Screen Capture

Post by josedumoretzsohn »

XNview MP's (Screen) Capture dialog should contain, like in XNview Classic, a field indicating a folder where to automatically save the captures, so that, if we want to keep them, we do not have to save them one by one. Thank you. Attached a photo of XNview Classic Capture dialog.

I think that a more general „Destination:” would be much better:

(x) Open in editor.
( ) Save to folder [______________________] [...]
( ) Open in draw module

The last one will open the image in editor and after this will open the draw module immediately.

Also, add an optional checkbox saying:

[ ] Bring XnView in front.

Of course, we're missing the OBVIOUS:

Another option in „Destination”:
( ) Put into clipboard

It is missing!!

Thanks for the help, guys. Now I guess I'm about to replace the recorder with another app. Actually, I have an inbuilt recorder as I use Windows 10, but it doesn't have enough functions I'd like it to have. I guess I'll try Movavi Recorder. Here's the link for it https://www.movavi.com/support/how-to/how-to-do-screen-capture-in-windows10.html. Actually, I've already tried it, and the free version is enough for me. Maybe I'll consider buying a premium movavi, but I'm not sure yet. Anyway, I love the features it has. Now I can really enjoy editing my youtube videos. But I guess I'll still use XnView for my photos. That's how it works for me. I hope I've helped you.

Bug!

If we choose ( ) „Save in folder” then the file is saved as (for example)

20220818_1334jpg

but it should be saved as (in the same example):

20220818_1334.jpg

You forgot a dot! :-) ...for the extension.

The „dot problem” is fixed, but „Save to file” has a BIG problem: If we make screenshots quick enough - faster than one second, I think - (for example if we save various rectangles from the screen) then the output files get overwritten because of the same filename, most probably.

Please add a counter at each file name which at the begining of the program will be 1 and it will be incremented at each Screen Capture file save.

...also if we are here, besides
( ) Open in Editor
( ) Save to folder
( ) Open in draw

please add:

( ) Do nothing

Yes!! :-)

Because sometimes we need just to copy the image to clipboard. :-D
