Screenshot Captor / Re: Screenshot Captor keeps saving PCX files

« on: March 15, 2013, 01:55 PM »

I need more information.  I can't figure out what you are saying happens..

So you go to options, you change that drop down list to JPG.
You exit SC.
You restart SC.
You go to options -- what does it show in the default file save format box? JPG or PCX?
Is it saving other options changes you make?

Is it that the options are showing JPG but its saving new screenshots as PCX? or it is that the options are reverting to PCX? Or is it something else?

Are you saying it works fine until you restart SC? Or are you saying it NEVER saves in jpg?

Just walk me through exactly what you are doing and seeing please.

It reads JPG in the image format settings (because I told it to, and applied it), but is saving pcx files. Restarting SC doesn't help.

I need some clarification on what you say is happening -- are you saying if you change that to JPG that it doesn't obey this when creating new screenshots?

In other words, can you walk me through exactly what you are doing, what you are seeing, and what you expected to happen in contrast to what actually happened.


ps. unless you are in an alternate universe, no one should be using anything but PNG for screenshots.

You summed up my problem. I keep changing the image format in settings to JPG. I apply it. Then the next time I use SC, it saves the screenshot as PCX.

Screenshot Captor / Screenshot Captor keeps saving PCX files

« on: March 14, 2013, 09:57 PM »

Downloaded Screenshot Captor for Windows 8 (64) (yes, I know Windows 8 blows, but you try buying a new laptop without it) after being a longtime user.

Everything works except SC's proclivity for saving image files as .PCX format. I've repeatedly changed the setting to be JPG format, but it doesn't take.

Any ideas?

Note: I had to change the uploaded file to jpg
