Does not correctly capture dialog window from SpyShelter Check for Update option

<< < (3/4) > >>

mouser:
let me try to reproduce and report.

Defenestration:
- SSC updates the thumbnail view when files are created/deleted/renamed in the capture folder, but it doesn't update the thumbnail view if a file is overwritten (eg. save an image to the capture folder and use the name of an existing file to overwrite it).

SC is designed to auto pickup when a file changes.. but perhaps something about the way you are saving it is making it miss the change.  I actually just changed something that might improve this -- can you try with the latest version of Screenshot Captor and let me know if you still see this behavior?

I restored my computer today and just tried with the previous version, and it's now picking up the change. Must've been some issue with my system.

mouser:
Ok i can confirm and reproduce the problem.
Now i'll try to solve it.

I can see the proximal cause is that the background black/white box it's trying to draw behind the child window is not being drawn outside the window borders.

What I don't know is if this is something easy to fix -- an oversight on my part -- or whether it's a more fundamental problem with the bitblitting operation im using to paint the area behind the window.  I shall report.

mouser:
Ok i found the culprit, but the solution is imperfect.

I have added a new option that tells SC whether you want to restrict to a small margin when capturing non-top (child) windows.
This was the default in previous versions, but is disabled in the new version.

The caveat is this -- if you uncheck this box you will have to ensure that the child dialog is not in front of the parent window -- but is instead outside of it.
Otherwise it will fail to isolate it from the background of the parent window and it will look even worse than before.

Try re-downloading from normal download url and let me know if it works for you.


Perhaps later I can automatically move the window away during capture and move it back afterwards.

Defenestration:
Thanks for taking the time to look into this. I'll let you know if it works.

FYI, WindowClippings 3 has no problems capturing this window and shadow, even when in front of the main parent window, so it must be possible. It does this without moving the window away.
