ScreenCaptor scrolling screenshot

[Sophy]

I just installed this and I can't seem to make heads nor tails of it. Been trying to capture a scrolling screenshot of my start menu and don't appear to even be coming close. Can someone held or direct me to a tutorial? First I getting a box as shown on attached screenshot. Then I couldn't even capture the menu screen anymore.ScreenCaptor scrolling screenshot

hi Sophy,
not sure I've seen that message before. There is a similar one which is a little more specific:

Application being captured: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ATTENTION: A number of methods were attempted to scroll the contents of the target window, but nothing worked.

Sometimes when this happens it simply means you have to first click inside the actual content area of the window to be captured.

You could try clicking inside the target window where the content is, and then click the "Re-test" button; or choose manual scroll method below.

Alternatively, if you selected a full application window, click the "Back" button and re-select a more specific scrollable content area.

sometimes, if you click in the scrolling window, and have another go it will work.

btw, which OS is that?
Is that horizontal scrolling that is required?
(On windows 7 here atm, there's nothing to scroll in the Start Menu so I cannot test.)

I had such a heck of a time with this program I uninstalled it. I had a screen capture in the window and was trying the various tools, like hi lite, arrows. I could not figure out how to get rid of it when I was done. Tried everything. Saved it to my desktop and then deleted it. Deleted it from over at the side where the shots appear. Then I kept getting error windows. So finally just gave up and uninstalled it.

If you are having problems and can't work out how to do it, you should post in This Section - doing so will give you a bigger chance of receiving help using Screenshot Captor because it is the primary area for it

Failing that, you could always E-Mail mouser (The owner of DonationCoder.com and also the Developer of creenshot Captor) - You could also send him a private message via the forum..  We also have a Live Chat room where he can be found most of the time under the nickname "mouser".

There is also an extensive help file available for Screenshot Captor and dozens of screencasts which provide huge amounts of help.

I know you've uninstalled it, but as you say, you can delete by focusing the file thumbnail on the left and using the delete key.
Delete screenshot is in the menu under 'File', and also there is a delete icon in the toolbar.

@mouser, is there a reason the delete key doesnt work when the image has focus in the main pane?

it deletes any selected object(s) you've added to the image.

most logical would be if it just kept going and offered to delete the screenshot once all objects are gone (naturally requiring confirmation).
I realise this may not be feasible, but think it would be the ideal.

EDIT// of course now I've posted I see it is complicated by the fact that there may be undeleted and unselected objects -- okay, forget that idea !
