Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: A feature (or two) for the Extended Format Clipboard Help+Spell

One screenshot attached as per your request (Can I take a screenshot, he asked naively... ) with pleasure.

Ok, this is from v2.45.2 as I haven't migrated all my data to the newest version yet. I have more that I would use via this interface but as I max out at 21, I went formatting over number of entries and use the others via manual means.

Cheers,

G'day wraith808,

I'm not exactly sure about the version of Edge I'm using except the it is labelled/branded:

Microsoft Edge 41.16299.1004.0
MicrosoftHTML 16.16299
© Microsoft 2017

I came straight to Windows 10 from Windows XP, so I think I'm using a Chromium based Edge as the old version one was released for one of Microsoft's operating systems that was issued between XP and 10 but was already replaced when I first updated, if I am not mistaken.

Thanks for looking into this. It is not a big deal (Yes it is but I shouldn't grumble, I've been lucky anyway as my system hasn't had anything but Windows Defender updates but no upgrades for over a year.), I'll just live with it till I can get a new 64bit computer, hopefully later this year.

Cheers,

MikleB

I am talking about the actions that you see in the dropdown menu with the DonationCoder (fav)icon next to it labelled 'Actions' on the toolbar part of the 'Memo' panel. On my install, if you hover over it the tooltip it displays is "Choose a quick action to perform on clip", and is configured via an page in the configuration dialogue accessed under the name 'Quick Actions'.

The only other configurable menu that I know of in Clipboard Help+Spell that could be clouding the issue is on the same toolbar but is labelled 'Modify Format/Case' which is unlimited in size (I presume) since it's size and contents is governed by small external files stored in the 'PresetFormats' folder. Just while where are talking about this other menu though, it also could use dividers and submenus as I could and already have seriously enlarged this one from the 6 items that come pre-installed within it.

The actions come with just 2 pre-installed items, 'define term' and 'google'. It maxes out at 21 items and will not accept more and only has 15 accelerator keys (1-9 and A-P). I hope this clears up what I was on about in the last post.

Thank you for you attention,

MikleB

G'day

 I'm a little hesitant to pass this problem straight to mouser, I've put a couple of things on his plate lately :-[ , so maybe a moderator or someone fairly familiar with the forum software might possibly look into this problem if it comes to their attention.

 One of my pet peeves is mini-sized input boxes that have you scrolling all over the place to proofread and modify messages or forum posts. I know that there is a little handle below  the DonationCoder input area like the one I am currently using, and it used to allow me to lengthen this input area to my liking (Almost full screen height is my preferred operational configuration.), and since I haven't posted for quite a while I don't know when this stopped working on my end, but currently it is stuck on the smallest setting and does not allow any increase in size. This is both for the Quick Reply and the Normal Posting edit boxes.

 I used to browse using Firefox when I last posted many moons ago and all was well then but just lately I've been using Edge and the problem has struck.

 My Operating System is Windows 10 Pro, 32bit, though it is a version that is stuck at the 1709 release, so that is likely the culprit. Sadly, it will not update and I should do a reinstall but I just dont' have the time at the moment to do so. Actaully I really need a new computer but finances do not permit (A 9 year old machine.).

 If it is version related, then this is the first item, apart from actually not updateing that has gone wrong since that verson was superseeded 14 months or so ago. It says good things indeed about the stability of Windows 10.

 Any input on this matter would be appreciated.

Thanks all, MikleB

Screenshot Captor / Re: Delete white space
« on: March 30, 2020, 11:28 AM »
G'day mouser,

Ok, now I know. I must have missed it when I looked. It was 'late' last night when I went searching.

 I don't really use Screenshot Captor to remove backgrounds that often, just ocasionally with the magic wand as this makes it easy to lift out irregular shaped items from a capture. I usually then further process it in a graphics package to get even closr into the subject. I was mainly interested from a new function/methodoly point of view more than anything else and I was wondering where in the menu I might find the new procedure.

I do use the splice feature extensively though. Still learning my way around Screenshot Captor, and have never used it to 'Photoshop' a capture. Never did I imagine that this could be possible so simply, as that menu item is one I haven't used yet.

Thanks for the heads up.

Cheers again, MikleB
