Screenshot Captor - request: add caption automatically
qwibbles:
Not sure how I missed this application while looking through the donation coder software.
I have used SPX Instant Screen Capture for years, as it seemed to be the only package that could take screenshots add a caption and autoname them the way I wanted.
Thanks to a bit of reading of the manual this time ;). I no longer need to use SPX Instant Screen Capture. In fact this thing is on a par with Snag IT for the amount of functionality you get. (Add Paint.net and you're sorted.)
Anyway I digress, a big thanks to Mouser .... again.
qwibbles:
Um ..... I think this post may have to be moved to the feature request section. 8)
It appears the add caption has to be triggered manually after each capture .... <insert words here>. I would like it automatically added.
Also the %customdate% is common for the caption and the file name.... however I would like to use \ in the caption added to the image.
or ... maybe it's just me reading the manual wrong :-)
I am basically after the ability of the software to automatically save image with a given name which it does fine :-) but I would like it to add the caption automatically and then safe the output once or email the output.
Sorry for posting in the wrong section now .....
mouser:
so what you want is for it to auto add a visible caption to the image.
this isnt very hard to add though you may be the only person on the planet that wants it.
let me take it under consideration -- it's not that i'm not willing to add it, it's just it may be something better left until i add a more general scripting/plugin support feature.
qwibbles:
Thanks for the quick responce.
Yes a checkbox in the options which auto adds the caption to the screenshot would be great, that way I can perform multiple screenshots and the caption gets automatically added. (Also the custom date to support the '/', ':' or '\' in the caption only).
P.S. Scripting support would been even better .... :-) but I am not that greedy.
I know 3 other people who would use the function as they all use SPX Instant Capture.
I have an autoit script (from their forums) which triggers a screenshot via the printscreen while doing basic software testing (On Mouse Click). This acts as a record of what was entered on the screens during testing. (I know I should use WinRunner, QA Test or some other automated test suite ... but they cost a fair bit and I just do not need all the other functionality for the simple stuff with which I am involved).
I just want to know what was entered during testing without the .. well I think i put this here but ... e.t.c. The 'tester' can enter the set of tests they are running in the quickfield and we are sorted.
Best Regards, Qwibbles
mouser:
well let me see if i can't add it on the next update --
it's just gotten to the point where the options dialog of things to do "on capture" is getting silly and at this point a little scripting thing would make a lot more sense.
