Screenshot Captor / Re: Screenshot Captor v3 beta

« Last post by mouser on February 02, 2012, 03:55 PM »

I think perhaps a more generic solution would be an option which allows user to set CUSTOM keypresses to simulate for vertical and horizontal scrolling.. that could be useful in handling odd cases.  thoughts?

Thanks for the suggestions.

Some quick comments:

1) "Rows" being better than "Pages" (as said above) makes me wonder should default scrolling be "by rows" ? (I know I'm basing this question on one capture, but just thought I'd ask anyways).

Rows won't always work.  For example it won't work in windows that require keypress simulated paging.  But when they do, they can be much easier for SC to align, since scrolling by pages can leave little or no overlap to discover.  That's why the "Test Window" procedure is basically trying to figure out if it can scroll by rows and how many rows at a time to scroll.  The problem with setting to ByRows manually is that it can eat up a lot of memory unless you set a high enough "rows per scroll multiplier" (which is what Test Window tries to determine).

~ if horizontal scrolling is activated when there is no horizontal scrolling in the window, it doesnt work
~ if horizontal scrolling is *not* activated where there *is* horizontal scrolling in the window, it doesnt work.

not sure what you mean by "doesn't work".  it should do fine capturing pure vertical content even if there is horizontal content and you disable it.  if you try to capture horizontal content and there is none, it shouldn't cause any problems just some wasted time trying to horizontally scroll when there is no content.  can you elaborate what didnt work?

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.

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..

« 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?

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?

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).

« 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..
