Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Clipboard extender that does not need an exe file to run

« on: April 25, 2013, 08:37 AM »

I think .vbs (VB Script) files are native to Windows, but I'm sure that even that would be treated as a "rouge script."  (not a %100 sure.  not a programer.)

Okay, also working fine here...  I downloaded the latest beta (also 4030) and got rid of the dot "maskpng."

Oddly, the older versions of the masks (kunkelhands and holdingcircle) have worked throughout all of the above tests--and still do work.   All three of the frame/mask combos pictured below are currently working; but notice that the naming conventions are different.  


Weird -eh?

Using v 4030, putting "handsholding2.png" and "handsholding2.png.mask.png" in a subfolder of the frames folder does seemed to have worked. 

Will try the next beta now...

(Dare I suggest that Crainioscopical share his balls?)

I must be doing something wrong...
v4.03.0


Adding the extra .png to the end just causes SSC to treat the mask as a frame...

Here's my dir

Okay I should probably know this already....
Is there an "official beta download" location?

I'm guessing that it's not this one
http://www.donationc...hotcaptor/index.html

Is in embedded someplace in the Latest Version Info Thread?

Can Mouser, or somebody please try this updated version, "handsholding2?"

It's the same image, I just tried to fix the mask in the top-left, and tried to make the shadow a little better...

The dimensions and color-depth (between handsolding2.png and handsholding2.png.mask) are the same, so I think it should work...  
The compression ratio appears to be different though.  Not sure if that matters.

If I try to use it, I get the "frame" part working, but the mask part does not, and SSC pops up "Access violation at address 00723F54 in module 'ScreenshotCaptor.exe'. Read of address 00000000."

Do other people get this effect?
==========
EDIT:   Mouser's installation instructions from his above download are:
"Copy both of these files to your ScreenshotCaptor\Frames directory, then use the Frame tool to apply it.
(Hit rescan directories from Frame Tool panel if you copy files while SC is running)."

Some demon hands would be good.  Or zombie hands.
I guess robot hands would probably be more "computerish" though...

This is mostly true only for web-based stuff--yes?

My work computer has some installed-onto-the-c-drive, non-networked utilities that still have "admin" as the login.

Also fyi they are actually not "my" hands...  They belong to google images.  
The offer presented here

still stands.
RE Hand model photographer volunteers....  

EDIT:
Looks like the file formats and naming are the same...  I think the only difference is that Mouser made it so they don't have to be put in different sub-directories...    Here is the "Holding Circle" one from the other thread...

Thanks Mouser!
Sorry for not replying sooner....  I haven't tinkered with frames since many versions ago, and just haven't had time to experiment...
Mouser's new set up does seem to work.

Looks like the mask needs to be shaved a bit on the top/left.  I'll see if I can find the original images and clean things up.  Also, I never really did like the shadows I made.

Good tip.
Doesn't always work, but it appears to on this giveaway. 
On weekends GAOTD has a free game too (see link in upper-right).  Sometimes the tip works on the games as well.

RE this particular giveaway....  I'm not sure I'd call it an "editor."  Many so called editors don't actually *change* the pdf in any way...  They just add to it.  Even the eraser function doesn't change the pdf--it just paints virtual whiteout over parts of the document.

Don't forget good'ole OpenClipart...

Hmmm...  I guess you're right Mouser.  (see below) I can browse there, but can't jump from a link. 
From the openclipart site, click the 'collections' tab, then near the bottom is the link for the repository.

The bulk downloads all seem to be older versions.  I'm not sure if you can even access the full current collection as a single download...

I'm not sure about Quick Jump, but Listary seems to be "per user" rather than per computer.   
Also it's $20, though coinsidently, they have it on BDJ today to $10.  http://www.bitsdujou...ftware/listary-pro-2
