ok i think i might be understanding..
a question, do you happen to have your windows set to display large fonts > 100%?

Ok, thanks for your patience.
I've uploaded a new version -- can you give that a try and give me another screenshot?
And also let me know what Operating System you are using.

Keep in mind that I have my displays set to 125%, not 100%.

well yes it does seem very likely that that is the proximal cause, but it really shouldn't have this effect.

cmpm, i wonder if you might try exiting Screenshot captor and deleting the section of your ScreenshotCaptor.ini file labeled
[QuickCaptureForm.rsPropSaver]

Maybe there is something in your old settings that could be causing this..

cmpm, that's definitely a bug, and one i had really hoped would not be seen in the new version
if you restart the program is it still the same?
in fact i don't quite understand why your buttons are so large.

Please elucidate. Waht should be set to help with an oversize caption?

in the Automatic Captions tab you can control how long-lines are handled.. it should be automatic after that.

im afraid i'm not really understanding the behavior you are explaining.. i'm not saying something's not wrong, i'm just saying i don't understand what's happening.

are you able to resize the docked area?

You can control the exact size of what gets reserved.. but on win7 you may have to toggle transparency/border on an off before trying to resize.
You can also set the size from the options.

I THOUGHT you could also use keyboard to adjust the size but i can't for the life of me remember the keyboard keys to use.. I'll have to look it up, i don't see it in help file.  Maybe i just added it to LaunchBar Commander but not to Desktop Coral.

One of my favorite movies of the last year or two is Cry of the Owl -- the 2009 version with Paddy Considine. I just love it.

Thanks for the report dluby; i think i can fix that Add Caption form, and let's forget about the splicing of caption for now.

But the AutoFit squashed caption bothers me.  Can you use the "Capture image of Screenshot Captor window itself" from the main menu Capture menu to show me what it looks like?

I have uploaded a new beta 3.20.


Now with this beta I have good news and bad news and a renewed call for help testing.

The good+bad news are the same -- I've spent the last few days refactoring some very kludgey startup and options code that had been growing more convoluted each year.  I am much happier with the code at this point.

However, there is a very high likelyhood, that with all of the changes and code surgery i've done in the last week that i've broken stuff..

Problems are most likely to be in startup behavior, thumbnail panel refreshing, and options remembering..


I really desperately need your help in testing the new 3.20 version and helping me locate problems -- especially problems you can reproduce.

At this point i'd like to focus on fixing bugs and cap the feature requests until after this release since the change list is already huge with this version.

Thank you!

After saving the screenshot in GIMP, Screenshot Captor doesn't display the changes and also doesn't change the viewed picture while clicking on an other screenshot-file.  Only closing an restarting Screenshot Captor makes it responsible again.

I'm about to release a new beta, i'd appreciate if you could see if the problem remains in the new beta -- i have tried to improve the code responsible for this kind of thing.

(If the problem should ever happen again, clicking on the thumbnail of the current image should force it to reload the current and now changed-by-external-tool image. and hitting f5 in the thumbnail panel should force the thumbnail panel to refresh thumbnails).

excellent idea, i will try to make it so.

you can also rename the current file easily by changing the name in the filename edit field at the bottom of the SC window and hitting enter.

Ok new version uploaded..

A features to try:  Drop files from explorer onto the Screenshot Captor window -- you have some new choices now.


Abterix, can you try the things that weren't working for you before and let me know if any of those problems have not been fixed?  Thanks!

crap -- i'm not sure when this happened but the paint layer does not seem to be loading from saved files any more.. in fact ALL semi-transparentness is being eliminated on save.  working on it..
