I've uploaded an alpha version which will hopefully be better at pinpointing the error:

https://www.donation...reenshotterSetup.exe
Or portable version:

Also, do you have any farr plugins loaded that might be responsible? Click the button on the "External Tools and Plugins" options tab?

Or maybe you are testing the FARR portable version so it is clean out of the box...

Can you tell me again exactly what happens and when?

Ok I see some code in FARR that tries to make sure the window fits on screen.. it must be malfunctioning for you (im not sure why only for you).
Let me make this under control of a user option --- that will at least let us disable it for now.

It seems to only run at program start, so that can't be your problem..

« Last post by mouser on January 03, 2020, 01:23 PM »

that is verrrry odd indeed, especially given that it's the first i've heard of this issue.

what operating system? both machines are laptops with multiple monitors yeah?

I know I asked you this before, but can you try to look at the running-process list (ctrl+alt+del), and see if you spot any utility that could be moving windows around on screen? There are some graphics boards or laptops that come with little window-manager tools that might..

Make sure you download the latest version -- I've since fixed another bug relating to the new handling of double-quoted arguments.

You know that I have remembered a very recent error, that i think i fixed with my most recent update, that someone reported was causing the same "Error on creating PNG".
It was described here: https://www.donation...x.php?topic=45791.25

Essentially it was related to compression level being set to 1.

Can you check that you have downloaded the very latest version, and check that your compression level is not set to 1 or 10 in the File Saving tab.

I've uploaded a test version here:

• https://www.donation...reenshotterSetup.exe
• https://www.donation...nshotterPortable.zip

If you could give that a try.  It won't fix the error per se, but it might stop showing an error box and instead just beep and log an error line to its troubleshooting log.  That would at least be a starting point for me to figure out what's wrong..

If you kill the program from task manager and start it up again.. do the errors start happening immediately?
If you right-click on tray and tell it to take a screenshot now, does the error happen?
I'm trying to get a feel for whether the error is happening on EVERY screenshot, or only at a certain point..

Ok let me try to track this down..  I may have to get you a debug compiled version of the program to figure out where it's freaking out..

New version uploaded which hopefully fixes the problem; my recent code changes to better handle quoted arguements was stripping quotes when using the explore here option with a custom exe.

Can you see if rebooting solves the problem?

I have experienced a bug when trying to use the "Explore Here" right-click menu of a result.. working on it..

N.A.N.Y. 2020 / Re: NANY 2020: ISMONISM - search Start Menu (or any folder) for 'missing' entries

« Last post by mouser on January 03, 2020, 09:44 AM »

Bugreport:
If launched from it's portable directory manually, it finds the settings file properly.
But if I (or in this case ISMONISM) creates a shortcut in the start menu, then when launched from the start menu I think it must be looking elsewhere for its settings file, and it starts with default settings.

So you're using the latest version that was just put out a couple of days ago?
What does the error say?

Find And Run Robot / Re: latest version die (window dissapear) when I starting to type excel

« Last post by mouser on January 02, 2020, 11:03 PM »

You could always try downloading the PORTABLE version and just run that from a new directory to see if the problem happens even with a clean install.

I cannot reproduce the problem -- FARR window does not jump around at all.
Anyone else?

New version is working like a charm  Love it 

It's fun to let it find itself in portable apps directory and make a shortcut to itself.. There is a special pleasure that comes with such things..

yep, i have multiple monitors, never heard of this problem..
do you have any other program running in your system tray that might be trying to smartly keep windows from moving?

How strange.

Some possibilities:

1. Try the new beta, see if it makes a difference.
2. It could be another program moving it.. a window manager tool or a tool designed to move windows that are offscreen.
3. Go to the "Display Options" tab and uncheck "when appearing, center on current monitor" and see if maybe it makes a difference..
