Add Border To Image Isn't Adding a Border :o(
« on: January 12, 2017, 04:30 PM »
I've checked "Add border to image" and clicked Apply and Accept, but screenshot images aren't getting a border  :o
What am I doing wrong? :-[

Border gets added with color and size specified in options -- perhaps its adding it but you don't see it?

It's also possible there is some transparency effect?

Did you set the Post capture options to apply it automatically?

Another way to apply the Quick Border would be to use "SpecialFX2/Border around image/Simple border around image - inside", (or -outside)

It may be because you are using the "post capture pop-up dialog" option? If you tell SC to just show it's main window (or hide it's main window) after capture, does that solve the problem?

Aha!
I had "PopUp Choice Dialog" selected, but I've changed it to:

Thanks so much for your patience, much appreciated! :Thmbsup:

That's not your fault -- that should probably be considered a bug that it doesn't apply that when showing the post capture pop-up dialog -- i will fix.

Thanks, Mouser ~
What I didn't tell you is that Screenshot Captor is the utility I use more than any other, there's not a day goes by that I don't use it at least 3 or 4 times, and not uncommonly 10 or 15.

Once again the same problem has recurred — no border — even though I have:
Special Effect Options: Quick Borders > blue > width 3 > simple outside
and
The Basics > Interface Options > Show Main Form

Weird  :o

How many screenshots did you make like that since the computer was last (re)started? Or since SSC was last (re)started? Wichever was the most recent action.

Sorry, Ath, I don't understand your question. I frequently make many screenshots every day, I don't recall what day it was the borders stopped working.
Maybe I'll try re-installing.

I'm trying to determine if you make many screenshots without restarting screenshotcaptor and/or your computer. If so it might be a minor glitch in SSC, not releasing a resource when adding that border, resulting in an internal failure (that is not shown to the end-user) and the auto-added border not working as expected any more.

Does many, in this context, mean tens, hundreds or thousands?

Hi Ath ~
I might make two to three dozen screenshots per day, then on another day only a couple of individual shots.
I've just closed SSC and re-run it, and still no border  :(

Are you using the pop-up post capture dialog?
