Issue with secondary windows from PopUp Choice Dialog...
« on: October 21, 2010, 02:11 PM »
I'm new to using this program, but I think I'm encountering a bug...
I use the PopUp Choice Dialog when I create screenshots.  If I click on a button that generates another SC window (Options or either of the Send to choices) the resulting window comes up behind the choice dialog... I don't know if this is normal behavior, but if it could minimize or close the choice dialog, or at least change focus and what window is on top, it would be much easier to work with.  "Send via email to..." is particularly problematic, as it forces focus on that window, but the choice dialog remains on top and can't be hidden, so you can't work with the send mail window very easily.

i'll check into it -- certainly seems like a bug.  since i dont use the popup dialog it's not uncommon for me to not notice problems with it.

Hi, Just checking in... I don't know if you've gotten to look at this or not, but if you have, I was curious if you have a general idea of when it might be fixed (if it is indeed a bug)... Basically, I'm looking to deploy this to a number of machines in our school district and am wondering if it is worth waiting until the next release or if I should put this version out for now until a fix for this issue is available.  I hesitate because this is a feature our users are likely to be using, so it will get noticed in our environment.

I've tested it, watching for both the issues I saw before and any other general usage issues that might have come up... It seems to be working perfectly.  Once again, thanks so much for getting back so quickly on this.  If only every program were supported so well!

Glad to hear it seems to be working!  Once i get a few more reports I will make this version the new official release.

ps. This is also the first version that includes minimal built-in update checking for those who don't have the dcupdater tool installed.
