Automatic Screenshotter / Re: Error Box -- Cannot create new PNG
« Last post by mouser on January 08, 2020, 07:55 PM »
I've added code in the new version to detect the situation where those values might be missing and complain/warn the user.

Automatic Screenshotter / Re: some suggestions
« Last post by mouser on January 08, 2020, 02:29 PM »
In the options of Media Browser I unchecked "Start minimized" !!!
Ah i thought I had fixed that already -- so that if the program is launched by another app via commandline that it should not start minimized.
In fact starting minimized for MousersMediaBrowser seems a bit silly in general..

"In virtual tree, start with nodes all expanded".
I will check..

Anyone else can try launching the internal MousersMediaBrowser from within Automatic Screenshotter?

Would you mind redownloading and trying again -- if it fails this time then I'll add a message and upload another version to tell me what is going wrong.

But MousersMediaBrowser still doesn't run!

It should just be trying to launch it from the same directory as AutomaticScreenshotter.. I thought I spotted an extra \ in the path that I suspected was causing the problem.. let me check again..

Thanks for the suggestions, horst!

Can you try this beta download:

And see if I have fixed the following:
  • selecting View/Launch internal screenshot browser nothing happens,
  • "FileName_manual" instead of "manual_FileName"

Automatic Screenshotter / Re: Error Box -- Cannot create new PNG
« Last post by mouser on January 08, 2020, 09:27 AM »
Ops!
Probably you helped me to find the cause of this error!
When I entered into options in order to change from png to jpg, I realized that both "format" and "Quality" fields where empty!
I just reselected "png" and "2" and now everything seems to be OK again!
You should just change your code in order not to allow that these fields may be blank.

Well that's a good clue.

As for them being blank.. They should never be blank.. That shouldn't quite be possible.. The fact that they were suggests that the program may have malfunctioned while shutting down and saving its settings..

But this does give me something I can check for at startup, to alert the user about if it finds the settings blank..

Android Apps / Re: Problem getting When Last sync with Dropbox
« Last post by mouser on January 08, 2020, 08:23 AM »
Dropbox canceled their sync api, so WhenLast sync no longer works.. 
I've got plans for a replacement sync function, but it will be a while..
You can still manually export a file from WhenLast on one device and import it on another, for a one time thing..

The most valuable thing would be if someone could figure out a pattern to when the error occurs and doesn't..

Automatic Screenshotter / Re: Error Box -- Cannot create new PNG
« Last post by mouser on January 08, 2020, 08:08 AM »
The fact that the files are there and black and the right size is a real clue.. it seems to rule out a problem with actually saving the file, and more to do with the png data being somehow problematic.. I wonder if it could be something to do with the auxilliary data in the png file (exif, file comments) somehow causing it problems..

Before I work on that hypothesis, can you try redownloading the latest alpha version (see link in previous post above), and then assuming the error is still happening can you tell me:
1. Your operating system.. win10 or winxp?
2. Does the error happen with every capture, or are some successful? Any pattern as to which work and which give error?
3. What are your settings on the File Saving tab? Does changing the compression level make the error go away?
4. If you change format to jpg on the File Saving tab, does the error go away?


Regarding settings -- in the installed version the settings will be in your MyDocuments\DonationCoder\AutomaticScreenshotter directory, and will not be deleted when you uninstall.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Can't change the configuration files location - W10 OneDrive
« Last post by mouser on January 06, 2020, 10:47 PM »
It should work as you want by editing the ConfigDir.ini file, so don't give up on that.

Just make sure you remove the // at the start of the ConfigDir line.
and then make sure farr is fully exited -- remember that by default when you click close it just minimizes to the tray.

Also the new FARR beta should show you where it is trying to store it settings file if you open the FARR about box.

If you are still having trouble, it must be something else going wrong..

Screenshot Captor / Re: LATEST VERSION INFO THREAD - ScreenshotCaptor - v4.36.1 beta - Jan 2, 2020
« Last post by mouser on January 06, 2020, 12:57 PM »
Apologies if I missed any comments about icon quality -- the bigger sizes are poorer quality, especially noticable where there are diagonal lines. They seem to be resized up from the 16 x 16 versions.
yep, they are just the scaled up versions of the 16x16 icons -- not ideal but better than nothing.

If you're looking for features to add, you could extract the file description from the exe files and show them in the listview (and add them to the shortcut created in start menu).

So apache.exe would be apache.exe - Apache Web Server
etc.

« Last post by mouser on January 03, 2020, 11:47 PM »
melamoud and I have been testing things and we've identified the source of the problem -- an oddity somehow occuring with FARR getting confused about where the main form is on the screen while trying to auto size itself..
I'm not sure if this affected anyone else but it will be fixed in next release in next 24-48 hours.
