Screenshot Captor / Re: Another new feature (Thumbnail Creator), almost ready to be called v3..

« Last post by mouser on January 11, 2006, 07:47 PM »

kleptomania has ocr functionality and i had the feeling that it was quite a remarkable app.. not sure i would want to go up against it.. there are some good ocr engines.. at one point i looked into using one with sc as a commandline tool but couldn't get it to quite work right.  you might want to give kleptomania another try, it seemed quite powerful to me.

sorry to do this to you, but there is now 2.09.05
what's new?
text scraping!

(capture text to clipboard from window captions or messageboxes or about boxes, etc.)
just do windows capture mode, select the text object, hit ctrl+t (or use redbox menu to see preview of text and capture to clipboard).

ok good that it worked out in the end... yeah we need to simplify the license key thing.

I can only recommend taking a "10 finger typing system" course somewhere. It's not that expensive and does not only make typing more fun but also saves LOTS of time!

maybe someone can recommend some good typing training software.  be nice to do a review of them?

the menu sometimes doesnt escape properly if you confuse it by closing it by clicking something off the menu; try pushing the button on the caption if this happens.

as for an error about saving file... that should never happen
if you can figure out how to make it happen again let me know.

wrt shift+rightcontrol, should already work, just hold shift and press rightcontrol to trigger.

as for configurable hotkeys.. not so easy because im using a global keyboard hook which makes it harder to let user specify what to trigger on.

i've uploaded a new version (same url) -
it should now capture menus properly and also you can use right control key instead of mouse click if you want to avoid all mouse clicking to capture.

i could easily add items to the red box right menu for capturing..

yes it might be safer to use a key to do the capture rather than mouse..

that error is happening because the menu is dissapearing before screenshot captor has a chance to grab it..
but that should NOT be happening.. for some reason screenshot captor is not blocking the mouse click on the menu which it should be.. i thought it was.. going to have to try to find the problem.

looks like nero is on track to be one of those great apps that goes on a path of bloatation and becomes unusable at which point the cycle resets and we start looking for another simple pure app that just gets the job done.

i was thinking i might add some kind of advanced option for scrolling window capture, where it first analyzed the window then gave you a report about what it was about to do (and how big the result would be) and you could then cancel the capture or maybe adjust some settings..

1) How do you determine window class names to use the exceptions? Are you going to provide a drag and drop tool for this?

actually Red Box Capture mode tells you the window class name in its caption in the (), but i will probably add the info in the right-click options dialog, along with program exe name, which im afraid is going to be necesary (or maybe just parent window class) in order to differentiate between certain different programs with same window names.

regarding xdesk - so it sounds like the problem is simply a shortkey conflict (xdesk also reacts to ctrl+shift+click; i can make an alternate hotkey for scrolling window capture)

Screenshot Captor / Screenshot Captor 2.08.01 - EARLY BETA with scrolling cap

« Last post by mouser on January 10, 2006, 07:49 PM »

this is an early beta - do NOT install this if you dont want to help test.  just wait until next stable release.
it seems stable to me and the new object capture mode can be disabled, but still i recommend normal users just wait.

youll find a new tab of options called "Red Box Capture" in the preferences which control the use of this new mode.

i think the new code adds a lot to the program - it's not just scrolling capture, its a new interface for capturing objects and regions - you can even leave it open and capture multiple windows and stuff before returning to screenshot captor main window:

yeah im a bit confused whats different about firefox that is blocking it from working.. firefox does have some free screencapture plugins however so its not a huge loss..  but i'll still try to solve it.
