WOW! 8,843 views and no one knows?

I guess the answer must be classified information.

Today it seems to be working as expected.

Sort of.  Still very slow to load pages sometimes... and to post this.

Don't come here often, but over the past couple of weeks I have regularly had trouble loading the site.

Today got these two different errors:

#1

#2

Had to try posting this about 10 times to get it to post.  Sorry for the double post.  Looks like one of the previous posts that I though didn't go through apparently did.

Screenshot Captor / Uploading image sometimes does not generate direct link to image itself

« on: January 27, 2026, 03:36 PM »

I recently switched to using what I assume will be the final version of SC (4.43.0 BETA) after using the final stable version for many years.

So far, almost everything that I normally use a lot seems to be working as expected.

But there is one feature I use often that is not working the same way it did in the last version I used.

When I take a screenshot and upload it sometimes it works as expected and copies the direct URL of the image to the clipboard.

But other times it copies the URL of the image ON the ImageShack website (see screenshot below) instead of the direct link to the image itself.

Anyone know how to fix it so that it always copies the direct link to the image?

Thanks for any help!

Here is a screenshot of what happens sometimes that I am trying to avoid.  Instead of a direct link to the image itself, the generated URL points to the image inside the ImageShack website.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Is there a better way to navigate around the folder tree in the Thumbnail Panel?

« on: January 05, 2026, 08:02 AM »

I use View >>> Screenshot Panel: Simple list on the left.

-ralfs (January 05, 2026, 05:38 AM)

Thanks for this!  I remember using this option years ago and forgot all about it!  Didn't see anything about it in Preferences (I see it now in 'Interface Options') and didn't spot it on the View menu when I looked at it.

Not quite as good as a tree, but a whole lot better for navigation than the thumbnails.  Good improvement... thanks again!

Screenshot Captor / Is there a better way to navigate around the folder tree in the Thumbnail Panel?

« on: December 31, 2025, 07:53 PM »

Navigating folders is one of the very few weaknesses that I have experienced in SC over the years (to this day it is my favorite screenshot program).

But it's very difficult and slow to navigate the folder tree in the Thumbnail Panel.  Sometimes I need to move around the folder tree while using SC and I have to use my file manager because it's too hard to do in SC.  I have to navigate to the file in the file manager, then click on it to open the image in SC.  Then if I need to work on another image elsewhere on the tree I have to go back to my file manager and repeat the process.

I am sure I must have asked about this before maybe quite a few years ago and assume there is no better way to navigate.

However I don't remember asking so I thought I would try again.

Is there any way to make folder navigation easier right within SC such as showing the folder tree in the Thumbnail Panel instead of the thumbnails or some other way to navigate efficiently?  That would make it much faster and easier to move around.

Thanks for any help!

Screenshot Captor / Re: Not saving with filename specified in preferences

« on: February 19, 2025, 01:19 PM »

In the main ScreenshotCaptor window you've in the lower right-hand corner a field for quick file naming.
This is for quick naming a series of screenshots aside the default setting.
Maybe you've put some text in there.

Bullseye!  Thanks much!

You can change the vertical window size of that bottom pane with those name fields on it and I had it scrunched down so that it was almost hidden and wasn't able to see that there was anything in it.  Thanks a whole lot for the great guess!

Miss Mouser.  Does he ever make an appearance on the site these days?

Thanks again!

Screenshot Captor / Not saving with filename specified in preferences

« on: February 14, 2025, 11:00 PM »

Several months ago I was playing with the filename to save a file with.

I don't remember if I changed the name in preferences or changed it in the field in the capture popup that's called something like "Override name"

Anyway, I named the file "345".  Now every time I save a file it is named "345."  But it is sequencing so that if a file with that name already exists, it will add a number to it such as "345 03".

I cannot figure out how to get it to stop using that name and start using the name I have set in the preferences file (screenshot below).

Last resort will be to fiddle with the .ini file but hoping someone here knows how to do it through the program.

Thanks for any help!

Screenshot Captor / Re: Prevent launching file manager after capture

« on: October 15, 2024, 08:22 PM »

It did take me a few minutes of tinkering to figure it out looking thru options and experimenting since I hardly use that button.

-hamradio (October 15, 2024, 05:36 PM)

And thanks for trying to make me feel better about it!    Getting old is tough.

My grandfather was an on the air amateur in the early 1900s.  Built his own gear including a spark gap transmitter at one time.  It was before there was licensing.  When WW1 started, they were going house to house confiscating any transmitters people had to prevent spying.  He was only a teen.  They took his gear and he was never on the air again.  I have a picture of him in his "shack."  It is MEGA cool!

So it's in my blood line.

Okay... apologies for getting off topic and thanks again to all!

If you are changing the directory of each screenshot after each capture it could be this highlighted option under misc tweaks maybe...]

-hamradio (October 15, 2024, 05:36 PM)

Bullseye!

Thank you hamradio!  That is it and as soon as you pointed it out, I remembered setting it years ago.

This might say something about why I couldn't find it.  I've been a licensed ham for about 57 years. My age is showing and then some. 

Thank you again to you and to Ath and to Mouser!

Screenshot Captor / Re: Prevent launching file manager after capture

« on: October 14, 2024, 06:54 PM »

In the Preferences screen, there's a page full of 'Post capture options' to choose from. Most likely you've set one of the options there that's causing this behavior, maybe a Commandline tool?

-Ath (October 14, 2024, 01:17 PM)

Thank you for your response.

Yes, I felt sure it must be on that list too but I have already studied the Capture and Post Capture options and did not see it.

I should mention it happens when using the "Save Image As" button on the post capture pop-up dialog.  After you select the folder and save it, the file manager pops up.  I can't find any way to stop the file manager from launching after it saves, but unless my memory is failing (which is possible) I could swear I once had it set so it did not do that and changed it... some years ago.

I don't think it has to do with a command line... can probably rule that out.

First... even though it has not been developed in a couple of years, SC is STILL THE BEST screenshot capture app I have ever seen.  Been using it 10 or 15 years...maybe more? (I lost count) and there is nothing better TO THIS DAY.

The last time I was here was around January 2024 I think I asked if Mouser is still around.  I was told he was but a quick check and I didn't see any posts from him in this part of the forum anyway.  Just want to give him a shout out!

I am almost certain I used to be able to take "Grab Selected Region" captures without the file manager opening after each capture.  I thought I vaguely remembered that at one time I changed a preference and it started doing that.  But now I want to turn it off and can't find the setting!

Anyone know if there is a setting to prevent that darn file manager from popping up after each capture?

Thank you!

-publicdomain (January 13, 2024, 07:40 PM)

AWESOME! I am so glad to hear that.  I was concerned about him the last time I was here not knowing where he was.

Years ago he was so generous to spend a lot of time to help me with a SC problem and I never forgot his generosity!  It is still to this day the best screenshot program available anywhere!

Screenshot Captor / Show other file types in left hand file tree panel?

« on: January 13, 2024, 06:49 PM »

I would like to be able to show ALL file types in the left hand file tree panel.  Is there some setting that would allow that?

Currently it shows image type files and for some reason also .pdf files which SC cannot display.

Thanks!

PS: Does Mouser ever appear here anymore?  Just curious.

I remember making a pack, but I don't remember if mouser included them with the program.

I have attached them to this post.

-app103 (August 06, 2023, 04:30 PM)

Awesome!  These are great!  Thank you very much.

I hope mouser is well.  I only talked to him once or twice here years ago but thought he was a really nice (and talented!) guy.  Kind of sad not to see him around and wonder if he at least still checks in now and then.  If so THANK YOU mouser.  SC is still the best screenshot software I have ever come across. 

And thank you again app103.

Hi

When using Screenshot Captor clipart I was prompted to go to the site to find additional clipart.  But I could not find it.

Does it exist and can you tell me where to find it?

Thank you!

Quick follow-up.  I also unchecked the boxes in the anti-aliasing settings as I found I was still getting fuzziness when flattening in some cases.  That fixed it all.

Thanks again mouser!

#1
YOU WORK TOO MUCH!  This is the second time you have helped me on a Sunday.

#2
I almost don't have words for how cool this program is.  It looks like you were right!  I simply set anti-aliasing to "Never," and this particular issue anyway seems to have disappeared.  Yet another level of super fantastic detailed settings this program has that I never knew about.  I absolutely love the depth of adjustments SC has.  There is nothing else out there that can match it.

If I understand your question correctly, yes, the fuzziness was happening at 100% zoom.  When I made the screenshot in the first post in this thread zoom was at 100%.  So it appears it was the aliasing!

Thank you mouser.  You are amazing!

Screenshot Captor / Fuzzy Text

« on: May 03, 2020, 02:21 PM »

Okay, I have alluded to it before, but haven't provided much detail.  Here is an example of fuzzy text I get doing certain things.

In this case, I create a text box and put some text in it.  It looks fine as long as the text box is selected.  But when I unselect it, or flatten the text box, the text gets fuzzier and more out of focus looking.  This example demonstrates that, but it's not the best example, it's just something that I came across while working on something else and decided to use it to document this problem.

Sometimes the text gets so blurry and fuzzy that it's hard to read (maybe it depends on the font, size, background color and or properties, etc.).  You can see what I mean here.  In this case the blurriness just kind of makes it look like it's been changed to bold.

So sometimes it's frustrating that it looks fine when I have the box selected, but then it looks horrible when I flatten it.
