Screenshot Captor / Imageshack upload no longer working

« on: February 07, 2019, 02:20 PM »

When uploading to Imageshack I received this error:

[Select]

Error, web service rejected upload: rejected by imageshack; see log for error

This is the link connected to the error:

The log wasn't helpful but from the "activate" in the URL it seemed that Imageshack required authentication. So I signed up and entered my credentials in Screenshot Captor. It now works.

The only problem is that I am now on a 30 day free trial then I have to pay. Imageshack no longer appears to be free.

Am I missing something? If not, what do you think would be the best alternative?

Thanks,
Steve

Screenshot Captor / Add Colorcop Color Picker to right-click menu in tray

The title says it all. As far as I can see, the easiest way to launch Colorcop is to open Screenshot Captor. It would be simpler to launch it from the tray menu.

Just a little tweak to make an exquisite tool a tiny bit better.

Living Room / PM etiquette and blocking

« on: July 06, 2010, 08:19 AM »

I feel kind of petty and foolish posting this, but I guess I just can't help myself.

A few days ago I received a lengthy and somewhat annoying PM. It wasn't annoying enough to report and I took the time to write a good faith reply. Submitting the PM resulted in a message that the recipient was blocking my PMs. I assume my correspondent was rightfully afraid that I'd point out the flaws in his thinking.

I was stunned at the sheer cowardice, but I was mostly annoyed that a hit-and-run PM like that is possible, especially since I'd never PM'd that person before. I'd still like to send the reply without going public. Does anyone have thoughts on how to do that without breaking any rules?

Also, can anyone explain how to block PMs?

Finished Programs / SOLVED: Auto suspend programs when focus changes to new window & free up resources

« on: February 18, 2010, 10:28 PM »

I usually overload my computer with too many simultaneous programs. Before I know it, CPU usage is through the roof. I figure that I have two choices - become more disciplined about shutting down programs or request a coding snack. Self-discipline is not my strong suit so here I am.

Sometimes I lower CPU usage by suspending programs with Process Explorer. It's almost inevitable that I'll forget to resume a program and have to waste time figuring out why I can't switch to the window.

Would it be possible to auto-suspend programs when the focus changes to another window and automatically resume when the focus switches back? The program would reside in the system tray. Features would include a list of programs that never should never be suspended and check boxes to suspend/resume programs in the system tray. There would also be a way for one time switches that would leave a program running - something like a hot key in lieu of alt-tab.

The result would be a minimal number of processes running at once, which would free up a tremendous amount of system resources. Is this possible or am I living in a fantasy world?
