You need to make a selection first?

(1/1)

pl5bnsf:
Hello,

When I do a screen print, either with Print Screen or if I use the task bar right click, I get a message box saying "You need to make a selection first", the box is titled "Information". Screenshot Captor comes up (and does the beep for a capture) but nothing was captured. Is it something I am doing or do I not have SC setup correctly?

Thanks!

i was just about to say this is crazy,
BUT
i'll bet i know the problem..

i'll bet you have some automatic action selection in the "on capture" tab of options that requires a selection -
a new change i made, and its causing the error!

let me play around and find which one might be doing it and repost. and then upload a fix.

mouser:
do you have "auto zoom to selection" checked in your "on capture" tab of options by any chance?

i'll fix it so it doesnt complain in an update tonight.

Sorry for not checking for any replies after posting my question  :-[

Right after I posted I thought I had it narrowed down to only happening when a certain Java application was running, which was the main thing I was taking screen shots of. I now can't repeat it and captures are working OK. I am as of right now running 2.01.06. Not sure what version I was on before, I update as soon as I notice an update available (usually by seeing it on BetaNews). Yes, I do have the zoom option on still, but it's all working great right now. If you made a change, thank you.

I often use SC during conference calls via NetMeeting to take snapshots of what the meeting is looking at, really helps a lot to remember and reference things later. Much better than trying to take notes.

mouser:
no problem - you had indeed found a bug, and it's been fixed.

ps.
always nice to hear how people are using the program :)
