Screenshot Captor / Re: Screenshot Captor 3.17 Beta Test - Feb 23, 2013 - Feedback Wanted

« Last post by cmpm on February 24, 2013, 07:49 PM »

After saving the image with a caption,
and opening the screenshot in another viewer,
the text does not show in the caption.
The caption space shows but not the text.

The text and caption area both show in another viewer,
if I copy and 'paste as file' with c.gingerich's paste as file.

Is the version number still 3.17.01?
That is what I'm getting from the first post.

ps. check out the new arrow-text edit button -- should make it easier to put more text on your arrows.

-mouser (February 23, 2013, 11:52 AM)

Has the arrow text feature always been there? And I missed it somehow.
Very good feature btw, never seen it in other screenshot programs either.

Probably talking too much here, but anyway...
For small to medium cars I'd pick honda or toyota or another import. imo
They are put together here in the us mostly I believe.

I drove a honda civic for a while too, good car.
I was down to choosing between the civic or the accord when I settled on the accord.
Higher off the ground makes it easier to get in and out of.
I had to go with a 4 door because the 2 door cars have a longer door to deal with.
Plus I wanted easy access to the back seat.

For a full size car I'd pick the big Fords.
Dependable and they last forever.
The Crown Victoria is the big Ford.

I did have Dodge truck from '91 to 2004.
Put over 250,000 miles on it before I retired from self-employed.
Then gave it to my brother who is still driving it. 300k plus now and still going.
So that new dodge Dart may be worth checking out.

Acura is made by Honda, and Lexus by Toyota.
Both good cars.
Kia makes a good car too. They put Hyundai motors in their cars.
I have not driven a Hyundai, but we had a Kia Optima till it was totaled.
It was a good car, and still a good buy imo.

I like the concept.

http://www.theverge....with-monthly-updates

I would like to see this implemented into different things to make it practical.
Perhaps the windshield of my car or something for work while I'm moving around.
Not just googling info or taking pictures and videos, which is useful.
Something like Skype or Google Voice would be nice.
Or displaying articles.

I really like Honda, they make a really good car.
This is my latest Honda, an Accord, and my wife drives a CRV from Honda.
The CRV is all wheel drive, useful for bad winter weather, if you keep on the street.
A 4 wheel drive is better for off road, different from all wheel drive

Looking at 7stacks site again, noticed the author has a popup calendar.
Add another to the mix. Seems lite, $15
View-day, week, month, year.

Here's a shot of 7stacks.
the home page-http://alastria.com/software/7stacks/
This is actually the 'My Documents' folder, showing dc's folder with a 'goback' button, and the popup that will show how many folders and files inside.

Okay, I get it, I think
Would a new toolbar on the taskbar work?
This is my dropbox folder for an example.
Just because I'm sure you know what it is, and not something else.

If this is what you want.

What's nice about VueMinder is the ability to add hyperlinks and shortcuts to files on my computer.
Maybe some of these others can do that as well, I don't know.

Anyway, if you could add that ability, mouser, that would be cool.
Or maybe to open Notepad or choice of word processor designated,
when clicking on a date. That would more workable then a small box, I think.

I don't have VueMinder running all the time, only when I need it.

The plus of DropBox over Box is that DB has a larger file size upload limit.

I like Windows Live Photo Gallery, after using a few dozen others.
It can do most all of my viewing and editing needs with video support too.
I don't have thousands, just hundreds.
The thumbnail rendering and scrolling and navigation is fast enough for me.

It's a good way to entertain kids and keep them from getting into trouble via boredom.
A good tool to inspire imagination as well.
We are raising two boys and the effects socially are minimal.
21 and 23 now, teachers were impressed with their ability to type and understand technology and communicate what they learned.
Starting with 3.1 to present they have always had access to computers and more.
