paste a direct screenshot:
 - open the Visio document
 - press the PrintScreen key
 - press ctrl-v
 - save & close

This works fine, the image is saved.

Then I also tried this:
 - open the screenshot PNG in MS Paint
 - press PrintScreen
 - open another instance of Paint
 - ctrl-V : paste the screenshot into it
 - using the select tool , select a rectangle in the image (more or less the same as in first try)
 - press ctrl-c to copy the selection to clipboard
 - in Visio press ctrl-v to Paste the selection from clipboard

Again, this image works fine. It is saved. I see it when reopening the document.


This made an hour of work go down the drain 

Is this a known issue ?
Any idea ?

Regards,
David

Yep, the first PC uses "," and the second uses "." for decimal.

Actually the most programs handle 120DPI well (otherwise I would go crazy)

Hi!

I just downloaded Screenshot Captor 2.41.01

Looks great, but some bugs sneaked in:

 - (I started it from the extracted ZIP, without running the installer) after entering the licence code, I get this dialog: (see attached image)

 - after running it from the USB stick on another PC (Windows 2000) I got this error right after start: (see second image)
After that it works just fine.

Regards,
David
