That works fine.
Just the frame shows up under "Frames\" in the main UI…
Clicking that applies frame and mask.

what if you trigger the handsholding2 FRAME -- does it then apply the mask properly?
FWIW, it does for me.
Both the frame and the mask appear in my frames panel. If I click the frame it applies the mask.

(I also have a frame and a mask for some balls. If I use that it brings a masked balls up.)

If I try to use it, I get the "frame" part working, but the mask part does not, and SSC pops up "Access violation at address 00723F54 in module 'ScreenshotCaptor.exe'. Read of address 00000000."

Do other people get this effect?

Yes, exactly the same thing (win7-64)

        :Thmbsup:

So, in my example I'd like no underscores at all in the file name and only single spaces.
At the moment, the final file name is
Post Pop Up Working Fine_Firefox__Apr 2013.png
I'd prefer to see
Post Pop Up Working Fine Firefox Apr 2013.png
-self

Latest beta does exactly what I requested.

So, using Firefox, by entering "Cranio is as dumb as a bag of hammers" in the post-capture dialogue box (should be a standard entry for my copy)
and setting the Default Comment box to be:
b-b%description%
b%scrapetext%
%customdate%
(wherein, for this post, "b" represents a space)
I get an image named
"Cranio is as dumb as a bag of hammers - Firefox Apr 2013.png"

Thank you!

Thanks for the character replacement option.
In the attached example I'm set up to append Firefox and Apr 2013 to the file name.

In the file naming template I have name as %filememo%
and comment as
%description%
%scrapetext%
%customdate%


in Automatic Captions I have %description% %customdate% %browserurl%

Previously, if I entered Post Pop Up Working Fine in the post-capture comment field I'd have had Post_Pop_Up_Working_fine as the first part of the file name. Now, I elected to use a space, so that's great for the Post Pop Up Working Fine part but it's not extending to cover the _Firefox__Apr 2013 part (my custom date is %b %Y, btw).

Also, it would be a cherry on top of the icing on the cake if multiple consecutive char replacements could be condensed into just a single item (see the double underscore between Firefox and Apr).

So, in my example I'd like no underscores at all in the file name and only single spaces.
At the moment, the final file name is

« Last post by cranioscopical on March 30, 2013, 12:58 AM »
yeah i think the solution is to let people have some control over the filename from the postcapture dialog, so ill put that at the top of my todo list.  that should let you do what you want.
  :Thmbsup: Much appreciated! If you are able to implement that it would mean for me that I could have a matching and meaningful file name and caption by typing only a single word (such as "bachelor").

What you want can't be done yet.. but I will try to add it.
Thanks, I realize it would take a little sleight of code.

The only quick tip to remind you of as a workaround is that to quickly rename the current file from the main window just change the filename in the filename edit field at the very bottom and hit enter.
And very useful that field is, too — I use it! The memo beneath can be made to show the caption text, which can be copy/pasted as the file name. Then again, why waste a second on what the computer can do in a nanosecond?  ;)

So your question is about auto-naming the file right? You want the FILENAME to contain the custom comment you type into the post-capture dialog, is that right? (that's not currently possible but it's something i could try to add).

Or is there something else you're trying to do as well?

I would like the file name AND the caption to be identical.
AND I would like both to be automatically generated.
I would like the automatically generated material to be based on the custom comment from the post-capture pop-up plus whatever else is set in the file naming template (in my case that's %description% and a custom date string).

I wasn't asking if you would add this (though it would be nice if you could). My question was based on the assumption that I had missed something in the current options.

I'm being very very lazy here - I can just copy the sub-string that I want from the file memo and paste that as the file name.

Also, I note that SC still doesn't make me a cup of tea!

Screenshot Captor / Question about post-capture file naming
« Last post by cranioscopical on March 28, 2013, 03:44 PM »
I have a question about automatic file names and automatic captions in SC4.

This is where I'm at...

(I'm using a custom date string of %b-%y)

Default new filename field has:
%description% %customdate%

Automatic captions has:
%description% %customdate%

Post Capture - Actions has:
Add caption to image checked

Post-capture pop-up form has:
If custom comment...add a caption for it checked


So, if I grab a shot from "BBCeditor" and add "Baffled" in the post-caption pop-up field (because I am) 
I get a caption of: Baffled BBCeditor Mar-13
and a file name of: BBCeditor Mar-13 (no "Baffled")

Is there any way for SC naming to use the comment added in the post-capture pop-up, in the same way that the captioning does?
In other words, I'd like the caption and the name to be identical, each using whatever I type into the post-capture comment field.
 
Any help  would be appreciated — but make it fast, they don't let me out of the rubber room all that often.

So, this Wilma is not this Wilma:
  (see attachment in previous post)

Huh, no WiLMA is not Wilma but what can you do with a program whose instructions are so opaque, viz. "The right arrow key can be used to jump to the next result… "
What would happen if one were to press the wrong arrow key?

I've sort of tried Actual Window Manager, but I was overwhelmed by the tabs and tabs of options. The other recommendations in this post just don't fill the bill, so when I'm more human I will investigate AWM.
My solution to that is just to ignore the bits I don't need  ;D

What about Displayfusion 5?

You could try out Actual Window Manager or Actual Multiple Monitors at www.actualtools.com.

I'm not affilated with them but I use and like AWM and the author is responsive.

Luck!

That's not a bug.
Go to the automatic captions tab in options and on the right you will see the setting that says where to put the caption :
-mouser

Oops!  :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

Sorry  :(

Now, I'd like to tell it where to put the caption, but it wouldn't be altogether polite…

First caption inserted (incorrectly) automatically.
Second caption applied through Objects/add caption (correctly positioned)

Oh... a MUST have for your car - wheel spinner knob:
They make sharp turns fast & almost instant.

If you don't have one... GET one! It might take a little bit to get used to, but you will LOVE it!
I have something like this on my tractor.
I don't do a lot of high-speed turns on that (it tends to tear up the yard a bit when there's no ice around  ;)) but the spinner facilitates reversing trailers into tight spots.
