Find And Run Robot / Re: [Feature request] FARR retina (high-dpi) aware ?

They seem to work on my tests, exactly as before, with one glitch -- the titlebar is shorter than one would like.

If you check out the FARR options dialog, it lets you click on parent node which just shows a line of text telling you to choose a child page.  This lets you move up and down the tree hierarchy with keyboard.
I can make SC work like that.

« Last post by mouser on March 13, 2017, 08:59 PM »

I've been updating my apps to better support high-DPI displays (where the windows text size setting is larger than 100%).

LBV will get the new support soon, stay tuned.

It certainly should copy every new DIFFERENT bitmap..
Note that there are settings that control how big a bitmap has to be before CHS will ignore it.. perhaps that is the problem?

General Software Discussion / Re: Windows Explorer now has banner ads

« Last post by mouser on March 11, 2017, 03:04 PM »

Surely they aren't showing ads for those who paid for Windows 10.
But this is still a bad omen.

On the other hand it's just another reminder that you shouldn't be using windows explorer, you should be using one of the 3rd party alternatives.  This will just help spread the word to more people.

The latest beta includes some substantial under-the-hood GUI changes to support high-dpi monitors (where your Windows display settings are set to > 100% text size).

I'm hoping that this does not result in any oddities for normal windows users -- please let me know if anything looks off!

A number of other smaller changes are also included in this beta.

v4.19.1 BETA - Mar 11, 2017

• [MajorFeature] First High-dpi compatible version beta.
• [Feature] Added option to control whether an override filename specified in the post-capture pop-up dialog will always be used as the full filename (new default; see post-cap options tab) or whether it will be used as the %quickfield% field if present in the filename template (old behavior).
• [BugFix] Custom filename and comment is no longer cleared after each action on the post-capture pop-up dialog.
• [Feature] You can now use %APPDRIVE% and other replacement fields when specifying screenshot folder in options.
• [Feature] Workaround for trying to UNDO when using arrow tool.
• [Feature] Added option in uploader to preserve log across runs, and to copy log to clipboard.

Just a heads up -- I'm hoping to let you configure arbitrary icon/image sizes for your launchbar icons soon.

You want CHS to create multiple instances of the same exact bitmap clip? Why would that be useful?

Screenshot Captor / Re: Ctrl+Z Undo doesn't work?

« Last post by mouser on March 10, 2017, 02:48 AM »

There was an issue when drawing arrows that the cursor was in the arrow text label and so ctrl+Z was trying to undo any typing for the label rather than the arrow action.  Latest version will have a fix.

I'm glad to hear that preliminary reports are favorable.  I'm sure there will be some tweaking needed but it looks like the basic solution is viable.

Let me clarifying a bit since I keep saying these fixes are for "high-dpi" monitors.

It would be more precise to say that these fixes are to make the app look the way it should for people who have configured the "TEXT SIZE" in windows display settings to be larger than 100%.

In practice, windows suggests such "text size" enlargement for people who have very high resolution monitors (3000x2000 or in that range).


With the text size setting at something larger than 100%, programs are supposed to use larger text fonts and icons so that they are more readable even with the high resolution of the monitor.
Prior to this new release, Screenshot Captor (and my other apps), would ignore the windows "text size" enlargement setting, resulting in dialog windows with the "normal" sized fonts and icons, which could look quite small on these high-resolution monitors.


So.. Bottom line is that the new releases of my software meant to be compatible with high-dpi monitors, are really all about being compatible with Windows "text size" magnifications larger than 100%.   You shouldn't see any change if your setting for text magnification is at 100% (NOTE: If you want to experiment with this setting you MUST logout/reboot after changing it or SC and other apps will not properly adjust).

FARR high-dpi will follow very soon after -- SC is the hard one so once that's working my other apps will be easy.

Screenshot Captor / Re: How Do I Make the Program accept a key combo I have assigned to...

« Last post by mouser on March 09, 2017, 04:46 AM »

You can do what you want with Screenshot Captor.

I'll give quick vague instructions and then if those are sufficient I can try to be more specific.

Step 1:
Set option to tell SC to capture and STAY MINIMIZED -- this will satisfy your desire to never be bothered with any extra choices to click, etc.
Set option to tell SC to automatically copy captures to the clipboard -- you will have a couple of choices here, whether to copy bitmap of image or file; experiment to see which works best depending on where you like to paste.
Use the shift+PrtScr hotkey to capture a REGION with crosshairs (or set a custom hotkey).
