Screenshot Captor / Re: Grey stitching mark / line while postprocessing scrolling window capture

I'm glad to hear it worked, though it's a bit odd that that was required -- the guessing of margins and overlaps should have figured that out automatically..

After pressing button 1 and 2 to guess margins then overlaps, try manually increasing the vertical scroll overlap by 1 or 2, or the top or bottom margin.. see if that helps.

Yeah that makes me think that perhaps the file association is working -- but not set up perfectly correctly?

Still strange that that happened, but at least it's a clue for me to look into.
I'm not sure what's going on with the icon but maybe there is an issue with the default open app for .doc files, not actually changing from the perspective of LBC until you restart your pc?

How strange..

Can you try this: Go to the topmost "Options" tab and change the setting you have for "Use file launch helper" -- see if that makes a difference?

« Last post by mouser on September 05, 2018, 05:21 PM »
I want a very cheap and very compact solution to print return labels when I am returning goods bought online.
Is there anything like that?

Yes, Brother makes a few and Dymo makes a few.

They are all awesome and I recommend them highly for everyone.   They are thermal printers so they use special labels (not very expensive) and don't use ink, which makes them very reliable and cheap and fast and small.  They connect via usb to your pc and come with free app to help you type the labels.

Maybe pick up an older used model on ebay for cheap.

Just search for: dymo label printer
or: brother label printer

Seems like it would be pretty easy to do.. I could add it.. I wonder if it would be better to have it show the info in a pop up, or have a right-click context menu item to open a web page for the ip address at a site like http://ip-api.com?  Thoughts?

In screenshot captor, just select the first image.
Then click and drag the second image from the thumbnail panel on top of the first image.
Screenshot Captor will then ask you what you want to do.  Choose to combine images side by side. Done!

Developer's Corner / Story of the development of the famous Goldeneye 007 videogame
« Last post by mouser on August 26, 2018, 08:54 AM »
A nice long article on the history of a very inflential first-person shooter game for the nintendo 64, called "Goldeneye 007".

This is a game I played and finished, and it was the best first person shooter I had played up until that point.

The Nintendo 64’s GoldenEye 007 — or GoldenEye 64, as it’s often known — is seen as one of the system’s all-time classics. Aug. 25, 2018, will be the game’s 21st birthday (allowing Bond to finally taste one of his revered cocktails), so we reached out to the people who played, reviewed and created the game to see how it all came together, way back in 1997. From the multiplayer being added as an afterthought to the game almost having every Bond actor ever, the game you and your buddies logged hours on — paintballing in the Stack or shooting Boris in the balls — was almost something very, very different...

I'm considering, though I know this is part of my option-overload tendencies, to make it so there are actually TWO font scale override settings, one for landscape mode and one for portrait mode.
Implemented; will be in next releases.  It's a bit of overkill, but for those who want to customize fonts to make a view look good, it helps to be able to set these values differently.

Very nice!  I noticed that you took down another app too... is another thread coming for that one?  Or have you rolled up more functionality?

Another thing I am now improving is the View menu, to make it easier to see from the menu which quick-toggle options you currently have enabled (view hidden, view revise buttons, sort order).

All of my apps are built with the same basic framework for managing large numbers of custom "items".. I hope one day I will think of an actually novel app idea that can take advantage of the framework.  Or if someone has a business app idea that could be built on top of it, please do contact me.   :D

Sorry, I thought I already replied to this but it was while I was at a convention so my reply might not have gone through.
This is the right place to post it.

I will go check it out -- SC does not get much practice on animated gifs so it's probably a bug in the animated gif playback library, but I will check it.

Android Apps / ScoreTracker DC (Android app) - v1.40 - Mar 30, 2019
« Last post by mouser on August 16, 2018, 07:09 AM »
A little plug for my (100% free) Android app called ScoreTracker DC.

It's a simple app that lets you track scores or counts for different items -- for example if you wanted to keep track of the scores for each player in a board game.

It's built on the same codebase I have used for my other Android apps, which means it has multi-device synchronization options, tabs for grouping items, etc.
Each item has a quick +1 and -1 buttons but you can also click any score to get a nice calculator dialog to make bigger changes.

I've recently added a custom font scaling option which makes it particularly useful for displaying names and scores in very big clear lettering.

You can download it from the Google Play store here: https://play.google....tracker&hl=en_US

Or see the DC page on it here: https://www.donation...-for-android-devices

Or view the original DC thread announcement and discussion: https://www.donation...ndex.php?topic=42999

v1.32 - Aug 20, 2018
