Setting Options
« on: May 19, 2016, 12:34 AM »
Two settings that I have not been able to find since I moved to 4.9.1.
1. After capturing then printing or copying the screenshot to the clipboard, I would like Screenshot Captor to minimize to tray automatically, the dialog box currently remains visible.
2. Previously I was able to click on the tray icon to start a screen capture, is this still possible, cannot find the option for that.
Thanks

You can right click on the system tray icon and choose a capture from the menu that is shown.

It seemed in an earlier version of Screen Captor, I could left mouse click on the tray icon and it would activate a pre determined capture option, for example "select a region".

Ah I know what setting you are talking about:
[attachment 1 not found]

i'll chance asking :-[
any chance you could add in 'Restore main window' there -- or is that difficult to do?
I see right-clicking tray icon shows 'Hide main window' if the main window is open.

I do note that all in that drop-down list are capture options, so can understand if you dont want to go there...
