Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Smooth screen zoom around mouse pointer (magnifier)

« on: May 14, 2020, 02:18 AM »

Create a program that zooms the screen underneath the mouse pointer using a set radius and set zoom level (%), that follows the mouse pointer as long as a particular keyboard key or key combination is depressed (and goes away upon release).

Ideally the cursor would not be part of the magnification.

This is to facilitate onscreen teaching, such as https://youtu.be/b7m8GQn33u0?t=1259 (apparently there is something like it for mac).  Windows magnifier is square rather than round and is hard to start and stop.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Bug: odd behavior on large monitor

Edit: restarting it does seem to fix it.  I am not sure how to reproduce it.

I have both one and two monitor setups (see below). 

I can verify that it happens on multiple machines, but not on every machine, and not at all times.

Laptop) I have a laptop that I connect via usb-c to the monitor at work - and noticed it first there.  I thought it might be because that is a 2 monitor setup (although I have it set to only output to the 2nd monitor, with the laptop screen being black). It does not happen if I detach the PC from the monitor (no reboot or anything - just detach and region screenshot works normally).

Main PC) This had never happened (and still does not happen) on my main computer, which I have connected to the same model monitor at home via HDMI cable. This is a single monitor setup.  The resolution is 3840 x 1200, BTW.  I used to have a 3 monitor setup, which I replaced with this single monitor, and screenshot captor ran without a hitch on the 3 monitor setup, as well.

New PC) However, I am currently setting up a new computer and have that connected to the same monitor at home via display port (I just toggle the input source).  This is the same setup as the Main PC above, but the white screen with small desktop in the upper left corner thing happens just like the laptop at when hooked up to the external monitor at work.  There isn't much difference between the new PC and the main PC in terms of setup, so I can't say why it would happen on one and not the other.

Screenshot Captor / Bug: odd behavior on large monitor

I have a 43" Samsung CJ890, and recently when I do a regional screenshot capture the crosshairs appear and the desktop is depicted as a small image in the upper left hand corner of the screen on a white background. I just capture the region of interest there, but because it is so small, it gets hard to see what I am grabbing.  See the attached photo.

I knew that I was just being stupid.  I'm just too used to finding that stuff under the "options" menu... I didn't think to look for it there.  Thanks for helping with a dumb question

I've searched around, but haven't been able to find a way to change the default output directory.  Can someone please tell me how to do this?
