Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Recovering past text

« Last post by mouser on May 01, 2014, 07:49 PM »

No, it's not possible.  Only stuff copied to the clipboard AFTER the program is installed and running are captured and preserved.
There is no tool that can retrieve older clipboard items.

Developer's Corner / Nice Long Read: The Great Works of Software

« Last post by mouser on April 30, 2014, 06:48 PM »

Nice long blog essay looking at some influential software programs.

So I set myself the task of picking five great works of software. The criteria were simple: How long had it been around? Did people directly interact with it every day? Did people use it to do something meaningful? I came up with the office suite Microsoft Office, the image editor Photoshop, the videogame Pac-Man, the operating system Unix, and the text editor Emacs.

I did add it to the new beta.
You can select the option from the Gear icon, and on one of the options tabs somewhere (the red box option tab).

I think if you just uncheck that option on "Window Capturing 1" that says "Try to capture Aero Glass", it should work just like the 3rd screenshot.
I'm trying to think what would have caused it to give you the Vista look in screenshot 2.. i wonder if one of the odder options you changed caused that..

If you capture entire screen, you get proper Metro look right?  In that case there is no reason that SC shouldn't be able to give you the same look at screenshot 3 if you turn off the attempt to grab transparency..

Well it says it's for blackheads but i wouldn't use it for that; but the process is the same for pimples.  you put the hole over the pimple with the round side down and press -- it basically applies lots of pressure in a fairly benign way.
Essentially: If you are compelled to pop a pimple, this is a better way to do it than trying to use your fingers.

Well you are right, the background is no longer transparent.

Now the question is why..

Can you go back to the point where you deleted the background and it was transparent in SC.

Then go look at these options:


The flattening is what you want to avoid.  So if you are doing a SaveAs, you'll have to UNCHECK that option that says to flatten when doing a SaveAs.

dont see anything attached.

SC is quite happy to preserve background transparency so there is no reason it shouldnt work.

what file format are you using? as long as you are using PNG, ScreenshotCaptor should preserve true transparency.
if you save to a format that does not support transparency (bmp, jpg), then SC has no choice.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Feature request: quickly switch between PNG und JPG

« Last post by mouser on April 25, 2014, 10:58 AM »

I don't want to clutter up the post-capture dialog any further, because it will overload people.

However, i could add some ways to send a signal to SC (via second instance commandline option) to do things like this (switch format or do a change of format).
