Screenshot Captor / Re: Type A Note On Screen Before Taking Screenshot

« Last post by mouser on May 15, 2019, 10:48 PM »

The easiest thing would be to add a caption AFTER the capture, from the main SC window.
You can click the toolbar button for Text Object (near bottom) to add a text box.

But if you are always wanting to add a caption, you can have SC help you by first making sure you have the post-capture dialog set to show after each screenshot:


Then enable this option:


Then the caption you type into the post-capture dialog box will be added as a caption to the image.

However, the easiest thing would be

LaunchBar Commander / Re: LBC Screencast Videos Aren't Working

« Last post by mouser on May 11, 2019, 10:46 PM »

I *could* add something like this, but I remember in years past we have discussed how useful it would be in general to have a browser "proxy" utility, that acted like a browser but when you trigger it, it can apply some pattern rules that the user can edit to tell it what browser to use to launch the url, OR for other patterns (or by default) pop up a list to choose from.

Such a program must already exist because it's would be useful to a bunch of people.  Does anyone know of a free tool to do this?  If not, let's code it.

I'll see if I can't fix the video section.. It got a little scrambled when we upgraded the website.
Can you elaborate on what you are wanting with the web browser thing?  Here's the main setting to set a custom url (and of course for any url in a specific node/button you could manually specify the full path to a browser):

DC Website Help and Extras / Re: Why do people keep requesting DonationCoder license keys for Pokemon Go??

« Last post by mouser on May 10, 2019, 07:43 AM »

Here's what someone messaged me:

"I downloaded ispoofer for Pokémon Go from tweak-box. Upon entering the game you have 2 black menu bars (part of the hack) the left one when clicked asks for you to Subscribe Now and Activate. When clicking Activate it brings you to a in game page saying to enter your License key. In blue underneath the text box (where you would put you key) it says “Get a license key”. When you click it brings you to a page and that’s where I clicked a link that said to contact you guys for a free permanent license key. "

So I don't know if that app is sending people directly to our page, or merely sending them on a google search, which is generic enough that it happens to show our page as top link.

Automatic Screenshotter / Re: Capturing Black Window

« Last post by mouser on May 08, 2019, 10:36 PM »

I've uploaded a new beta (see beta link on main thread); I don' think it will address the black window issue per se, but it DOES show a preview of the last captured window which may aid in diagnosing.

v1.12.1 - May 8, 2019

• [BugFix] Capturing active window on older versions of windows could result in unusual screen corruption.
• [Feature] New preview of last capture shown on main window (see options on Misc tab).

I'd appreciate some feedback and feature requests.
If you were using Windows 7, this version should fix some screen corruption issues you may have suffered if you were asking Win7 (or earlier) to monitor the active window.

One of my new favorite dishes is Bibimpap.

It's a korean dish with rice and vegetables, prepared in a bowl with a fried egg on top.
So delicious.

We make it with lots of bean sprouts, tofu, pickled vegetables, rice, and kimchi, so elements of sweet and sour.

Automatic Screenshotter / Re: Capturing Black Window

« Last post by mouser on May 08, 2019, 09:13 PM »

Hmm checking the code it looks like I already have a 1 second delay before trying to capture a newly active window... So I guess that's unlikely to be the issue..

bsterner says he got it fixed, though I'm not sure what he changed to fix it..

However, if this problem is affecting other people, it may call for a workaround.

Jay, are you seeing the same behavior, where you are getting alternating captures of the same window, one black and one correct?  Could you attach a sample screenshot of the black window?

If the problem is AS capturing windows while they are refreshing, and there isn't a good official proper way to avoid that, I could code a workaround that basically checked if the client area (not including the tilebar and border) of a window was all black, and skip capturing if so..  But I'd like to hear more about the problem before I do.


Perhaps what bsterner was saying was that disabling the option to capture when the active window changes solved his problem:


And so perhaps the problem is that AS is trying to capture right away in this scenario, and the app is in the process of redrawing.. In which case an easier fix would simply be to make it so for this option there is a slight delay on capturing the newly focused active window.  This seems the easiest and most promising path.

But again, what I need to hear from people is if this matches their experience -- is this black window thing happening only when the user is switching back to this window making it newly active/foreground/etc?  Or is the problem randomly happening even if the window is always staying the active foreground window?

Screenshot Captor / Re: Bug: Screenshot Captor switches into different resolution during screenshot

Screenshot Captor / Re: Bug: Screenshot Captor switches into different resolution during screenshot

« Last post by mouser on May 06, 2019, 10:26 PM »

So you know how I'm running it, I didn't uninstall my production version (that is not installed as Portable). I just made sure it was terminated and then I launched the Portable Beta. I assume that's OK.

yep, that's fine.

ok let me look into both areas of code again..

when you alt+tab and wake it up, what dialog window is it on at that point? is it the post-capture dialog where you are shown a preview of the capture?  And are you saying that before you alt-tab, you can see that dialog, but can't activate it?

Automatic Screenshotter / Re: Capturing Black Window

« Last post by mouser on May 06, 2019, 09:30 PM »

Ok, so it sounds like what you are saying is AS is alternately capturing the window black and then normal, over and over again?
And so it's not that you are getting hundreds of mostly black windows in a row, but rather an alternating sequence of black and then normal.. And the theory about AS catching it in mid-redraw sounds feasible..

Does that sound right?

Automatic Screenshotter / Re: Capturing Black Window

« Last post by mouser on May 06, 2019, 07:59 PM »

So I still have a few questions in my attempt to understand what is happening:

Is the window supposed to be black? You say there are 100+ black window screenshots -- are they identical?  Or is there something in the window that is changing that is making AS think the contents have changed?

What is that window that AS is having a hard time capturing? Is it video? (video players can use advanced overlays that screen capture apps can't see)? Or is some security program blocking screenshots of it for some reason?

I guess I'm trying to understand if the problem is that AS is capturing black windows when it should be capturing the content, or if AS is saving multiple copies of a blank window which is not changing, which it shouldn't be doing, or some combination..

If you don't care about that application you can tell AS to ignore it.. But that seems like a workaround.. I'd like to understand where AS is messing up.

I'm assuming in the capture rules you have AS set to Ignore changes of less than X pixels with X set to some non-zero value.
You might try disabling the option on Capture Options tab to "Also capture whenever the active window changes".
