Screenshot Captor / Re: Not saving with filename specified in preferences

« Last post by SuperMan on February 19, 2025, 01:19 PM »

In the main ScreenshotCaptor window you've in the lower right-hand corner a field for quick file naming.
This is for quick naming a series of screenshots aside the default setting.
Maybe you've put some text in there.

Bullseye!  Thanks much!

You can change the vertical window size of that bottom pane with those name fields on it and I had it scrunched down so that it was almost hidden and wasn't able to see that there was anything in it.  Thanks a whole lot for the great guess!

Miss Mouser.  Does he ever make an appearance on the site these days?

Thanks again!

Screenshot Captor / Re: Cannot capture browser windows

« Last post by xbeatle on February 18, 2025, 10:35 PM »

It's 2/18/25 and I have the same issue on my Windows 11 PC using latest version of SC v4.36.2..

I think it's a Firefox issue as I can't seem to duplicate it in Chrome.

I use the hotkey Shift+PrtSc

In a Firefox tab I get the message:

"Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

"We can’t connect to the server at www_getwindowinfo.

If you entered the right address, you can:

    Try again later
    Check your network connection
    Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)"

Hope this helps...

Fluent search seems to be attempting to do this. It allows plugins so it should be doing at least some of that to some extent.

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet but Aquasnap seems to fit the bill.

Thanks for making this.

Preme has this feature too, but yours seems a smoother implementation of it.

There was also Escape close but that was years old and doesn't always work.

Is it possible to get this working on 64 bit wim10?

Why are you resurrecting such ancient threads?  They probably haven't been updated because there don't seem to have been any developments in dialog box extenders for 10 or 15 years or even more.

You might try PowerPro.  It too is a very old program but despite its age, the author is still maintaining it, to a limited extent.  Dialog box extension is only part of what it can do.  Configuring it is not for the faint-hearted.  The link is for the mailing list, as that's now the only place you can get up-to-date files and support.  You have to be logged in as a user to access files, but getting an account is free.

Alternatively, you might try Listary.  It's not a dialog box extender as such and is a different way of working. Its main features are search files, launch apps, quick switch, web search.  "Quick switch" means that Alt-Tabbing between (supported) file managers and the dialog box of, say, and editor, will point the dialog box to the directory the file manager is looking at.

FWIW, 0.14.1 has been out for a while:

[Changed] New icon, slightly less awful.
[Bugfix] On macOS, groffstudio printed debug output where it shouldn't.
[Bugfix] Preprocessors did not quite work as well as they should have.

General Software Discussion / Re: Open/Save Dialog Utilities - response to Nudone's Blog from May

I don't think this is quite the same thing, but some might find it useful - part of a post on TalkAboutShareware:

OpenWide by Luke Hudson

http://lingo.atspace.com/index.html

OpenWide was written to avoid a few [more] minor annoyances with Windows.
This program allows you to specify the position and size of Windows' Open and
Save dialog boxes, and also to specify where the initial focus should be and
which view will be the default.

Good luck with it and enjoy.

This is a test release. Limited testing has shown it to work on a release of
Win2000 Professional and a release of WinXP Home.


Features
Set position and size of Open & Save dialogs

Set initial keyboard focus

Set initial view style

Drag & drop folders onto the title bar of an Open/Save dialog box,
and the view will change to that folder!

Wish there was a way to make it remember all window settings, not just the open dialog
