Hi Mouser,

Here's something I would like added to Screenshot Captor. Sometimes when I choose to capture a selected region, I don't quite capture the area I want. I'm really not that good at picking the right starting point for the capture. So I have to cancel and do it again. It would be handy if the area I first capture had handles that allowed me to change the size of the captured area, and maybe a "move" symbol that would allow me to move the selected area. What do you think?

General Software Discussion / Is there a task scheduler fixer
« on: October 30, 2014, 12:44 AM »
Running Windows 7 Professional on a ThinkPad 510. I have installed a program called "Replay Radio" that captures audio streams off the internet. When I start the program a splash screen opens (it says "Replay Radio") and remain frozen on the screen while I also see an "unexpected error" message that says there is a corrupted task image. I click OK on the error message, the splash screen disappears and the program starts and is usable. I've done some reading on the internet about the Windows Task Scheduler and corrupted task images and fixing corrupted task images involves making changes in several places including the Windows registry. That's probably easy stuff for programmers but it seems pretty complicated (and a little scary) to me, a simple end user. I downloaded a program from Softpedia called "Fix My Task Scheduler" and ran it but it said it found no errors in my Task Scheduler. The conclusion of all this is: wouldn't it be nice if someone with the expertise created a program that would find and fix problems like mine. So if this is the place on the forum to make suggestions for helpful programs, I am making the suggestion.

General Software Discussion / Re: font request
« on: January 02, 2014, 07:17 PM »
I learned cursive writing in a public school. Later on went to a Catholic school with nuns. Oh yeah, the stories I could tell....But they did get across that there was a higher purpose to life than making money.

Thanks to Curt's tip I found the font I was looking for. Had to pay but it was worth it.

General Software Discussion / font request
« on: December 12, 2013, 09:19 PM »
I suspect I am one of the older members of this forum. I learned handwriting (rapidly becoming a lost skill) in the 1950s. In grade 1 we were taught in my home province of British Columbia a style of cursive handwriting called the MacLean Method. I have searched for some time for a cursive font that duplicates the shape of the letters in the MacLean Method. (I can't even find a cursive font in which the lower part of the lower case letter "p" forms a loop as opposed to a straight line.) I would prefer a free font but would be willing to pay a modest fee for what I am looking for.

I don't know if any of the developers in DonationCoders design fonts, but if any do, I would ask them to consider this request.

I have attached an image of the MacLean alphabet.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Citrix issue
« on: January 31, 2012, 09:29 PM »
I looked at Citrix utility you mention but it seems to solve the problem of not being able to copy and paste text between apps opened in a Citrix session and apps opened in the home computer. I don't have that problem. I can copy and paste using CTRL-C and CTRL-V. The problem is that CHS does not see the text, so I can't use CHS to paste old clips from a Citrix session or use CHS to edit a clip copied from a Citrix session. I'm no programmer so I can't even begin to speculate on why this is.
