Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing  :up:

Here are two recent AI articles cited on that page for people who want to learn more:

Makes sense.. As a workaround, you could use a program like my Automatic Screenshotter to automatically take screenshots of your desktop as the screen changes when it is running, so you would have those as a last resort.
Clearly not as good as the feature you are requesting, just a stopgap general purpose workaround.
2155
Anyone?
2156
When I use a hotkey to trigger a capture, then press a numeral to select a pre-defined area, then give the left mouse button a single click to capture, the focus stays on whatever application had the focus in the first place. This is true whether using MindManager, Chrome, Irfanview, or even the desktop with all apps minimized.

Ok, that sounds like a bug then, because when the post-capture dialog pops up, it should assume focus.  I will look into it.
2157
When the post-capture dialog appears, the focus remains on whatever window was active before the capture was triggered.

Hmm, that shouldn't happen.  Is it true for every app or are there some that are stealing focus.

2. I move my workspace from one folder to another in the course of a day. When I'm first saving a capture into a new folder, I'll need to do a "Save image as" to set the active file path.

That won't work -- when you do a Save As it does not change the default screenshot folder.  And when you use the Overide filename field in the post-capture dialog and hit enter, it always goes into the current default screenshot folder.  You'll have to open the main interface if you want to change the current default folder.


2158
I need to give the file a unique name that depends on the original image. There's no way to automate the naming.
Ok for this you probably need to use the post-capture dialog.  Though note that there are some tweak options you can set to make that easier -- like making the dialog start with focus in the "Override filename" field -- I'm not sure if you are using that feature or using the "Save image as.." function.  The former is quicker.  You should be able to just type the name into that field and hit enter and be done (having it copy the image to the clipboard automatically after that).

You can also use the Thumbnail button to quickly make a thumbnail of your target size.  First use the thumbnail dialog via main menu File -> Create thumbnail and set the option you want.  After that you can just hit the Thumbnail button on the main toolbar.

If you need to make a thumbnail automatically after EVERY capture, you could use an external commandline tool for that and configure it to run after every capture, on the "Post-Capture Options" tab.

Thanks for posting Joseph (and thanks for you donation!).

I'm glad you are finding the new preset-size hotkeys useful.  :up:

One question: Is there a way to automatically send the capture to clipboard while retaining the ability to save it to file? I thought I saw an option like that but can't find it now. For now, clicking the button on the Pop-Up Choice Dialog does it, but maybe there's a way to have it be automatic?

The most efficient way to use SC for many of us is to turn off the pop-up post-capture dialog, and instead tell SC to stay minimized after capturing.  Then enable the option to always copy each new capture to the clipboard.  All captures are saved to file by default.  That's how I use SC.

Let me take a look at the startup code and see if I can see anything.

Although repeat donations are always appreciated, we have never (ever) required anyone who has donated to our site to donate a second time to get a license key.  Any donation of any amount has always granted a lifetime license key for all of our software.
We are a tiny operation, so if ever in doubt -- if you ever have any difficulty with a license key, you can ask for help here on the forum, or email me ([email protected]), or submit a question through the website and we will help you get it sorted out or send you a new license key.  :up:

Thanks for your detailed description of your workflow, 4wd -- that's very helpful!  :Thmbsup:
2164
I will soon be adding a manual pruning/deletion function that you can trigger that will help you remove old/unwanted captures.
2165
A reminder for any users of Automatic Screenshotter:

Note: The automatic pruning (deletion) of old screenshots is now disabled by default), and there is a new easy option for enabling/disabling this function.

So if you used the automatic deletion/pruning options in the past, you will have to enable this in the new version, as it defaults to being disabled now, and in the prior version it was enabled by default.

Fixed.

I'd thought "I'd like to copy/move the file as safe as possible, so using Operating System native tools has my preference." = means use Api calls

That's what I meant -- to use the Windows API functions for CopyFile or CopyFileEx or the delphi file copy functions.

Welcome, Foghorn.

change their priority when you get focus and then go back to lower priority when you lose focus

This is the function of the "Boost Foreground Process to High Priority" option:

"Boost Foreground Process to High Priority - this is a somewhat controversial option which will automatically (temporarily) set the priority of the application you are currently using to high priority.  This should not normally be needed, as Microsoft Windows should give the current application plenty of CPU cycles, but it can be useful in odd cases where you want to devote more resources to whatever program you are currently using.  The process priority will be restored to normal when you switch to another application.  Note: The foreground process (currently active program) can still be tamed when this setting is enabled alone."

Also amusing was Gmail trying to be helpful with one-click auto-responses: "I accept the terms," "No worries, thanks for the update," and "I'm not interested."

General Software Discussion / Geotagging your photos? gps4cam and other tools?
« Last post by mouser on June 24, 2018, 10:39 PM »
Does anyone have any experience with automatic geotagging of photos that they take?

Modern phones can probably do this quite easily, but mid-range dslr cameras seem to lack this feature -- you have to spend nearly a thousand dollars to get a good camera with built-in gps to geotag photos.

I have a friend who is interested in taking lots of photos and having them geo-tagged with gps location information.

One possible solution looks like combining a phone app with some post processing of photos, using a mobile app like gps4cam: http://gps4cam.com/

Anyone have any experience using software like this to add gps geotagging info to photos?

I'd like to copy/move the file as safe as possible, so using Operating System native tools has my preference.
Agreed.

Automatic Screenshotter / Re: Automatic Screenshotter - auto delete options?
« Last post by mouser on June 24, 2018, 04:38 AM »
The new beta version 1.09.01 should improve these issues.
See here: https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=45791.0
2175
I have uploaded a new beta (v1.09.01).  Although it is a minor update in most ways, the update of the internal media browser tool is non-trivial.

I would appreciate feedback on its functionality.

Note: The automatic pruning (deletion) of old screenshots is now disabled by default), and there is a new easy option for enabling/disabling this function.
