when we say "it is for single use" it means you can't redistribute it and share your modification with other name on your site.
I'd also change the text on the site and in the license. We're most likely not the only ones being confused by that. ;)

Wow, thanks for these nice screencasts. Especially the Word-one is very helpful :up:, though I've not yet scroll-captured any Word stuff yet, I'm quite sure I'll have to, sooner or later.

It runs very hot both the CPU and the HD.  And, it seems, the temperature confuses HDS Pro.  I am expecting the box to die because of the heat signature, but prolly not that soon  :P.
You might wanna clean the cooling on that laptop, just to keep it alive a bit longer. Should also end the false-reporting issues with HDS.

Hm, what would be the risk with SSC running as administrator? Shouldn't be dangerous, IMHO.

but i really worry about running it under wrong user level
Not many users start their installers using 'Run As Administrator' these days, and those who do, probably know what they are doing anyway.
Inno Setup triggers the UAC permission dialog at the expected/right moment, unless ofcourse UAC is turned off :o
I guess 95% of current Inno Setup scripts that has an executable that can be run right after installation, offers the option to do that.

(I'll again admit I'm an Inno Setup addict/fan/advocate/12+ year user, but have no other bindings to it than that, and I like installers to be done 'just right')

Do you intend to update the installer to offer the option of running ScreenShot Captor, after installing/updating, on Windows Vista and Windows 7? (Like we talked about in irc) Would be Really Nice To Have (r)

I've been running (that's different from using...) ManicTime Tracker, just to record what applications I've been using. I still have to get to the part where I analyze my day/week... :o

And today in some list I saw this Kapow Punch Clock mentioned. (Not really looked at yet, but it's GPL open source, so you can improve it yourself if you like)

Combining that data could get you on track, perhaps?

3) Not important I guess: I have no idea what "Capture until max below" means...
My wild guess:
"Keep capturing until the set number of captures have been taken, without bothering to check if the end of the scrollable area has been reached"
 ;)


And now for a, relatively small, feature request:

I'm a user of skwire's sWeather to view how it's outside, as I'm unable to view through a window sitting in my attic workspot :o

I thought I'd make a nice screenshot of the current weather in the 4 locations I've set. sWeather can change the current page by using PgDn/PgUp keys, but has the strange habit of scrolling in the opposite direction, so PgDn (or mouse-scroll down) actually goes from page 1 to 4, then 3, and then 2. Another PgDn returns to page 1.
This makes me best use the 'By Pages (default)' and 'Simulate Keypresses (PgDn/PgUp)' Vertical Scrolling settings for doing a capture.
This results in this captured image: (I highlighted the page-numbers)
Screenshot - 02-02-2012 , 22_41_55.png

My feature request would be that the scroll action by keypres can be reverted from PgDn/PgUp to PgUp/PgDn.
And it could be quite easily added by another entry in the combobox, something like 'Reverse Keypresses (PgUp/PgDn) (rare)'. The (rare) I added to emphasize that only in rare situations it would be used.
And I feel this could also go for the Left/Right keypresses of the Horizontal scroll setting.

Just tried on a clean install of XP-pro SP1. Dropped a few folders of music (mp3) and movies (mpg), and PlayTime (1.2.6.3) displayed it all without a hitch, and played the files I selected and that are supported by a plain XP install: mp3 and mpg are fine :)

Just for fun I dropped in an album by a quite famous (all over NL :D) singer :P

General Software Discussion / Re: WEATHER or Not ?
« Last post by Ath on January 30, 2012, 07:04 AM »
I'm used to 'Install Wizards' and can't handle much less.   :(    Does sWeather use one?
Not for as far as I can see.

Normal steps for this 'portable install' would be:
- Download the zip-file
- Unpack all files to a directory of choice
- Create a shortcut to a handy place, like the desktop (right-click-drag from Windows Explorer to desktop, release, choose Create shortcut here, optionally rename the shortcut)

You could PM Skwire, and ask if he can provide an installer, if needed I can assist with some Inno Setup knowledge.

I've been very happy using sWeather by long time DC member Skwire.

Doesn't have an alarm setting, but that can be a feature request away, if you ask nicely :D (though detecting 'nasty weather' could be an issue)

Screenshot Captor / Re: Scrolling Capture Deluxe Thread
« Last post by Ath on January 28, 2012, 07:07 AM »
I've uploaded a new version with some more elaborate functionality when you press the "TEST WINDOW" before beginning a scrolling capture.  That button will engage a process that will try to guess the best settings to capture the window.

Essentially it tries to figure out the optimal way to do a LINE-based scroll (as opposed to a page-based scroll) which can be more reliably overlapped (since page-based scrolling sometimes yields 0 overlap between pages).
Just tried this updated version on Visual Studio again, and the all new and improved "Super Scrolling Capture" is finally beginning to make sense on VS2010. :)

Did the AutoDetect for the best capture method (the texts after testing mentions a Re-Test button I couldn't find when focus wasn't inside the main code area) and it suggested to also horizontally scroll.

After making such capture it shows that that's not a good idea, as VS adds too much extras in the left margin:
Screenshot - 28-01-2012 , 13_44_59-margin1.png and because of my plugins, on the right margin: Screenshot - 28-01-2012 , 13_44_59-margin2.png

The left margin stuff is also on the second column of captures, so an overlap-merge isn't going to work here anyway, and the right-margin I also want to keep, so either I have to scale down the view, or format my code into a single-column view :tellme:
The Guess Overlaps does work quite correct to all pages except for the End Overlap, this way.

This time (compared to my previous attempt, 2 days ago) I got a perfect capture, though I had to tweak the margins a bit after having them guessed by SSC, and it couldn't guess the overlap (no horizontal scroll, gave a messagebox telling me so), so I did that by hand.

I'm getting happier with every update :Thmbsup: :-*

General Software Discussion / Re: ZOOM setting reminder ?
« Last post by Ath on January 28, 2012, 05:59 AM »
why would someone choose to continue using an older version of IE?
Because of the silly/stupid behavior of the 'security system' warning me about every download I want to do "This might be unsafe". Usually I just say/cry F.I., I know what I'm doing, don't bother me with that. That's the main reason I use Firefox. It just works. :up:
Older versions (currently IE8) also don't have so much trouble handling the OCX-ridden page I have to use at work for hours-spent registration. Though it seems to work with IE9, as others are forced on IE9 with their new laptops.

IE9 treats me like a child/no-brainer, and that's what I don't accept, with 27+ years in the IT business ;D
