Screenshot Captor / Re: Main Window & Resize Dialog Mangled

« Last post by goozak on February 20, 2025, 07:21 AM »

I rarely use Screenshot Captor on my home computer, which was recently updated to Windows 11.  So I just found this issue.

Sad to see that it's a know issue for a while...  Is there any hope for an update?

Glad I know about it though, I'll fight with all my might so that my work computer doesn't get Windows 11!

...

Well, poking around this forum a bit more, it seems that all these softwares are abandoned (latest release was in 2022), with no action in the forum from Mouser other than in Living Room...  I do hope his boardgame project goes well.

I should look for a replacement, then, not stay away from Windows 11...

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

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.

Announce Your Software/Service/Product / Re: AcFolders - new file-open dialog box extender

« Last post by rjbull on February 17, 2025, 11:04 AM »

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

-ibay770 (February 16, 2025, 06:09 PM)

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.
