I think the solution for ransomware is to just make regular backups of everything that's important. If you get hit by some ransomware, just format everything and restore from backup.

Bingo.
In my view this is the proper solution to almost any security breach. Trying to "repair" the damage is an uphill battle.  Better to just restore from a known good state.

In Screenshot Captor, you can edit/move/delete objects after you have saved the file, the trick is that in order to select an object you have to go into Object Editing Mode.  You can do that by simply double-clicking the item to enter object editing mode and select the object, then hit Delete key to delete it.

Minor update posted with better ability to easily resize preserving aspect ratio in region select mode -- very useful when used with your list of MyFavorite region sizes:
  • Trigger a region capture
  • Hit 1-9 key to select your preset region size
  • Now just move the mouse to move the region, or hold alt and move mouse to resize preserving aspect ratio.

Do you have idea if i can integrate minicap.exe to VB.NET visual basic codes?
I'm not a vb coder but it should be very easy (just 1 line of code to a ShellExecuteEx type function) to launch minicap with a set of commandline parameters.

« Last post by mouser on March 08, 2018, 04:58 PM »
comcast is an evil internet provider when it comes to cost, but your friend may have a very hard time finding a better performing provider in her area.  AT+T is another common provider but it would surprise me if they were any better performance wise.
her list of options is going to be very small and completely dependent on her local neighborhood -- i don't think anyone else not living in her immediate proximity is going to be able to offer much advice.

Can you try this beta:


You can try passing the -noerr commandline parameter.
More importantly, the -stderr option that you tried in the past which did not work should now work properly in this case.

There are 2 things that cause/effect this:

Go to the text box object.
  • At the very top of the text box options panel there is a transparency/opacity slider.  Set that to 255 to make it not show through the background.
  • And *ALSO* (this is the more confusing one) is the Blend Mode at the bottom. You should set this to NORMAL if you don't want to see any background shining through.  Setting this to something else could cause the background to shine through in different ways.

It's nice that these security programs are trying to protect us, but it's absolutely unacceptable for these programs not to be designed with the assumption that they are going to make false positive mistakes.  They should make it super easy to undo any action they might take.  Any program that doesn't do that is not ready for public use.

This was something I fixed in the latest update!

Make sure you have the latest version and make sure this option is unchecked:

But we need the file name to be exact as this  "$dt:%Y %B %d  %H-%M-%S$"  "2018 March 07  03-50-11"

It can't be EXACTLY like that because that filename is not unique if you launch this several times within one second. We could add milliseconds to the time value though, so like "2018 March 07  03-50-11-01"

Unless you are saying that if the file already exists it should just exit and not save the file.  It would be very easy to add an option for this, to simply suppress the error and not save the file if a file already exists with that name.  Is that what you'd prefer?

Looks like it's a conflict with trying to write to the same filename simultaneously by multiple process at the same time.  Let me reproduce it and then add a few different ways to fix it.

But try this in the meantime: Add $uniquenum$ to your filename, such as:

minicap.exe -capturedesktop -cursor -compress 5 -exit -save "C:\MINICAP\%COMPUTERNAME%\%USERNAME%\ $dt:%Y %B %d  %H-%M-%S$ $uniquenum$.jpg"

I'm not sure that will solve it, because the problem may be that the file is being created by another process between the time it checks for an existing file and the time it tries to save it, but give it a try and let me know.

« Last post by mouser on March 06, 2018, 05:00 AM »
I'm trying to think of a way to do this easily.  It would be fairly easy for me to make it easy to make a bunch of arrows with numbers on the end.. Currently there is no easy way for me to combine objects like a stamp shape with text inside it, etc.  That's something I'd like to add.

Bug - Unable to remove "Auto-Adjust (Shrink) region" from toolbar (option is there, but isn't respected).

You are right, I will fix.  Good catch.
