Screenshot Captor / Re: strange bug: load/display last image

« Last post by mouser on October 07, 2005, 01:18 PM »

if this bug happens reliably for you brotherS, please don't do anything like delete any files or change any settings -

can you try the new version i just uploaded (normal download link) and see if the problem is still there?

Screenshot Captor / Re: strange bug: load/display last image

« Last post by mouser on October 07, 2005, 01:15 PM »

im not sure exactly what is going on but here is what i think:
1) it THINKS it is already displaying the last image, but its not.
2) so when you click on it, its refusing to *redisplay* it.
3) so if you click on another, and then back on last, it displays it, is that right?

if so then i think i can fix it asap.

i'm afraid this is probably the result of the new code i added which is supposed to detect the sitation when you delete the current image and its trying to change to a blank image..  must be a bad side effect of this i'm afraid.  let me try to recreate and study.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Copying files, timestamp existing files and copy new ones in

« Last post by mouser on October 07, 2005, 01:10 PM »

there is something called a copyhook in windows, and you can register to take this over, which is the way this would have to be adddressed.  i'm hoping we will support it in ContextMenu Commander.

General Software Discussion / Anyone know a commandline tool to upload a picture to flickr?

« Last post by mouser on October 07, 2005, 12:48 PM »

the idea to add such a tool to Screenshot Captor was suggested by crono here: https://www.donation...ndex.php?topic=806.0

and it's a great idea.  only thing we need is a commandline tool that can take a file and upload it to one's flickr account.. anyone know such a tool?

My blog today is about 2 of the components that are critical to making Screenshot Captor work, and thanking the authors of these components for their generosity:

https://www.donation...screenshot_capt.html

I think the authors may pay a visit to the blog and I'd like to ask that you read the blog to learn about their kindness, and then if you like Screenshot Captor, express your thanks to them by posting a thank you comment to them on that blog entry (you can do it anonymously, you don't have to sign up to post a comment to a blog entry).

As i said in the blog entry, the donations to this site from users of Screenshot Captor, allowed us to donate back to them, so already you guys/gals have expressed your thanks in that way, but an extra word of thanks never hurts

General Software Discussion / Re: Just how bad is IE?

« Last post by mouser on October 07, 2005, 06:40 AM »

one must distinguish between IE itself, and IE as an engine in other programs/browsers.

for me, IE 6 itself is unusable. completely.
that's because i depend on tabs and microsoft has ignored them so far (v7 supposedly has tabs).

however, i use Netcaptor, which uses the IE engine, and like it a lot.

and yes, many programs use the IE activex engine to render stuff internally.  its quite a bit easier to embed in other programs than the firefox engine, and if firefox wants to compete on that ground they are going to have to do some work to make it easier to embed firefox engine in other programs.

Screenshot Captor / Re: please help: mask looks ugly when image is hosted :(

« Last post by mouser on October 07, 2005, 03:06 AM »

correct.
it means that a normal save operation will NOT merge background transparency, and will instead preserve the transparency in the file.
