Automatic Screenshotter / Program not responding reliably to active window changes

« on: February 26, 2019, 05:51 PM »

I use a remote server to allow access to some Amateur Radios. When someone connects to one of the radios, the active window changes to show the word "Connected" followed on the next lines by the users callsign, name, and IP address.

First, I tried the Capture Option is "Active Window or Desktop if none (default)
and I have an active Window (highlighted title bar)
Then I choose Capture Now
it captures everything, not the active window.
It seems that if I set the program to capture the active window (with the title bar)
it should only capture that window.

---------------------

I also set the threshold to 10 pixels (far fewer than what will change)

The program doesn't catch the changes described above.

I then set the program to watch a "Specific Region" approach, that didn't work either.

I selected "Capture whenever the active window changes" but
changes in that window are not captured.

If this does work, I have over 500 users following a facebook page
using this remote program that can make use of your program,
not to mention the thousands of other remote access programs that
can benefit from screen captures when things change (users login).

Any suggestions?

Attached is a portion of a sample screen ==  when the word << Connected >> appears
the screen capture should record this change. It doesn't do it reliably.
