DonationCoder.com Software > Screenshot Captor

Edited configdir.ini and it still creates Doncation coder in documents..

Dark_Reflection:
I'm currently running screenshot captor off of a usb thumb drive but on my vista box it constantly (each time the screenshotcaptor.exe is run) remakes a folder in
C:\Users\name\Documents\

I have the settings on it set to save to a folder inside the usb thumb drive but never-the-less it saves to my documents inside that folder anyway, as if over-ridden. I've attempted installing and uninstalling thinking the registry was modified at some point and perhaps it was the problem but it didn't help.

What makes this very odd for me is that on my windows XP box it doesn't have this issue at all, but at the same time I never installed it on the xp box. Deciding to use it on usb thumb rather than installing it and hence un-installing it from the vista box.

I tried editing the  "configdir.ini" but I'm not very familiar with any of this so the only change i made was

 CONFIGDIR =/screen/

hoping that it would save on the usb thumb in the local folder it was being run from. Am I simply doing something wrong or is this an odd bug?

(I tried searching for a related topic on the forums and couldn't find anything right off hand but didn't really spend a half hour searching either. If this has been made and answered before I apologize.)

mouser:
two things jump out at me, one is make sure you dont have the // at the begining of the CONFIGDIR = line
and the second is that you probably should be doing
CONFIGDIR = .\screen\

you might try that and see if it works, if not can you send me or attach to this thread your configdir.ini file ([email protected]) and i'll have a look and see.

truth be told the VISTA support came after CONFIGDIR support and i need to check the screenshot captor source to make sure its obeying the settings under vista.

Dark_Reflection:
Just tried out the .\screen\
when running it it still wants to create

"DonationCoder\ScreenshotCaptor\Screenshots\"

but this time it returns an error  .\screen\donationcoder\screenshotcaptor\screenshots\   "Can't find specified path"   I could simply create the path but I was hoping it would save the screenshot directly to \screen\   as it does on windows xp.

I went to go create the path and it's already there but seems to not be able to find it. I'm pretty sure this is a vista related problem as the software works beautifully on xp.

I'll keep toying with it some.

mouser:
sounds like a vista thing -- i'll see if i can't fix it and release a new version with a couple more fixes in the next week.

mouser:
Another thing to make sure is that you need to delete your ScreenshotCaptor.ini file or else clear the FolderPathEdit.Text line in the ini file because if it has a specific directory already specified then it wont matter what you change the CONFIGDIR to, it will still try to use that.
