cyotek / aeroshot Goto Github PK

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt screen shot via capture screenshot button or Alt+PrintScrn
2. Dialog box pops up stating 'The screenshot taken was blank, it will not be 
saved.'


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

AeroShot v1.3.1, Windows XP Professional (32-bit) SP3


Please provide any additional information below.

I've tried altering the various capture/output settings, but doing so does not 
fix the issue.

I have also tested the program under Windows 7 (64-bit) and under that OS works 
without issue.

Please write a c++ version, not all computers have .netframework.
Thanks

While the Alt+PrintScrn key combination works in most cases, if you are trying 
to capture screenshot showing a window's pop-up menu, then act of pressing the 
Alt key will cause the pop-up menu to disappear.

It would be nice to be able to specify an alternate hot-key combination for 
such instances.

There should be option to minimize window of AeroShot to system tray (the area 
on the taskbar).
It would be useful when somebody uses mainly Win+PrtScr to take screenshots. 
The window of AeroShot will open only after clicking on the tray icon.
Now that window is always visible on the taskbar.

(AeroShot 1.2.1,Win7 x64)

Next two suggestions:
1. Option to place watermark on the screenshot
2. Option to change the Aero background color (like implemented in Shotty, 
http://shotty.devs-on.net , screenshot in the attachments).

It would be nice to have a copy to clipboard option for pasting into e.g. Word.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install DisplayFusion Pro
2. Enable the secondary monitor taskbar
3. Take a screenshot without maximizing the window.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The screenshot should only contains the active window. Right now, a portion of 
the secondary taskbar and the start menu button shows up if the window's border 
is too close to the secondary monitor. (let's say approx. 128 px)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
AeroShot 1.3.2 on Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

Please provide any additional information below.
See the screenshot attached for an example (bottom left corner)

It would be nice if aeroshot could somehow turn of ClearType before taking the 
screenshot.

ClearType improves quality a lot on LCDs but
a) You don't know if someone looking at your screenshot has the same ClearType 
settings, the same physical pixel order or even a LCD at all
b) The size of the screenshot increases since the text isn't actually black on 
white but the pixels have different colors and compress less.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run a program with elevated permissions, i.e. run as administrator.
2. Capture program window with AeroShot.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: screenshot image with transparent background.
Instead: screenshot captured with background.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
AeroShot 1.3.2 on Windows 7 SP1 x64.

Please provide any additional information below.
Current workaround is to run AeroShot with elevated permissions also.

They limit uploads by I.P. so using a permanent API key would be fine. They 
support both JSON and XML responses. 

There could be option to disable window shadow of captured window.

This feature is already implemented in other open source project called 
ZScreen: http://code.google.com/p/zscreen/

1. Open a drop-down menu or a hidden menu with Alt (Explorer.exe, Firefox…). 
Something volatile to losing focus.
2. Try to capture window with AeroShot.
* Using the GUI makes the subject lose focus and hide before the screenshot is 
taken.
* The Alt in Alt-PrintScreen also hides my subjects.

Using AeroShot 1.3.2 on Windows 7 Home Premium.

I would like to be able to shoot these elusive targets and I suspect adding a 
option to delay the actual screenshot from the time of the 
key-press/button-click by a couple of seconds would allow it as follows:

Activate AeroShot -> Open and focus subject -> AeroShot fires

Option to toggle visibility of mouse cursor on the screenshot (when using 
Win+PrtScr) would be nice.
Now when capturing an active window with Win+PrtScr the cursor is not visible.

(AeroShot 1.2.1, Win7 x64)

A couple of ideas for some additional capture modes:

PrintScrn key press - does a standard 'everything' capture, but uses the 
currently focused window for auto-naming/numbering the screenshots (making it 
easy to do bulk PrintScrn captures).

Ctrl+PrintScrn key press - does a 'parent of' capture. Captures the parent 
window of the currently selected window. This would be useful for when want to 
capturing a screenshot of a dialog, but want to show it in the context of the 
parent window.
