Mmhm, including the pointer in a cap (even with a fancy full-service-cap+ wine-app like FSCap) can be tricky in Puppy .. it's all about the difference in how the pointer is drawn and by what, how it relates to the rest of the draw and so on.

Ridiculously easy (and the pointer image shows as expected without any special consideration for mask, etc) with fscap in native win32..

Hi Mick,

I have installed Screeny-0.4 on my Wary desktop, and although it works very well as is, I would like to have your app work with my PrtScr key --like I have been able to do with mtpaintsnapshot. While I am able to configure Screeny to run when using the PrtScr key, it does not capture and save a screenshot, despite appearing to go through the motions of doing so... --and I have no idea why. Confused

It seems to me that once I have set the key binding properly in JWM, it should just work, and therefore no additional lines of code for your scripts are necessary... --any ideas, suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Monsie

Hello Monsie

Sorry for the delay, your post just caught my attention.

I will have a look at your issue and see if it can be resolved in the next version.

Cheers

EDIT: hmmmm... it works fine here. Are you putting this command in /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal?

Hi Mick,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Yes, I did indeed have the key binding set in jwmrc-personal just the way you indicated... so tonight, just for kicks I tried it again, and this time Screeny did "save" the snapshot, but the file showed up in text format... Shocked

So, then I tried to re-boot Wary but was not able to... I kept getting a kernel panic, and no amount of re-booting with the various troubleshooting options would help...

To make a long story short, it appears that my Wary Puppy CD is corrupted. I have been having intermittent problems with booting it since the summer at least... I thought it was because I was running pupmode 13 but as it turns out, now I cannot boot up Wary 5.3 from the CD alone, whereas Puppy 4.3.1 and Wary 5.2.2 work just fine in my latest test, and in fact, I am running Wary 5.2.2 in live mode as I post this...

So, I will have to burn a new copy of Wary 5.3 and once I get Puppy set up again the way I like it, will try this again. If I do happen to have further glitches with setting up Screeny, I'll let you know... but as I suspect, I think the problem (all along) is due to a messed-up CD.

Hi Monsie, thanks for letting me know. Hope you get your installation fixed.

Meanwhile, I have released 0.5. Has some new "features" (erm, which I promised it wouldn't get Rolling Eyes

). Sorry, no cursor feature, too hard basket in the context of the program.

EDIT- 0.6 is out, fixed potential bug with setting an insane delay (not a positive integer), use hard coded 1-10 instead in a combobox

Just an update for the record...

I burned a new copy of Wary 5.3 and so far, so good Very Happy

Luckily, my save file on my usb flash drive seems to be intact, so it did not take long to get up and running again.

Screeny 0.4 is working just fine when configured to run with the keyboard through JWM Smile

so I will have to try the newest version next...

Nice idea L18L

One problem, 2 calls to xwininfo means 2 clicks..

I simplified the original var and separated it,

Hello Mick,
yes my eye sight is poor but my screen is 1920 px wide Very Happy

and I did not think about small screens < 640*480 Rolling Eyes

Anyway attached is v 0.6.5.1exp
It does NOT contain screeny.pot because using Barry´s momanager you do not need it.
German translation in MoManager-de-screeny...

Hi L18L

Works well Smile

. I switched to de_DE.UTF-8 to try it out.

So.. what's the best way to package an NLS file for version 0.7? (considering mo-manager so others can translate).

Once a couple more translations are in I think it's ready to be a replacement for mtpaintsnapshot at the woof level.

Ha.. for a proggy I started touted to have NO features it sure has evolved Laughing

OK, thanks L18L

I have posted 0.7.

NLS only includes /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/screeny.mo (I think that's right Rolling Eyes

) at this stage.

For those who have L18L's 0.6.5.1 version there is no functional difference at all with 0.7 so no need to download it. It's only the version that changed.
