"Incorrect" filename for "Grab selected region"

(1/5) > >>

sba:
Most often, when capturing a region I get a filename where %windowtitlepure% is replaced by an empty string.

Today I got something strange: this got expanded to the "massaged window title" of some window that was on my desktop, not even belonging to the app (IE) I captured a region from...

What's the official spec for how %windowtitlepure% is supposed to be expanded?

mouser:
This is good timing because I'm about to release a new beta for testing and maybe I can fix this..

I suspect that Grab Selected Region is getting the info of the active foreground window, regardless of what are of the screen you select.  Can you verify that?

sba:
Seems to be indeed something like that.

Except when the active window is a Windows Explorer window, in which case %windowtitlepure% expands to an empty string. That's also the case BTW if you capture the entire active Windows Explorer window (whereas I would expect this to be the window's caption i.e. the full path to the directory in my case).
 

mouser:
Ok let me see If maybe i can't improve that.

sba:
you probably meant "if I can improve that"  ;)
