Screenshot Captor / Idea for text tool: expand %placeholders%

« on: September 01, 2005, 06:42 AM »

i had just an idea for your new "insert text tool":

would it be possible to insert %placeholders% wich will be expanded ?

e.g.
- i will insert text in my snapshot and wrote %windowtitle% , wich should be expanded like in the comment field
- so i get an text stamp into my snapshot like "Start new topic - Mikisoft Internet Explorer"


-- and / or
read the stored comments from the picture , select and insert one or more as text stamp

e.g.
wrote into the text input field (is there any ?) and maybe modify it:
%windowtitle%
%filename% v7.00.1
Test # 03 from: %datetime%

read from comment in picture
and expand and stamp as text:
Post reply - Microsoft Internet Explorer
IEXPLORE.EXE v7.00.1
Test # 03 from: 31/08/2005 , 16:56:46


============
You know you are in 2005 if you sit on the same table for 5 years but work for the 7 company.

Screenshot Captor / Impr. Request: move and resize selection with arrow-keys

« on: August 20, 2005, 02:43 PM »

I'd like to suggest to move the selection in the SC main window with the 4 arrow keys.

Also i suggest to resize this selection with Ctrl+arrow-keys.


f.ex.
- i had a small selection in the main window and do something with them.
- than i want to move this selection horizontally but not vertical

First solution could be to hold down an key like CTRL to move only in one (the first) direction
Second solution could be to use the arrow -keys for that movement.
( EXTRA: Holding down SHIFT-key while move with arrow-keys
could increase the speed of movement. )


CTRL+arrow for resize i would use for a kind of "fine tunig" the selection


Just thoughts

Screenshot Captor / Feature req: disable hot keys

« on: August 20, 2005, 10:38 AM »

For some reason one would have trouble with hot keys
and want to be able to disable all SC hotkeys from TNA-menu
for not to exit SC.

I suggest an TNA-menu item "Disable Hotkeys"

Screenshot Captor / Improve Request: allow an back slash in file name to create folders

« on: August 19, 2005, 06:09 AM »

If this is easily possible for you

i want to suggest to create new folders with an backslash \ in the file name.


e.g.
[ Name: ] field

i have "Screenshot - 19_08_2005"

i want to add "Test\" bevor "Screenshot - 19_08_2005"
to create an new folder "Test" in my current Folder
and save this file there (or save in the existend folder "Test").

(or even an full path like "D:\this\is\an\Test" ??? )




e.g.
[File Name QuickField]

i want to add "D:\Screenshots\Browser\Opera_%num%"

to autom. create an new folder or save the pics in an existend folder

--------
The ratio between [Name] field and [File Name QuickField] field
in the main window should be alterable if one needs more space for the QuickField.
(on the otherhand: Since the QuickFiels is more static it's not so needful.)

You know, just suggestions.

Screenshot Captor / inquiry: kind of macro ?

« on: August 18, 2005, 06:36 AM »

I don't want to override you nor the application.

Is it easely possible to save a few steps
and repeat them on one of the next picutres ?


like
i want to set this in the Preferences:
---------------------------------------------
SetBorderOutside=9@FFFFFF
SetBorderOutside=3@FF0000
SetBorderOutside=2@000000
IncreaseCanvas=30,L,R,T@FFFFFF
IncreaseCanvas=10,B@0000FF
SetShadow=5,4,4@FFFFFF
;  SaveAs="C:\MyExamplesFolder@JPG

---------------------------------------------
[ Load ]   [ Save as... ]
---------------------------------------------

Than we could press an button to execute this "macro"
on every picture we want

Screenshot Captor / Req: menu buttons for quick access of SC features

« on: August 16, 2005, 02:40 PM »

I don't know if you or others like this...
...but i miss menu buttons for quick access of SC features.

[Select]

[UnSe] [Inve] [Crop] [Hilig] [Shad] [Blur] [Grey] [Dim] [BGD] [Bl'in] [Effe] [Keys]
\ Unselect Selection  \ Highlight around Selection  \Dim  \Blur+Grey+Dim
         \Invert the Selection  \add Shadow   \Grey              \Blur inside
                 \Crop to Selection      \Blur    open Effects settings /   
                                                    show hotkeys settings tab /

         

Here are an less place consuming version:
[Undo] [UnSe] [Inve] [Crop] [Hilig] [Shad] [User] [Effe] [Keys]

The user button could be set by user what the most use: B, G, D, BGD of B inside

All buttons with yellow balloon for an description.
[Effe] should open the Preferences with the Effects tab open.
[Keys] should open the Preferences with the Hotkeys tab open.

Just for discussion, what do others think about this.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Improve: "Band config" behaviour

« on: August 15, 2005, 07:07 AM »

I found the "Band Config" very handy
to find an missed clip           (or for what is this band config meant ?)


1.  )
- why did i don't come back to normal view
if I press the band config button the second time (deaktivate it) ?

I had to choose "Preset | Standard" instead.


2.  )
- If i group by created date
i got a many groups
because it's sorted by seconds.

My created date is like "day.month.year hour:minutes:seconds"

I awaited that the groups are sorted by months, weeks, date or hour only.
Maybe by minutes too, but not by seconds.


-----------

I could imaging an drop down menu
how contain "Year, Month, Week, Day, Hour, Minute"
and an field benear for an amount like "1, 2, 5, 10, 15"

so an user could choose "Day" and wrote an '4' in the field (or choose an default)
to see the clips for the last four days.


---
Maybe i didn't understand this feature right
so pls point me to the right way

Clipboard Help+Spell / Request: paste special clips like DATE or randome quote

« on: August 15, 2005, 06:31 AM »

Iam think for such an clipboard tool
the following features would be handy too:

1.)
- the possibility to insert the current DATE and TIME with %date% %time% %costumdate% and so on

* i want an clip who past the current time

* second i want to use the %placeholders% in my clips
to paste e.g. "downloaded on %year%-%mm%-%dd%"
wich should give me "downloaded on 2005-08-15"


2.)
- the possibility to read an random line (and store the last 20 line numbers for no doublets)
 from an given text file
and paste this line into my document (ok, my eMail) as quotes.


* e.g. i own an text file with a lot of cities
and want to paste one of this randomly into my eMails.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Improve: Modify Format / Case

« on: August 15, 2005, 05:35 AM »

If i have set an template for "Modify Format / Case"

i don't wanna see the option and must aggree again
to execute the formating.

If i have set and store this it will be OK
and should be executed immediately
after press the menu item like "TrimLineBreaks".

Maybe an another check box would be nifty
like "

• show this settings again bevor executing the formatations"

And an UNDO function would be nice ;-)

Clipboard Help+Spell / Request: little pop-up to choose & paste clips

« on: August 15, 2005, 05:26 AM »

Hi mouser,
iam very impressed from your CHS (too !)

But i think i didn't understand the functions right.

Please help me...

It this really necessary to open the hole CHS app
if i wanna insert one of the last clips or an Favorite clip
into my text document  ?

For me it's more nifty to have only a little pop-up
to choose the right clip.
(as alternativ of course, the user should choose in the settings)

Users should choose how many last clips should be showed in this pop-up too.

If i need the full informations or the CHS tools
i will open the hole CHS window from tray or with an another shortcut.


e.g.
After choosing and pasting an Favorit, CHS should minimize on its own.

- i press Ctrl+Alt+V
- CHS appears
- i choose an clip and paste it per dbclick
- and CHS stays in the back ground open...

... shouldn't CHS disappears on its own
after i choosen my clip ?
(OK, optional, user should choose what behaviour he wants)


Pls help me if i miss something.

Right now i use CLCL how have a few nice options

- use Shift twice as trigger for popup (Shift+Shift) (also Ctrl+Ctrl and Alt+Alt)
- this pop up contain the history and/or the templates(Favorites), the user could choose
- this pop up is a simple window without borders and menu
- this pop up apears at caret or mouse position
- move over the items to see an Balloon with the containt
- you could costumize this pop up to launch the proberties of the clipboard app too
- this pop up disappears after i choose one item or press cancel or ESC
- CLCL could also launch external apps (and URLs ?)

- CLCL supports the WIN-key as trigger so i set WIN+V to past history clips (analog to Ctrl+V)
- and with Shift+Shift i pop-up my favorite clips

http://img359.images...p?image=clcl17xy.gif

CLCL one could found here with source:
http://www.nakka.com.../clcl/index_eng.html

(i also supported nakka with suggestions but he ask for japanise correspondence what is over my level )

Screenshot Captor / Improve: capture "Specific Object"

« on: August 14, 2005, 12:58 PM »

If i use "capture object"
it would be nice if the current choosen object / region
would be highlighted by an doted rectangle
for better seeing what will be captured.

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

Also I see
if I start to capture specific object
I can still use ALT+key to open the menu of the current window
plus I could use the arrow keys to choose sub menus

but than i can't capture the menu at its own  (with 1.01.16)

Yes i could do an full window capture and crop the menu later
but the other way would be more handy and less time consuming.

So it would be nice to trigger the 'object capture'
by RMB too
to capture the menu allown.

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


If i choose an menu to open it
and press Ctrl+ALT+O
the menu disappears (because of the ALT key).

If i set an other trigger key than ALT (e.g. Ctrl+PrtSrn)
i could capture the menu with the window too,
 but still not the menu allown.


So i think an ALT for trigger key for "Specific object"
by default is not nifty for not to making-insecure novices.

Just for discuse.

Screenshot Captor / Request: no-install version

« on: August 14, 2005, 11:50 AM »

Ones again thank you for this app and all you answers and support.

Let me say i like this programs how didn't wrote to the registry !!!

One step ahaed i wanna suggest an release without the installer package.

OK, i could install it even with no admin rights (by choosing an folder unter my control)
and than copy it where i want.

But i know a many people wanna use such tools on an USB-Stick
and so this visible "non-install needed feature" would be a great capital.

kind regards
stefan

Screenshot Captor / Request: more format template 's

« on: August 14, 2005, 11:11 AM »

For the filename format templates

i wanna suggest more %placeholder% like:

- %title descrition% of the captured window e.g. "Start new topic - Microsoft Internet Explorer 003.gif"

or "Desktop 002.gif"
or "Workplace 004.png"
if there are no windows title avaible.

This way i get the name of the app in the filename at easy.


Another ideais to store the capture mode in the file name like
- %CapMode% to get
"NewApp Fixed size 160x120.tif"

Or to store the resolution i set the captured image
- ( %Res% ) to get
"ScreenShot- ( 80x60 ).png"
"ScreenShot- ( 320x240 ).png"
to see what is my thumpnail and what is the full picture


Just a few ideas, not necessary any way  (without thoose about windows title, thought )

Screenshot Captor / Request: Auto print

« on: August 14, 2005, 10:56 AM »

For "On Capture" tab and Tray menu

i wanna suggest this two new check boxes:

[X] Auto save        (for to disable the auto save feature one won't want)
[ ] Auto print        (for to automaticly access the standard printer dialog box for every capture)

and maybe
[ ] ASK                  (for to see an dialog box "[Save as...] [Print...] [Cancel]")


Sometimes someone wanna not modify and store the screenshots
but print them out immediately (e.g. to give away or store for documentation issues).

Screenshot Captor / Request: modify (resize or move) "selected region"

« on: August 14, 2005, 10:37 AM »

If i capture an selected region
this region is captured immediately if i release the LMB.

In other capture tools i could first modify the region (resize or move)
and it's only captured if i press the RMB or ENTER (or what else)

I found this second way more nifty and wanna discuse this behaviour.

Screenshot Captor / Request: Capture menu with all capture mode

« on: August 14, 2005, 10:31 AM »

I don't use capture tools every day
so i forgot always the short cuts (like seen in the flash  )

How about an Cature Menu to just choose the capture mode one wants to use ?
(yes i know tray menu, but there are not all modes)

Screenshot Captor / Make the "Filename prefix" 'stand alone' from the template

« on: August 14, 2005, 10:26 AM »

Thanks for such an famos screenshot app 

May i suggest this:

Make the "Filename prefix" in the main window 'stand alone' from the template

- In template i have " Screenshot - %date% "
- in the "Filename prefix" i wrote NewApplication_

so i get an file name like "NewApplication_  Screenshot - DATE.gif"
instead of "NewApplication_ 002.gif"

So i suggest an new format sign %T% to use the template format
with  Filename prefix too, if one want this.
So "NewApplication_ " gives me "NewApplication_ 002.gif" only, what is nifty to quickly change the prefix,
and
"NewApplication_ %T%" will gives me "NewApplication_  Screenshot - DATE 002.gif"

But i don't like to have to add the template for standard
or that i must go to the settings and modify the template.

Just modifying the Filename prefix would be much more nifty.

How do you see that point ?

best regards
stefan
