Grab Selected Region doesn't behave the same way
« on: October 07, 2007, 10:13 AM »
SC v2.37.01

I upgraded to the latest version of SC and tried the "shift-prtscr" key combo to select a region of the screen that I want to capture. Before I would have to drag the mouse cursor to define a rectangle that would be captured. Now a red frame pops up that I can move around to capture the area. If I double click the frame's title it switches to object selection.

Is this change intentional?

you are describing "red box capture" mode.  in the options you can choose when to use this red box capture method, if at all:

Mouser, thanks for the tip.

As I have played with it for the last couple of days I have grown to like the red box feature. It allows me to more accurately capture screen shots then the old method.

Keep up the good work!
