Screenshot Captor / Re: Screenshot captor seems to lose its preferences

« on: March 16, 2018, 12:18 AM »

So, I went to a backup and restored the Screenshot.ini.new into the Screenshot.ini (and ini.new) and that worked.

One odd thing.  It doesn't seem to start on windows boot.  I have the preferences set to startup.  I can go to the window startup list of task manager and I see screenshotcaptor  in the list and enabled and the properties show it's got the right path.

BTW, my .ini file is on the D drive then the same relative path.  I used standard windows (i.e. nothing hokey) to movie the Documents, and some other dirs, to the D drive.

Screenshot Captor / Screenshot captor seems to lose its preferences

Somtimes when it comes up it seems to revert to some nascent state where it's lost my preferences and doesn't even know the directory I specified for saving this info.

So, I want to know where/what files this info is kept if nothing else so I can save it off and restore it manually the next time it happens.

Obviously, I would like this not to happen at all.

Screenshot Captor / Re: screenshot captor and NAS unsuable

« on: February 27, 2016, 03:35 PM »

I use the NAS by name, vs IP, and though I do specify my own sharing (specifically, I have the NAS directory shared as a disk and its sharing is specified through the NAS interface). Homegroup is apparently turned on (win 10). 

As per the DNS being 15% slower, 15% isn't the issue.  I think we're more in the 10,000% ball park.

From what I've seen in the past, the kind of delay I'm seeing here suggests something that's querying every file in that directory one at a time (and so a directory with a lot of screenshots is going to aggregate to huge latency).  Perhaps I should make a test screenshot dir on the nas and drop increasing number of files in there to see it it scales.

If that's the case, I guess the only way i could imagine dealing with that is to take over the update of the clip plane (some more manual process).  Easy for me to write.

Screenshot Captor / screenshot captor and NAS unsuable

« on: February 25, 2016, 12:38 PM »

I have a NAS and I specified a directory on it as my screenshot save folder.  Unfortunately, very time I captured the program became unresponsive for a minute.  I use that NAS all the time for random editing of files etc and I've never seen anything like that.  I've since switched to a local drive and the problem has gone away but then, of course, that requires the local machine to be available etc which is why I wanted to use the NAS for this purpose.

Is screenshot captor re scanning the entire screenshot capture directory every capture or what?
