ScreenshotCaptor folder opens

[kaithu41]

Hi, I use ScreenshotCaptor mainly to capture and save info from various sites. I have set it up to automatically send the captured file to IrfanView which automatically opens and let me edit the captured picture. Works very well. But after every capture the ScreenshotCaptor folder opens and I have to close it again. I haven't been able to find anything in the Preferences to stop this. What am I missing?

I just ran into the same problem.  I think this should work - load Options (Control-P from main screen), go down to the "Saving and Loading Files" tab, and uncheck the "Save As Options - Open folder after save as box":

mouser... ??

No, sorry, I have already done that. Doesn't work.

let me see if i can reproduce -- can you tell me how you have set the options in SC to open irfanview.

mouser on the case   

Meanwhile, how about a kludge?  How about using something like ClickOff (freeware) or PTFB Pro (payware) or PTFB (last free version) to automatically close the dialog box for you?  Doesn't solve the problem, only the symptoms, but might reduce the irritation until mouser finds a proper fix.

Attaching PostCapture options and what the ScreenshotCapture says in Tool options about IrfanView. Will try the kludge alternatives.

you have "launch external editor" checked -- can you go to the "Screenshot Folder and Tools" options tab, and see what you have configured there -- maybe attach screenshot to post.  i'll bet you have something there causing the problem.

Here goes.

[mouser]

well there you have it.

SC is to blame for not complaining, but the reason the SC folder is opening is because you have checked the box in post-cap form that says "launch external editor" but you haven't specified an "Ext. Image Editor" in that tab.

the proper thing would be for SC to pop up a message box telling you about this discrepancy.

so now you have a choice, you can uncheck that box saying "post capture commandline" and put the irfanview in "Ext. Image Editor", or you can uncheck the "Launch External Editor" checkbox in post capture dialog.

the advantage of doing the former is that you'll have a quick button in your main SC window at all times to open the image in irfanview.

by the way those jpg images you are attaching are super compressed, they are making my eyes bleed.

Thanks a lot, it works very well! Good, because the alternatives were not that easy to handle. - Try clicking on the pictures and your eyes will stop bleeding. Signing off from Sweden.
