XnView Software

Why is the "active window" option greyed out, and why is the [specific window] option missing, in the capture dialog? These are by far the most useful capture options, and their absence is the biggest barrier preventing me from replacing regular xnview with MP.

I dunno. ...but most probably due of cross-platform issues. On nixes I think that he must 'speak' with X server to get either directly the image either the coordinates of the active window and after that to take a screenshot internally and crop @ coordinates after.

An application with source for "inspiration" is to be found here: http://screengrab.doomer.org/

But the capture engine has also other problems:
