Screenshot Captor / Re: Pasted images too large with new laptop

Yeah no need to restart SC.

What file format are you using for images? The default PNG?

Did you try the effect on NEW captures? It won't fix old images.

This can be fixed going forward by changing the internally stored DPI of captured screenshots -- go to the "Image File Format" tab and change the dpi (try 96 if it's higher).
This should fix NEW screenshots but not older ones.

More info here: https://www.donation....msg357545#msg357545

Let me know if that helps.

Please note, that is $80 per year.

It's actually worse, right? It's $80 for the first year, and back up to more expensive every year after that.

General Software Discussion / Re: Project Idea: Distraction Free Retro Coding Computer
« Last post by mouser on November 23, 2017, 10:01 PM »
Note the idea is not just to make it distraction free, but also to accept some limitations in order to keep things focused and predictable as a learning environment.  So it's ok if the user can't install any arbitrary library repository, etc.  We could make some separate way of configuring the machine when expansions are wanted.  But one of the main ideas is to eliminate to overload of choices and options that people are faced with these days, and simply give them a CODER'S LEARNING MACHINE that is ready to go out of the box without the user having to spend their initial time trying to decide what libraries and frameworks to install, etc.

General Software Discussion / Project Idea: Distraction Free Retro Coding Computer
« Last post by mouser on November 23, 2017, 09:14 PM »
I was talking to long time DC member (and original server admin) gothic today about our early experiences coding, on cpm/m machines with no graphics, then trs-80 and tandy color computer, etc.

One of the things we really had warm feelings about were the distraction free and simpler experiences.  You turned on your computer and you coded and ran your program.

You interacted with one program at a time, the one you were writing.  There was no internet, no windows with multiple apps, nothing to install, etc.

So we were thinking about the idea of reproducing this kind of environment, probably using something like a raspberry pi.

The idea would be to build a computer that booted up into a clean distraction free coding environment, probably using python.

It should have a very minimal distraction free interface that made it easy to create/save/load projects, and edit them.  I was thinking maybe a text-only mode and a split-screen text and graphics mode.

The goal should be distraction free minimalism.

This would be meant as a good device for kids to learn coding distraction free.

Any thoughts?

Those favorite sizes are easily toggleable from the redbox region capture mode, but that's different from the fixed size region capture.

Let me add a way to cycle through and directly select a favorite size once the fixed region capture is on screen -- i'll make it so you can hit 1,2,3,4,5,etc. to select that favorite preset.

It's easy to go back or change it in lots of ways -- it's just css.
I'm just thinking we need SOME improvement over the old style.  I kind of like this one but I'm still cogitating on the suggestions.
What would be nice is if someone made some alternative css styles for it and shared. Then we could see which we liked best.

I prefer the quotation marks to be inside the panel.

Aren't they already the way you prefer them? Were they ever otherwise?

I see you what you mean about them possibly suggesting a "pull-quote".. That hadn't occurred to me..

Open options.

Go to hotkeys and set a hotkey for "Capture Fixed Sized Region".

Go to My Favorites and set the "Fixed region capture" size.

Go to Interface Options and tell SC to "After Capture Show: Stay Minimized".

Go to Post-Capture Options and choose "Copy to clipboard:" and make your choice.
