Screenshot Captor / Re: Capturing Scrolling Pages
« Last post by Ath on August 14, 2015, 03:42 AM »
It sounds like you've found a bug with the red-lines being used to outline the area for capture -- I'll try to fix.

Question -- did those red outlines only happen when the window you were capturing was full screen?
-mouser (August 13, 2015, 11:09 PM)
I think he said it was a feature of the Sandbox software, not caused by ScreenShotCapture:
2. The red lines are not related to SC!  As I was doing this I finally realized what they are.  I run Firefox in a sandbox.  The sandbox puts lines around the Firefox window.  But the way I have it set up they are barely visible and I am so used to them I forgot they are even there.

Only the last page will be smaller then the others, when starting the capture from the top of the page, that's why there are separate settings for the last page, an also for the first page to cut off an unwanted header

As I understand the request, he wants a note to be associated to a url and for it to show automatically when that url is opened
-tomos (August 11, 2015, 05:28 AM)
Aha, I misunderstood the request :( and no, that's not a feature of CintaNotes.

I'm using CintaNotes (pro) (shareware) for that, but there are several other tools and browser plugins for that. Discussed here often before.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Capturing borders on dialog boxes on Windows 7
« Last post by Ath on August 10, 2015, 02:49 AM »
This looks like an owner-drawn or custom message-box, created from a Borland based dev. environment, probably a quite old one. I can see no shadow-border around the window.
The only way I see how to come near to your desired outcome is to start with a Region capture, select the usual/desired visible part, and blur outside of the selection. That's not ideal, I get that, but imho a workable solution.

Windows 10 seems to have a transparant border around all windows, recognizable when hovering the mouse across a border: the size-cursor shows when the mouse is already outside the window! I assume/suspect that this translates into a black border when inside a grid.
Have you tried to add the negative offset/overlap in grid coordinates, as suggested earlier?

Well, I didn't have a failed migration, but I had an 'interesting' one. I detailed everything in a dedicated thread. I tried to be as detailed as possible with the problems I encountered & listed solutions just in case someone else runs into the problems I did.
-Innuendo (August 08, 2015, 08:54 AM)
Well, I saw your post but I interpreted it like the title, a clean install and your adventures with that. On closer investigation it in fact a 'minor fail' upgrade. Interesting, like you said.

Upgrading Windows 7 x64 SP1 to Windows 10 on a system equipped with Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) failed with data-loss!

I've tried to upgrade my Lenovo Y580 with a 1 TB HDD and a 64 GB SSD (the SSD is hidden by the RST technology as a high-speed MRU-buffer for the HDD).
All seemed to go fine, until the upgrade process executed a reboot, and it couldn't find the boot-partition it had just upgraded.

All attempts to repair the partitions, reverting the installation or even using a Windows 7 SP1 boot-USB for recovery, didn't result in the partitions to be restored (at all) and rendered the laptop 'useless'.

Solution I applied was: Buy a Samsung 500 GB SSD (850 EVO), remove the 64 GB SSD (in an M.2 slot next to the SATA-connected HDD/SSD), re-installed Windows 7 x64 SP1 with all Lenovo drivers (they are on a separate, unharmed, partition of the HDD), and then upgrade to Windows 10.
Now I'm re-installing most generic applications I had previously installed, like browser, pdf-viewer etc.

Yes I'm working on recovering files from the damaged partition, but there where no really important files on it, all important stuff was backed up in the cloud, on USB sticks or on other PC's. It's a pity I don't have my browser history anymore, but that'll rebuild in the coming weeks/months ;)

So, long story short: When upgrading a similar RST equipped PC, make images of your entire harddrive before attempting the in-place upgrade!

Hi,

Besides all the praise and glory on Windows 10 migration(s) it might be right helpful to also list any failed or miserable migrations from a previous version.

Try the new beta site curt (msg me for access if you don't have the info), and see if you can see the videos (youtube and vimeo) on the youtube test thread.  That uses the new html5 frame embed method.
-mouser (August 06, 2015, 12:08 AM)
Well, you'll only be able to really test it on a https accessed host, and the DC test site doesn't have https, afaics.
You might want to embed similar html5 code in a post here at DC, to see if it works? Or add a temporary certificate on the test site (browsers should be able to ignore the wrong hostname in the cert)?

(Sorry to keep pounding on the https/http thingy :-[, but it does make the difference)

Well, I've considered starting something using Arduino (years ago), but the 'you have to do everything yourself, including an OS' and the rather steep prices have kept me away.
Now there's the RPi family, that brings a complete PC with a complete OS and easy to add hardware interfaces for an affordable price, and I'm hooked :D

I'd just head over to Adafruit.com (no affiliation) and get me a kit of a Raspberry Pi 2, LCD display piggyback board and a prototyping/button set:


Most of it is to be programmed in Python, I think you can handle that ;D

Aha, I just checked using Chrome, and that browser (I hardly use it :tellme:) does reserve the embedded-frame-space, but still doesn't show anything of the YT video, as it does when accessing DC using http.

Doesn't accessing DC using https disable YT displaying, because it's connecting with http ? (AFAIR)
-Ath (August 05, 2015, 11:43 AM)

It just occurred to me...how could it be a HTTPS issue?  the DC2 Beta link doesn't have HTTPS on it o.O  
-Stephen66515 (August 05, 2015, 11:51 AM)
What I tried to say is that when I'm connecting to DC on https, the YT links in http do not even show... in my browser (Pale moon x64, Firefox x86), not even the embedding border or reserve space for it :huh:

@Curt, is your taskbar on the right (yeah :P) side of your screen, instead of at the bottom? That could explain something. Your other taskbaricons then are hidden behind the > icon. ;)

Most people don't call their own phone number, or click on their own links.
So I don't know if you are aware of this, but when I clicked in your signature on the link to your software collection, I got the following mssg: "Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111".
