Capture Only Grabs Upper-Left Portion of Screen
« on: February 12, 2021, 08:05 AM »
Tried as many different settings as I could think of in Preferences.

No matter what, only Upper-Left portion of screen gets captured.  Around 70% of the entire screen.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Nicholas Kormanik

This happened to me recently --it was as if SC was being confused by the monitor dimensions.
What mode of capture are you performing that this happens?

Is it possible that this is related to having multiple monitors, and one is set at 125% resolution?

For sure it is related to this problem.
There seem to be two interacting issues/solutions.. So I have a beta that fixes one half of the problem, but then causes another half of a problem to return.
The two problems seem to be related to the program tricking itself about monitor resolutions.  So in the first problem, its not capturing the entire monitor sometimes; and in the second problem its zooming the screen when you do a region capture.

I think I can work on a fix this week and hope to solve this once and for all.

But I'd like to make sure I understand nkormanik's problem -- whether its happening on a normal window or workspace capture, or a selected region drag+capture operation.

Can you try this beta:
Download beta version (4.41.0 BETA) from here (or portable).

Anyone with problems having the screen zoom in when you do a selected-region capture or similar bugs care to try this beta?

I'm presently using only one monitor with my main computer.  UHD.  Windows increases zoom to 125%.  Always capture whole monitor.  (Easier to edit down the capture as wanted with another edit program.)

Interestingly another of mouser's programs "Automatic Screenshotter" works perfectly.  Terrific program.  Takes a pic of entire monitor every so many minutes (seconds, etc.).  Captures are named according to YOUR preferences.  (As with Screenshot Captor.)  That alone is a huge advantage over those capture programs that don't let YOU choose the filenames.

I don't quite understand.  Are you saying the new beta of Screenshot Captor still has a problem? Can you explain the problem more?

I tried the above beta (portable one) on my two monitor setup.  The screens are different sizes, so I tried it with the tops lined up, then the bottoms lined up.  Also tried it with one (then the other) at 125%.  Used "region capture" each time.     I was capturing both monitors each time.   It worked without any problems.  A+

Still the same here.  Only upper-left portion of screen gets captured.

Maybe my settings/preferences are wrong??

Thanks.

I have the 4-41b in daily use.
My UWHD-Screen is captured completely without problems (3440 x 1440) with scale 100%.

WIN 10 64bit 1909

Yes, latest beta.  No luck.

Wonder what it could be.

Your other program, Automatic Screenshotter, takes full desktop/workstation pics.

I've looked and looked through settings, and think all the settings are fine.

Can you try unpacking the portable version in another folder and running that version, just so we can see if a new copy behaves the same?
(make sure normal version is not running).
