Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Clipboard Help+Spell Extended Clipboard Format Data Discussion Thread
« Last post by mouser on February 17, 2020, 07:25 AM »
New version uploaded.
I had to make some more elaborate changes to the multi-format "blob" data used by chs, such that previous blob data in clips from prior alpha versions won't be readable by this version.

I've still got quite a bit of work to do bringing everything in line with the new code, but CHS should be pretty good at saving and restoring the complete set of formats associated with clips, and hopefully handling duplicate detection, etc.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Error when capturing screenshot
« Last post by mouser on February 14, 2020, 10:58 AM »
It does sound like Screenshot Captor is having a hard time dealing with the settings file at the redirected server location.
What you could do is:
  • Exit screenshot captor
  • Edit the ConfigDir.ini file in the C:\Program Files x86\ScreenshotCaptor\ directory, and tell it to store your Screenshot Captor settings file someplace on a local drive (making sure to uncomment the lines where you tell it what directory to use).

A question to users regarding saving image data:

When I added image clip support to CHS, I implemented it by saving image clips to stand alone standard image files (png typically), stored in a subdirectory organized by date.
I think there are some real advantages of this over storing raw image data in the standard clip database:
  • Saving images in standard external files makes it easier to browse and view them with a 3rd party viewer, search/filter by date, size, etc.
  • Keeps the database size more manageable.
  • Is less prone to data corruption.
  • Ability to store images in smaller compressed image file formats

But now that I'm adding support for storing larger blobs of binary data in the database, I'd be curious if folks would prefer to have image data stored in the normal clip database as well? Is there any point in adding support for this option?
I can't think of any (other than it would have been easier to implement from the start but that's moot at this point).

I've got a big TODO list related to the multiformat stuff, some harder than others.
I'd love to hear what people think are their top priorities for using this new extended format version.

That's normal -- I have the image downloading turned off.. If I turn it on it will look closer to the actual capture of the html, but it would be downloading the images to view them in the preview, which I'm not sure people want and not sure really what the point is.
Remember that CHS is not like a web-page-archiving tool.. There are some of those that download an entire web page and all of it's associated images for offline use.. That's not going to be something that CHS does.

For that you might try the Local Website Archive tool: https://www.aignes.com/lwa.htm

I'd like to hear more from you about how you'd like to use CHS so we can figure out what features might be most important and usable.

CHS is a little smarter now about saving redundant formats that it doesn't need to.

Try redownloading; new version has html preview and unicode preview.

Another surprise discovery is that the html block saved to the clipboard by browsers has the url of the page embedded in it.. This means I can more reliably grab the source url from modern browsers in the future.

When I copy something from the web, I do not get a same-format preview, and there's no Rich Text tab.

Yeah you can see in the BlobInfo tab that copying from a web browser does not get you RichText format, it gets you HTML format, which CHS won't preview..  I might be able to add an HTML preview tab though..

Just make sure you have the options set to capture RichText, and then try capturing some richtext from MS Word or something similar.

So are you saying when you hit the shift+prtscr hotkey to do a region select, the monitor zoomed in size?
And the problem does not happen when you hit normal prtscr to capture the entire desktop?
Do you have multiple monitors?

Screenshot Captor / Re: PC crashes After Enter 'Scanner Options'
« Last post by mouser on February 11, 2020, 05:02 PM »
It goes without saying that it should never crash the program going to the scanner tab, so I will look at the code and see what might be causing it..
It could be a bug in my code or it could be a scanner driver bug..

« Last post by mouser on February 11, 2020, 12:15 PM »
The program is probably trying to connect to your physical scanner and ask windows about it.. Do you have a scanner connected and turned on?

Maybe worth trying to reboot your computer and/or update any driver for your scanner.

I'm assuming you've never used the scanner functions of SC before, correct? It's not that they were working before and now crash?

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Invalid docking layout stream header
« Last post by mouser on February 06, 2020, 10:02 PM »
When I booted up I received this message "Error EX54: Invalid docking layout stream header"

I'm not sure what happened that would cause that error, but I know it must mean that your docking layout files are somehow corrupt.
If the problem persists after you exit and restart CHS, you should be able to solve the problem by exiting CHS and then deleting the files:
PresetViews\Last.preset.dock
PresetViews\Last.preset.grid
PresetViews\Last.preset

Which should be subdirectories of your settings directory, which will be under like MyDocs\DonationCoder\ClipboardHelpAndSpell

Screenshot Captor / Re: LATEST VERSION INFO THREAD - ScreenshotCaptor - v4.36.1 - Jan 2, 2020
« Last post by mouser on February 05, 2020, 10:33 AM »
On my more popular applications, like Screenshot Captor, sometimes I release a new version, and then find some tiny little thing I want to tweak a few days later, which really isn't important.  At that point, I'm hesitant to tell the updater data about it, because it will basically trigger a new download for everyone, when it's not important.

So in these cases, I'll update the internal version to like 4.36.2 but I won't modify the version in the updater online file.
