It's either the use of -capturescreeen instead of -capturescreen or a bug with the $dt.
I'm away from my pc at the moment so hard for me to test.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Feature request: Web clipping, permanent note keeping

« Last post by mouser on August 28, 2011, 04:25 PM »

This is a good example of the kind of thing that I think has been referred to above. I'm not sure whether this would be easy to build in to CHS, but it's probably the sort of potentially very significant timesaver that I and other users would appreciate having - e.g., to paste clips directly into (say) a specified PIM, or into a specified documentation or note-taking tool. It looks like it could be a much better version of Info Select's proprietary and failed "lightning-bolt" clipping tool that I have referred to previously in this discussion thread.
It would be really handy - using CHS as the medium for directly or indirectly gathering lots of separate clipped notes into a single document - ie., you could do it directly from CHS whilst staying on the CHS grid view to do it, or indirectly via CHS from the source page/document. In either case you would be avoiding some of the tiresome/tedious clip/paste to-ing and fro-ing that you might otherwise be obliged to engage in to achieve the same thing without this feature.

I think CHS can do what you are asking already.  You have two ways:

First you can set what happens when you double click on a grid item, and tell CHS to send the clip to the last active window when you double click.  That makes it possible to really quickly send a bunch of clips to an application.  So just start your target app, bring up the main CHS window, and start double clicking.


Second, you can use the "send to last active window" button in the memo panel (or choose from the Edit menu):


I should probably add a hotkey too huh?

You can also select a bunch of clips and "merge" them from CHS, with user defined separator, and then paste as one operation.

I believe all the file-naming possibility remains the same? MiniCap hasn't been updated for some time.

Yep, the filenaming capabilities are the same.  Let me see if i can't do a quick update to MiniCap right now, just so the new failure-to-save error reporting is in place.

Would it be worth the effort for you to allow for user-selected wav file option when capture takes place?

That's a good idea, i will add it.

You could also use any other scheduling tool in conjunction with Screenshot Captor's little brother, the commandline MiniCap tool.

Hi everyone.

Just a heads up that I will be mostly away from the internet this week (Aug 29 - Sep 2, 2011), so please excuse any slow replies to posts or emails.  I'm going to visit my family and prove to them that I really do still exist in real life and am not just a virtual simulation.

Hi Nicholas,

You could use Screenshot Captor for this..
On the Pre-Capture options tab you would set the Auto Capture timer rate to: 7200, and the Stop After to 0 (i think! to make it go forever).

And then make sure you have SC configured to stay minimized after capture (Interface Options 1 tab).

Can you try the new beta (same url: https://www.donation...nshotCaptorSetup.exe) and tell me if this performs a little better with regard to arrow text editing speed.

Note: this version also changes the connection points for labeled arrows, as well as memo box transparency method.

General Software Discussion / Re: How can I download or record streaming audio

« Last post by mouser on August 27, 2011, 03:42 PM »

So here is what I did:

I started URL Snooper, set it to show all urls, and then opened the webpage you specified and started the music playing.

URL Snooper shows me that this is a shoutcast stream and gives me the direct url for it: http://stream.telvi.de:8000/antenne_kl


You could probably plug this shoutcast url into any specialized shoutcast recording program (i think there are some) or winamp addon to record shoutcast to record the file.

That is probably easier than what i did, but here is what I did:

I don't have any of those, so I used the trusty Net Transport tool, which is good at this kind of thing and can do scheduled recording, and fed it the shoutcast url.

It records the stream fine, but the recorded file has no file extension so you won't know how to play it:


But from the details in Net Transport, you can see that it is AAC format audio, so i renamed the file to a .aac extension and then i could play it in my media players (i tried the free kmplayer) and it worked fine:

General Software Discussion / Re: Cnet's Download.com and the installer scam

« Last post by mouser on August 26, 2011, 07:31 PM »

Just a quick update --
I emailed the address that Seth suggested earlier today ([email protected]) and asked nicely if they would remove the installer wrapper from my programs,

and just got an email reply saying the installer has been removed from my applications.

And it seems to be true.

So credit where credit is due, bravo to Seth and Cnet for being responsive about this

(and credit to everyone here and elsewhere on the web who has been running around screaming about this -- these things get fixed only when people make a ruckus).

Anyway, color me very pleasantly surprised.

Now let's just hope that they they put a process in place to let authors set this option from their cnet upload.com account and clearly explain the procedure for removing your applications from the installer wrapper, and contact authors to let them know about this.
