If there's time: the feature "SpecialFx > Border Around Image > Simple Border Around Image - Inside CTRL+ B" still doesn't follow the color settings in the options; the border is always black.

And a hot key for the "Simple Border Around Image - Outside" would be nice.

Try the new pixelate effect!

v2.93.01 - Mar 23rd, 2011
  • [Feature] Added new Pixelate filter (see options on SpecialEffects tab).
  • [MinorFeature] Added options for setting default print units and orientation (landscape, etc.)
  • [BugFix] When pasting bitmaps from clipboard, a border was put around them.
  • [MinorFeature] Additional attempt to speed up object editing mode when lots of objects on screen.
  • [BugFix] Custom border color was being ignored on some border options.
  • [MinorFeature] New option (set by default) to not attempt aero transparent capture on full-screen windows, since this can bump them out of full screen status.
  • [Feature] Improved built-in update checker.

Thanks for the latest update and I like the pixelate option. I don't know if the splice keyboard shortcut is new but that is also useful.

With the internal update check I've got the information, that my version (91) is the newest one. Then I downloaded the 93rd version directly and now the internal update check said:
You have a newer version (v2.93.01) than what's on the web (v2.91.01).

You may want to install the full DcUpdater application to support more powerful update checking (s ...

What's wrong?

Kind regards

the updater should find that version 2.93.01 is on the web -- the fact that it thinks the web version is 2.91.01 make me wonder if you aren't seeing a cached version of the online update file for some reason.  but you DO have the latest version.

You're right, seems there is somewhere a cached version...

Thanks for the fast response!

Thanks for this great program. Love it.

I am running the latest 2.93.01 on Win7. I am not getting the thumbnails of the images I snap like I used to on XP. Instead I get some generic images from the OS. Is there anyway I can restore the thumbnails so it shows the snapped image.

Any help would be appreciated. This is driving me nuts.

Minor update:

v2.95.01 - June 6, 2011
  • [BugFix] When capturing scans, the previous screencapture active window info could be kept in image comments.
  • [MinorFeature] Added Pixelate *outside* region special effect.
  • [Feature] Fixed bug in sorting by date and added new options to sort by either creation date or lastmodification date.
  • [BugFix] Windows 7 (vista?) could give error on startup about inability to create a .redirect file for update checker.

Heads up: now that i'm back into the swing of updates i hope to do another SC update this month and try to improve scrolling capture.

Hi!

The flash movie of Screenshot Captor stops after a minute or so into the movie.
I tried this out on the latest Opera Browser (Version 11.11) and also IE 7.
Anyone else having this problem? Thanks!

If you mean the movie viewable via:

  https://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/screenshotcaptor/Movie_ScreenshotCaptor/ScreenShotCaptor4.html

I also noticed the movie stopping shortly after hearing something like:

  "Let me just bring up some windows here..."

I tried this with relatively recent versions of FF, Chromium, and Midori -- viewing a downloaded version of the movie.  FWIW, I was able to hear further using smplayer.

May be the screencasts for ScreenshotCaptor mentioned in the topic / thread:

  https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=19375.0

can work as substitutes.  I think they may be more recent too.

You are right, ewemoa!
The first link in your post does not work.
The last link, however, works.
I found that after posting my message!  :)
Thanks!

Installed most recent (2.95.02) and just for curiosity, tried to check new version with autoupdate (Help -> Check for updates) and updater pops up big window indicating, that my version is newer than version database haves... Well, that's not a real issue but ... this window... There are no "Close this window" button etc anywhere.... and when I tried to capture this screen with Screenshot Captor itself, it only captured _empty_ notice window with only text "UPDATE CHECK" on it. All

I have a strong feeling about lurking bug here :)

Hi,

I have the same problem with there being no close option anywhere on the Update check screen in ScreenshotCaptor, I was however able to capture the window properly with it's text (see attached image).  The other thing is the text says "You have a newer version (v2.95.02) than what's on the web (v2.95.01)." which is rather interesting.

Regards,
Terry

Hopefully this latest release will fix some issues people have been having with last version.. If I introduced any new issues in the process please let me know.

v2.96.01 - Aug 2, 2011
  • [MinorFeature] You can now reselect the last selection region location (see Edit menu); useful for selecting same area in multiple files, or reselection region after an undo.
  • [MinorFeature] Added new option to help aero transparency capture of child windows; note that you now have to make sure the child window is off of the parent background form to get a good aero capture.
  • [Feature] Added GoTo menu for quick jumping between favorite folders; moved some File menu items into it.  Startup screenshot folder auto-added to list.
  • [MinorFeature] Added option to hide tray icon completely; not recommended.
  • [BugFix] Captures from Opera did not get url;
  • [BugFix] Captures from chrome on https pages had incorrect urls in notes.
  • [Feature] Added commandline screenshot emailing option, and includes the sendmail.exe commandline tool; useful for people who need to be able to send secure smtp emails or who want to use a custom batch file for sending emails. (If you plan to use this feature you need to download the sendEmail executable from http://caspian.dotco.../Software/SendEmail/).
  • [MinorFeature] Built with lastest shell browser library for thumbnail panel.
  • [BugFix] Update check dialog could be missing Close button.
  • [BugFix] Last build may not have been configured to use the new CommonControls from windows, which fix a few bugs mentioned in past updates).

Re: LATEST VERSION INFO THREAD - ScreenshotCaptor - 2.99.01 - Sep 7, 2011
« Reply #270 on: September 07, 2011, 06:48 PM »
A medium sized update:

v2.99.01 - Sep 7, 2011
  • [Minor Feature] New checkbox in SaveAs dialog to strip all metadata on save (remembers last setting)
  • [Feature] You can now set blend mode for highlight boxes and text boxes -- lets you keep the text underneath clearly visible.
  • [BugFix] Increased speed of object editing.
  • [BugFix] SaveAs would lock the destination folder from deletion; fixed.
  • [Minor Feature] You can now set the background color for text labels on arrows.
  • [BugFix] Spliceout was not preserving alpha transparency.
  • [Minor Feature] Splice out operation now asks about vertical or horizontal if its not clear from selection.
  • [Minor Feature] You can now set a custom capture sound.
  • [Minor Feature] You can now set origin point styles for arrow line label text.
  • [BugFix] Increased height margin for line arrow text label borders.
  • [BugFix] Fixed bug where typing text on arrow labels could become very slow; fix should speed up text editing in all cases, and improve anti-alias look of memo and line text; try 2.
  • [Minor Feature] Transparency of memo boxes and labels now excludes text, which is always opaque.
  • [Minor Feature] Early first attempt at improved arrow connection points on labeled lines.
  • [Feature] Added support and help for the excellent free open source 3rd party uploader tool ZUploader (from the makers of the screenshot tool ZScreen); supports auto or tool-based upload to various image hosting sites like imageshack, and many more.

See new arrow text screenshot: here.

More improvements to come!

I got excited and just pushed a new update which provides generous support for uploading screenshots using the free open source ZUploader 3rd party tool.

From Screenshot Captor you will see help for installing ZUploader in the options

  • A checkbox to auto queue in zuploader after taking a screenshot
  • A menu item in tray to upload last file
  • A menu item in the SendTo menu of the post capture pop-up dialog
  • A tool menu item in the main Tools menu.


In short, just install ZUploader and Screenshot Captor will know how to use it.

Works fine for me. Both XP SP3 with up to date copy and Windows 7 Pro 32 bit with out of date copy.

Maybe the non-English version of Windows or the "really old" version of ScreenShot Captor - my example below was running 2.93.01
