SUGGESTION: Maximum Screen Size

[tomos]

Minor update, same url -- standalone shot window will now auto hide during captures, if option is set to hide main window during capture -- makes it a little easier to keep a small shot window on screen while working.

^ this works well.

A hotkey to toggle window would be great, especially as you say for single monitor setup.

(1) I maximised the standalone window but can't figure out how to re-size it! As it is set to be always on top, I can't see the other programs that are on the same monitor

Hit escape in the maximized mode to make it a resizable window.
I will add F11 shortcut to toggle maximization.
Yeah there is a delay in toggling the window, which seems to have to do with the thumbnail panels being forced to refresh -- i will try to fix that.

Is there a way of moving to next/previous images?
If not, would you consider adding that capability?

I guess it's complicated by the fact the window will show newly created screenshots - then you'd need previous file (according to sort in folder) and previous view (last selected file - i.e. last file shown in viewer).

-------------
Escape to minimise would be nice too
I see escape moves from full screen to 'normal' window,
a second escape (or something else) to minimise would be great all the same...

Hello mouser,

I am working with this mode some weeks now and it really helps me a lot.
Fantastic work (as always).


I suggest the following improvements:
1) implement an hot key for toggling standalone screenshot window (F11 would be really nice)
2) implement a toolbar button to toggle toggling standalone screenshot window

Suggestion 1 is really important, waiting for a small update.

Hello Mouser,

any chance to see the toolbar button and the hot key?

Hello Mouser,

do you plan the toolbar button and the hot key?

Hello Mouser,

it has been a long time when you released a new version of Screenshot Captor.
I really hope the project is still active?

Do you plan the toolbar button and the hot key to toggle the "Maximum Screen Size"?
It is really nerve wrecking when I always have to click "View -> Toggle standalone screenshot window".

SC is still alive and well, new version will be coming out soon!

Can you explain more what you want? I don't quite understand.

Hello Mouser,

I work with two monitors, both have 1920 x 1080 pixels.
When I take screenshot of applications they normally are in full size.
So I have the problem that I can not see the screenshot in full size mode in SC, because here I have the toolbar, the screenshot panel, the tools and the status bar.

Here you added the "View -> Toggle standalone screenshot window" where I see the screenshot in a separate window that I can drag to the second monitor.
Perfect!
I just need a button in the toolbar and a hotkey where I can toggle this view without having to click on the menu and search for this entry.
So just a button in the toolbar and maybe also a hotkey for an existing feature.

Regards

Ah i see, ok well adding an optional toolbar button would be pretty easy.

Hello Mouser,

I found a bug in the current version of Screenshot Captor.
On the left side I have a list of screenshots (option "Screenshot Panel: Simple List on Left").
Here some names are longer than the column width, so I have enlarged the width of the column "Name".

When I click on "View -> Toggle standalone screenshot window", then the screenshot is opened in a separate window.
Here the width of the column "Name" remains as I have set it.
But when I close the separate screenshot window, the width of the column is smaller, so I have to enlarge it manually to see the full screenshot name.

Maybe you can fix this in the next version too.

Regards

OLLI
