Fixed Region Selection Issue
« on: August 02, 2022, 08:47 PM »
Lately, If I try to use the Fixed Region Capture mode, the red box does not appear, and the tray icon turns red until I press escape. I suspect the red box is off screen, but I cannot be sure. Does anyone know if there is a way to find it and bring it onto one of my monitors?

You could edit the ScreenshotCaptor.ini file to delete the stored location, but let me add some code to the new beta that will check and move it on screen if it's off -- i'll post here when a new beta version is up.

Let me ask something -- have you tried turning off Red Box Capture mode for regions (see Selection Capture Options tab); the non-redbox fixed size capture follows the cursor and so shouldn't present this issue.
