{escape} to cancel printscreen
« on: December 14, 2012, 10:24 AM »
In former versions of Screenshot Captor, if I initiated a screen capture (and have the crosshairs on the screen) but then want to cancel that action, I could push the escape key and it would cancel.  However, now I can't seem to do that - that is, escape doesn't do anything and I am forced to make some capture in order to continue.

Is there a setting for that or have I gotten my system out-of-whack somewhere?

SC v3.08.01 Windows7x64

I could not find a setting for that, and the help file says that should work.
You could uninstall SC, and reinstall it to see if that fixes it.
Your license will be saved when uninstall/install.

just checked,
works here on Win7 64bit with the same version.

I have a memory of having the same problem in the not-too-distant past - but I never got around to reporting it, and now it's working fine...

It seems to work now; I don't know if it was from an update, or because something fixed itself, but escape seems to work now. v4.00.01

Tip: You can also hit spacebar to reset the corner if you started dragging in the wrong place.

Thanks, Mouser.  That is a good tip!
