Living Room / Re: Main hard drive in my PC died today suddenly

« Last post by mouser on February 02, 2012, 12:30 PM »

I'm afraid i don't use any realtime drive monitoring tools.. i should.

I do have multiple drives in my pc and have a realtime backup of my documents drive to another, so i'm fairly confident there against a crash.

My backup procedures worked well this time, but there is definitely room for improvement.

That worked perfectly with Lotus Notes once I continued with the steps you mentioned.
After playing with the various options I got it to work just fine for MS Word.

awesome!

You must have spent an awful long time on this functionality!

the new scrolling capture code was a LOT of work.. I'm happy to hear it's starting to be useful for a few people.

For MS Word -- it will only work if you set ms word to show a full page, and then tell sc to capture pages use simulated keypress method.

Living Room / Main hard drive in my PC died today suddenly

« Last post by mouser on February 02, 2012, 03:37 AM »

This post is just a warning to all of you who are living dangerously and not performing regular backups.

This afternoon the main hard drive in my computer suddenly and unrecoverably crashed.

Luckily I had a fairly recent system backup, a spare hard drive, and a spare pc to do the image restore with.

Let this be a warning to you -- backup regularly and have a plan for recovering from a hard drive crash -- your next one could be right around the corner..

You say:
"I tried it on Lotus Notes window which needed horizontal and vertical scrolling and it overlapped quite a bit, "

but it's supposed to overlap, and then you are supposed to click to guess margins and guess overlap.. and that is supposed to stitch it together and remove overlaps.  did you try that?

Screenshot Captor / Re: Is 'scrolling capture' suitable for grabbing zoomable contents?

« Last post by mouser on February 02, 2012, 03:07 AM »

well the new sc3 has a manual scrolling capture mode, though it is awkward (i will be improving it).

BUT.. the site the poster is talking about has no clean way to manually scroll by a known amount, at least as far as i can tell -- seems more like a general mouse based web panning -- so no clean way to know how far you've scrolled.

LaunchBar Commander / Re: And one more feature request: set window size and position

« Last post by mouser on February 01, 2012, 04:12 PM »

It makes sense -- what i wonder though is if there is a standalone comandline tool that could be used for this -- so that you can invoke that and tell it to invoke another app..

Hey, i have no objection to anyone hacking the resources in the program to change the icons -- go for it and good luck -- i just don't have any insight into how to find the icon resources.

it sounds like you have the right settings there -- maybe you havent set the file extension restrictions for all of the search folders?

If it comes back, see if you can figure out if it is certain image types that might be causing the trouble.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Cannot paste

« Last post by mouser on February 01, 2012, 01:28 PM »

Is it capturing text ok?  Let's simplify test reports by just dealing with a simple program like Windows Notepad.  Does it capture text ok? Is it just pasting that isn't working?
Did you try running as administrator? Do you have any security software that might be blocking the clipboard?

Did you try running URL snooper as an administrator?

There is no reason URL snooper can't run on a windows 7 pc -- it runs for some people.

It's not going to be suitable for something like google art project which has a proprietary interface for scrolling that has no way of scrolling by pages or lines.

Hi smm -- i'm sorry i missed your post originally!

It sounds like CHS is really being a pain -- maybe multiple copies got launched somehow?  Did you manage to solve this yet, or did you still need assistance?

ALSO; only 1 instance seems to be saved after a computer restart

are you running two versions of desktop coral from two different directories -- or from the same directory?

« Last post by mouser on February 01, 2012, 12:16 PM »

I'm sorry I missed this post originally.. I'm afraid that CHS doesn't currently handle Unicode -- so if your text can't be represented in your systems current character set, it won't be handled by CHS properly.. at least not yet.  I am planning on fixing this in future version.

Screenshot Captor / Re: how to add a image to email body ( not as attachment)

« Last post by mouser on February 01, 2012, 12:02 PM »

that's an interesting question; it can't be done now EXCEPT if you find a commandline emailer than can do it (since SC can be configured to invoke a commandline emailer); but i might have a look for how it can be done with html mail format (though to be honest i'm not a fan of html mail).

thanks dluby, i'll bet i removed a slight delay that i shouldn't have, to give the screen time to refresh when minimizing sc.  i'll fix.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Timed screen capture

« Last post by mouser on February 01, 2012, 12:28 AM »

you can set the interval, and the maximum screenshots to take, and then engage th auto capture timer.

the only thing you mention that you can't do it tell it not to begin until a certain time of day..

Screenshot Captor / Re: Copy Image to Clipboard Not Working

« Last post by mouser on January 31, 2012, 12:30 PM »

It's been pointed out that there are checkboxes to copy the image PATH to the clipboard as well as to copy the image to the clipboard, and SC cannot (currently) do both at the same time.  Perhaps you have the copy-path-to-clipboard action checked?

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Citrix issue

« Last post by mouser on January 31, 2012, 04:15 AM »

I'm really interested to hear the answer to this -- I know I have users of some of my other programs (Screenshot Captor) that use Citrix; but since i have no experience with Citrix myself, I don't know if there are special issues with the clipboard.  Perhaps its some setting in citrix management options..

Any other citrix users can shed some light on this?

New beta uploaded with smarter TEST WINDOW functionality.. it will now try to be smarter about setting scrolling options after testing a window.

Most specifically, it will try to find good settings to do a LINE-based scroll (instead of a page-based scroll), which has a higher chance of better overlaps, making it easier to align images (page based scrolling sometimes results in 0 overlap in some apps).

It's still not PERFECT but it does seem better.

Screencast tutorial coming soon.
