Capture extended menu
« on: April 01, 2007, 01:02 AM »
Hello Every body !  ;)
I would like to know if it was possible to capture a multi extended menu... (see Snap shoot menu2.png) ?
I tried with the "Capture specific object" option but it can't take multiples regions...

Is there a tips to do it ?

Thanks

Forgive me for not supplying some answer to your question, but HOW did you make the second shot, menu2.png; what program did you use?

Probably from WinSnap (shareware starting from v2) from version 2 on since it's the only one that I can find that can do extended menu capture with drop shadow feature.  www.ntwind.com

I've tried that one several times because so many spoke well of it, but I have so far dumped it again, because the author has made it both hide and popup on the same button, Escape. Every time I would make Flashnote or several other programs hide, by pressing Esc, WinSnap would popup and say Here I am! Too silly!  :down: Yes, one can disable this feature, but wouldn't it be so more right if the two functions were seperated? I think so. I even wrote the author about it, but was only told not to have Esc as a hotkey for other programs!!!

Curt, reading your post made me chuckle a bit.. :) because i once suggested to the author, Alex, to set the 'Esc' key to either minimize or exit WinSnap.. [HERE]

btw, you can also undo a hotkey this way.. How to undo a hotkey?

P.S. WinSnap is a very good lightweight screen capturing tool but unfortunately has been a shareware since v2 (v1 is still freeware, though)..
