Problem with Grab Selected Region

(1/2) > >>

andrew.r:
I upgraded to the latest version and have a problem with capturing selected region.

In the older version I was able to position the area and enter now I have some red box and when I hit enter the SC in the system tray remains red.

What am I doing wrong? Would like to use the old version method if possible. This is a great tool, thanks for your help.

mouser:
Hi andrew, welcome to the site.

It sounds like you have enabled the old redbox capture mode for capturing regions.

May I suggest you download the latest beta that I just posted here,
and then go to preferences and find the "Advanced Tweaking -> Selection Capture Options" tab, and at the bottom where it says "When to use Red Box" choose "Objects not Regions".

ps.
I will be moving this post to the Screenshot Captor section of the forum.

andrew.r:
Sorry, but the selected region capture worked the first time after the suggested change but not subsequently.

I see a cross hair that I am able to move around that does not appear to define the area I want to capture and a red box that I don't know what it is for.

I have no idea how to define the area I wish to save and when I just hit enter the SC in the tool bar stays red.

Any help is appreciated, I don't know whether there is something I am doing wrong or something has changed but never had this problem before for years. ScreenShotCaptor is a fantastic tool and I wish it would work for me for selected region capture as it has all along in the past.

See if your settings match this screenshot.
Sometimes the settings change after installing a new version.
"Selection Capture Options"

andrew.r:
I tried to downgrade to 3.04.01 and when I have the settings as above then I get a cross hair that I can move around and a box with a red cross hair moves around. I don't see how I can selected a region and when I hit enter the SC toolbar stays red.

However, with "Objects and Regions" and "Region Mode" selected using ver. 3.04.01 likely same for the latest I have a red square that can be intuitively expanded as necessary and can easily capture a selected area.
