Screenshot Captor / Re: Capture Only Grabs Upper-Left Portion of Screen

« Last post by mouser on February 17, 2021, 11:58 AM »

I don't quite understand.  Are you saying the new beta of Screenshot Captor still has a problem? Can you explain the problem more?

Anyone with problems having the screen zoom in when you do a selected-region capture or similar bugs care to try this beta?

General Software Discussion / Re: For the love of all that is holy stop the ctrl+MouseWheel text scaling - SOLVED

« Last post by mouser on February 15, 2021, 07:40 PM »

AHK (and airvine2 the person who made that ahk post) to the rescue! Thanks for finding that 4wd.
So now I just need to tweak this scipt so that I can still do Ctrl+Mousewheel when I want to.. perhaps by remapping Ctrl+Alt+Wheel to send Ctrl+Wheel (actually it looks like Ctrl+Alt+Wheel zooms the size also, so maybe as long as the AHK script doesn't catch both it's all good).

EDIT: Works perfectly, no editing needed.  Ctrl+MouseWheel scroll is disabled, but I can trigger it when I need to with Ctrl+Alt+Wheel.  This solution is perfect since Ctrl+Alt is almost never used by me, so it's not something I will accidentally hit while trying to do something else the wheel is still free spinning.

Awesomeness -- I should have asked this question weeks ago.  DonationCoder forum (and AHK) to the rescue!!

The problem is that I have a new logitech mouse, which has momentum on the scroll wheel, so essentially the scroll wheel sometimes keep moving in the direction i scroll it for a couple of seconds.  So sometimes I will spin the scroll wheel and while it's still spinning I will go to do something that requires me to press the control key, and then all of a sudden I've changed the text font size from 10 to 1 or from 10 to 1000..

« Last post by mouser on February 15, 2021, 02:26 PM »

I am CONSTANTLY, and I mean many times per day, inadvertently changing the scaling of text in all manner of applications (especially web browser but also text editors), by scrolling the mouse wheel while the control key is held down.
Is there a way to turn off this evil behavior?

Can you try this beta:
Download beta version (4.41.0 BETA) from here (or portable).

For sure it is related to this problem.
There seem to be two interacting issues/solutions.. So I have a beta that fixes one half of the problem, but then causes another half of a problem to return.
The two problems seem to be related to the program tricking itself about monitor resolutions.  So in the first problem, its not capturing the entire monitor sometimes; and in the second problem its zooming the screen when you do a region capture.

I think I can work on a fix this week and hope to solve this once and for all.

But I'd like to make sure I understand nkormanik's problem -- whether its happening on a normal window or workspace capture, or a selected region drag+capture operation.

This happened to me recently --it was as if SC was being confused by the monitor dimensions.
What mode of capture are you performing that this happens?

Yes, you'll find if you change those orders you can adjust the order that groups are displayed.  It's just a bit laborious.

I Think drgt is asking to sort the GROUPS not the clips within groups.
For that, you must edit the GROUP and change the "Display Order Weight" manually, so that the Display Weight Order specifies the order for the groups.
I will put on my todo list an option to sort them alphabetically.

Hi Vertigo.

You actually have some options with Screenshot Captor (and all of my apps).

Option 1 is use the portable version, which will keep all its files where you unzip it.

Option 2 is to edit the ConfigDir.ini file in the Screenshot Captor program files x86 directory, and tell it exactly where you want it to store your configuration settings, etc. (I think this is what you describe above in your third possibility).  All of my programs support this feature.

I've been doing (solo) livestreams every weekend around midnight (US time).  They are much less entertaining than the videos with my co-host, but they may provide a service in helping insomniacs fall asleep.  The last one was 6.5 hours long.

That's a nice idea.. I have some code to pull an icon from an exe.. Wouldn't be too hard to do adapt the code, but hopefully a standalone tool already exists for this?

Android Apps / Re: Rating List DC - Feature Requests

« Last post by mouser on February 05, 2021, 04:25 PM »

This sounds like it would actually work well as a new android app using my framework -- perhaps better as a separate app than Rating List features.

So maybe an app where you could create as many items as you want, and create a list of arbitrary fields that each item could have values for.

And then let you sort and filter on those fields..

So basically just a mini little item database.

See if you have set SC to auto add border and shadow after capture:

Screenshot Captor / Re: Screenshot on High Definition Monitor

« Last post by mouser on February 03, 2021, 04:01 AM »

The actual screenshot taken should be an exact copy, but when SC renders the image in its window and has to SCALE it down, it can appear blurry.
So first thing to do is confirm this, by switching to 100% view inside SC window (which will make the capture larger than the window but should confirm that it looks fine).
Then you can go change the scaling algorithm in SC:


Let me know which smoothing option looks least blurry.. Maybe I can make that the default.
