Application being captured: firefox.exe (MozillaWindowClass)
ATTENTION: A number of methods were attempted to scroll the contents of the target window, but nothing worked.
Sometimes when this happens it simply means you have to first click inside the actual content area of the window to be captured.
You could try clicking inside the target window where the content is, and then click the "Re-test" button; or choose manual scroll method below.
Alternatively, if you selected a full application window, click the "Back" button and re-select a more specific scrollable content area.
This example is different again in that it's a PDF within the browser - presumably in Adobe Reader?Assuming you addressed me:-tomos (March 17, 2012, 11:31 AM)
No, I don't have Adobe reader installed, but Foxit PDF reader. AFAIK that doesn't have a plug-in for Chrome (in contrary to FireFox), so I guess Chrome handles pdf display itself.-Ath (March 17, 2012, 01:12 PM)
But as I have said this simple vertical scroll capture should nevertheless be dead simple in SC or there is little purpose in learning how to use it; MHO of course.-peterlonz (March 17, 2012, 01:23 AM)
[Window Title] Screenshot Captor
[Content] ATTENTION:
The vertical overlap value could not be guessed. This means that either that the page
contents have no overlap, or, more likely, that the overlap was too small to
reliably detect or that the contents changed while scrolling.
Please check the stitched image and manually adjust the margin and overlap values.
Tip: After changing margins you might try pressing the "2" button to re-guess overlaps.
[OK]
I couldn't even get to the website with Google Chrome! Opera got me there and download was fine.-Carol Haynes (March 16, 2012, 04:46 AM)
edit/ on Opera it's actually downloading - but at rates that vary between predictions of taking 6 hours up to 14 days ;-)-tomos (March 16, 2012, 04:41 AM)
My opinion on the system itself - I was kind of meh. All that build up for some top-secret method of organization that has been refined over 10 years? I just expected more. I don't know exactly what I expected, but I expected there to be more of whatever it turned out to be.-Innuendo (March 15, 2012, 10:24 AM)
I actually think: it either works - or it doesnt. I'm gonna give it a go, starting it today.Ok. Finished reading the first installment. It's ok as far as it goes. I'm not sure what exactly the author feels is so different about this scheme.-40hz (March 15, 2012, 08:12 AM)
| Why It Works ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At the beginning of this newsletter I said there were three factors which every time management system needs to address: urgency, importance and psychological readiness. Let's see how FV deals with each of these. Urgency. Because of the nature of the preselection process, urgent tasks tend to get selected - generally speaking the human brain wants to do things that it knows are urgent. If things come up that are particularly urgent they can be added to the preselected list at any time. Importance. Generally speaking the human brain is a bit less keen on doing important stuff than it is on doing urgent stuff. This is particularly the case when the important stuff is difficult. However the FV preselection process ensures that tasks towards the beginning of the list are given as much attention as tasks towards the end of the list. Psychological Readiness. This is where FV really enters new dimensions. By using a pre-selection process, the brain is softened up towards the selected tasks. But this isn't all. The selection process is based on what you want to do. This colours the whole preselected list so that even the first task, which you may not have wanted to do at all, gets affected. In addition, doing the list in reverse order, with the least wanted task last, uses structured procrastination to get the tasks done. |
So here I am with the most frequent & difficult task, for which I sought out Screen Capture, & I can't make it work.
Surely I don't have to watch an instruction video for something so fundamental?-peterlonz (March 15, 2012, 02:39 AM)
Oh, I didn't mean the contents of the e-mail (and totally agree with you), but the impressions of the system once you have time to peruse it more closely.-wraith808 (March 14, 2012, 11:47 AM)
edit/ If I get the time to have a closer look I'll report back.
Much appreciated. Now that I'm more fully coherent (and in an admittedly less cranky mood now that my allergy meds have started working) I'll probably subscribe too.

I'm always amazed that some people feel the need to make you jump through hoops just to get some straight information out of them about something.-40hz (March 14, 2012, 09:46 AM)

My favourite *easy* screen capture "programme" was minicap via FARR (as an alias). I lost track of it after my last hardware update. Was my favourite - would be nice if it came with FARR by default (dont know if that would cause other headaches). Just re-"installed" the alias, it came with an outdated minicap so I wont link to it (I replaced the minicap with up-to-date files, will see how I get on...)
Edit/ although I see there's an Alias only download that presumably works with an installed minicap

Well, while I've had a few, let me post a few thoughts:
