Screenshot Captor seems to have ideas a little above its station. Far from just being a screenshot app – and, rest easy, it does do that – it'll grab images from your webcam, and it even includes a full suite of scanning tools to make sure your documents look their best.

Great work and well-deserved recognition!

Hi Mouser,

nice to hear that you're looking for more feature ideas.

I remember some old ideas (but didn't find the original forum-topics):

  • customizable toolbars, buttons for more (all) menu entries (my most commonly used functions are'nt available as toolbar buttons)
  • bigger toolbar buttons
  • customizable hotkeys for menu entries (functions)

You have the bigger toolbar buttons, so that's great :-).

I'm on board with allowing customization of the buttons - at least letting us add some of the great built-in effects to the toolbar (pixelate for me).

I use this nearly every day at work even though they provide SnagIt. Nothing beats the yellow highlight box you have without doing a lot of work. Time for another donation to help keep this worth it!

Thanks for the great software!

Jim

General Software Discussion / Re: Synergy Plus
« on: July 16, 2010, 09:30 AM »
What Synergy2 and its derivatives have lacked is a two-layer approach to handling the mouse inputs like Multiplicity (Stardock). Because of this, if you install Synergy2/Synergy+ as a user, it will only accept input when you are running user-mode programs. When you switch to admin-mode programs, it will not accept input until you switch back to user-mode.

If you install Synergy2/Synergy+ in admin mode, it will only accept input when you are working on admin-mode programs. Whichever window has focus determines which "mode" you are in.

The proper solution for Synergy2/Synergy+ to run as desired in Windows Vista / 7 is to have two service apps, one for user-mode input and one for admin-mode input. This is fairly well documented in MS development documentation and various developer forums, but it's a pain to implement.

A potential road block to this development approach is that the Synergys are coded to work across OSes as well as computers, and OS X / Linux don't have the same execution model as Windows.

The whole reason I use Synergy instead of my licensed Multiplicity Pro is that I have Windows PCs and a MacBook Pro (running OS X sometimes and Win 7 sometimes) that I share my KB/Mouse with. Multiplicity does not come with an OS X client/server. When I run Win & on the Mac, I deal with the few times I run admin-mode programs by typing on the Mac keyboard. It's a pain, but it works.

Post New Requests Here / Re: Idea - Return *new* lines from a text file (w/ example)
« on: July 16, 2010, 08:23 AM »
1. The calling script is written in what language?
2. Do you want a command-line app that just returns the new test to stdout (CON:)?

I have a few thoughts... if I can write a function that you can embed in your script, then keeping the file size between calls is much easier. If I write a quick DOS program to do this, then I'd build it this way:
if you call the program with only the file name, I will return the file size to you. If you call the program with the file name AND the file size, I will return the new file size, a newline, then the text beginning at the character+1 position you submitted as the second parameter to the call.

This should be pretty easy, IMO.
