Add Border To Image Isn't Adding a Border :o(

[beau]

I've checked "Add border to image" and clicked Apply and Accept, but screenshot images aren't getting a border 
What am I doing wrong?

[mouser]

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?

[beau]

This is what I've specified, but still no border

[Ath]

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)

[beau]

Yes, that's what I have.

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?

[beau]

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

Thanks so much for your patience, much appreciated!

[mouser]

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.

[mouser]

Awesome

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

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.

[beau]

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.

[Ath]

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?

[beau]

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 

[mouser]

Are you using the pop-up post capture dialog?

[beau]

Aha, that does it, thanks mouser
