Screenshot Captor / Re: New user - trying to streamline the workflow

« Last post by mouser on February 28, 2009, 07:46 PM »

what version of screenshot captor are you using?  it seems to me that the latest beta may have an issue with these shift+prtscr captures.

ps.:
it's often most useful to disable that post-capture popup dialog if you know what you want to do.
you can have sc auto copy the capture to the clipboard and stay minimized -- that would streamline your workflow.
or of course you could go even faster if you just let sc keep capturing and saving each image and staying mininimized, and doing that in bulk before opening up sc and dragging and dropping batches of images to corel.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: CLIPBOARD HELP+SPELL LATEST VERSION INFO THREAD - v2.23.01 - Nov 22, 2013

« Last post by mouser on February 28, 2009, 03:42 PM »

I've posted a new beta (1.23.01) with some improvements.

I expect to post another update in a day or two so you might as well wait unless you see something compelling in the version history or you want to help test.

The next update should have some advanced hotkey features, and i'll try to get the quick add note working, as well as another cool idea i had.

This was added recently, it brings up the main window and sets the focus to the search box, so it's good for quickly searching for clips.

well you can choose to tile your monitors differently to try to get the cell tiles to more closely match the aspect ratio of your images.

I'll set up a new forum section for it and we can find a volunteer or two to spearhead it.

Multi Photo Quotes / Re: Scaling pictures instead of stretching

« Last post by mouser on February 27, 2009, 02:33 AM »

The best way to understand this new option is that if Crop Goal is "Fit small dimension", then you will tend to have images that fill the entire cell area, and aspect ratio is preserved, but where one dimension is cropped.  If Crop Goal is "Fit entire image" then the images will have some blank border around them in the cell so that entire image can be fit in cell area while preserving aspect ratio.

Try new beta download: https://www.donation...PhotoQuotesSetup.exe

New options you should use:


Important: I know it's not the clearest thing, but what you want is to choose the combo of:

• Crop and preserve aspect mode
• Shrink maximally
• Fit entire image

The "Crop and preserve aspect mode" is what keeps the aspect ratio.
The shrink maximally option tells it to shrink as it needs (you could adjust this to set limits)
The new "Crop Goal" value of "Fit entire image" is the key new option, which says that the goal of the shrinking is to fit the LARGER dimension, which will end up with blank borders on the short dimension if set.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: RecordIndex out of range error

« Last post by mouser on February 26, 2009, 10:59 PM »

image fixed (and can you make sure you are using the latest version of the program?)

the Access Denied error you site has been reported to be an antivirus related issue.. I wonder if you could try excluding the files in the ClipboardHelpAndSpell\Database directory from scanning by your antivirus program..

it's possible that all the clues are adding up to a problem with waking from sleep and an antivirus tool.  what antivirus program do you use?

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: RecordIndex out of range error

« Last post by mouser on February 26, 2009, 10:35 PM »

assuming you can still go into the options, try "repairing" the database:


if that doesn't help, and it may not, can you tell me more about when the error occurs? on startup?

you might try:

• exit program
• back up entire CHS directory so you have a copy of it
• delete ClipboardHelpAndSpell\PresetViews\Last.preset.dock and Last.preset.grid and Last.preset
• restart and see if error still there

if error still there, and you are willing to lose your current set of clips:

• exit program
• delete all files inside Database\
• restart

id really like to understand why this error might be occurring so please let me know what works.
