Screen Capture Result

[Edilma Howard]

Solast week when I hit the issue, I downgraded to Firefox 115, but unfortunately Firefox did not like that and forced me to create a new profile. So today when I went to go and get proof of the breakage using this new profile on 116, the screen capture is now working.

When I try to insert a screen shot or screen capture into a confluence page and save it, it shows a 'broken link' red image once saved. The method currently used is saving the image to the clipboard as opposed to saving it as a file to the desktop on a Mac, and then pasting it in confluence. Would really like to be able to do this as opposed to saving each screen capture as an image and then dragging and dropping.

Is there a way to automatically take one or a series of screeshots to capture the entire output of a powershell command? It would be nice to be able to see the original command and / or the powershell window.

This New-Screenshot function looks promising but it uses print screen to save the image to the clipboard. Another method looks very promising where they capture ALL the text in the buffer $Host.UI.RawUI.GetBufferContents.

They chose the exact keyboard-shortcut as windows uses for the snipping tool. So all you get when hitting alt+ctrl+s is the snipping tool. Even if you click on the monitor (see my screen shot bottom left) - which is a button within the Evernote task menu helper app - you get the snipping tool and not the capturing tool within Evernote. The last seems weird to me.

It is a bit more complex. Microsoft made a change in Windows 11 a year or so back. At that point regardless of the keystrokes you choose for the Evernote screen clipper it, instead, launches the Windows snipping tool. Apparently Windows 11 captures Evernotes screen clipper.

The only workaround is to use the Windows tool and then paste the captured image into the desired note. I prefer to use Win+Shift+S since that takes me straight to the crosshairs like the Evernote clipper.

Select the Windows snipping tool directory as an Import Folder. Then using the Windows snipping tool with Win+Shift+S will do exactly the same as the Evernote screen clipper. If it helps, most accounts have the screenclips saved in C:\Users\your-windows-username\Pictures\Screenshots

As noted above - I use Win 11; I don't know whether it's widely known, but the Shift+Win+S shortcut that I use allows me to capture an area of the screen into Clipboard - which by definition means that if I have a handy note nearby I can screen grab and immediately paste the image into a note. If only there was a shortcut to open a new note quickly... oh, wait...

The only thing that does work (in my experience) is using Screenshot in the Chrome browser extension, but of course that assumes you have a browser open. In the browser, you can search about temu's shipping time.

I would like to print an image that I have created with MRtrix. However, the resolution of the image seems to depend on the resolution of the screen. Is there a way to create images with higher resolution?

On Linux (which I believe is what you are using), it used to be possible to set a (virtual) resolution that exceeds that of the monitor, resulting in a scrolling desktop. I only have headless Linux machines, so I have no idea if it still works and how it would play with screenshots. @jdtournier: what do you think?

On most Linux Desktop Environments, you can use a combination of a keyboard modifier and mouse click & drag to resize. On my system, I can hold the Win key (between Ctrl & Alt), and left-click & drag to move the window, and right-click & drag to resize. This means I can make the window way larger than the screen, and the screenshot tool still captures the lot.

Hi everyone,

Since the last update of DTTG version 3.6.2, I get a corrupted PNG file when I use the share icon to send a screen capture to my IPAD Pro.

I tried to share with other apps and I have no problem there. I conclude that this must be a problem with the sharing service of DTTG. I tried all the syncing services (Cloudkit, Cloud legacy, and Dropbox) with no results. I still get a corrupted file when syncing with my Mac studio.

Thanks for the report.

There is already an issue on file for this and will be investigated after the first of the year as some of our team is on well-deserved year end holiday. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Thank you for your quick response. I am confident this problem will be resolved in good time. In the meantime, I am saving my screenshots to a folder on my Ipad. Probably not the best interim solution. Perhaps our community can provide a better workaround ?

OK. Not much help can be given, unfortunately, without any technical evidence about the format of the file, how it gets to DEVONthink ToGo, etc. And, as you can no doubt tell from other posts here in this forum, DEVONtechnologies developers are aware of a few issues that they are working on with the editor in DEVONthink ToGo. Good luck.

If you have iAWriter, you could try the same. That would help finding one thing out. I was aware of what is written above. The idea is that if others have related problems, a pattern may arise, that gives us an idea. So far, I thought it had something to do with png files only (screenshots) but (in my case) it may now be something more generally, with sharing. But thanks for offering your help. I reported it as well to DT of course and know that they do a good job. I am patient

A screen capture operation is initiated by a call to NvScrncaptInit(), which creates an instance of NvScrncaptResult and initializes some of its members. The Screen Capture API returns screen images to the application in this buffer. All subsequent calls to the Screen Capture API require an argument that points to the structure.

After a successful return from NvScrncaptInit(), the application may populate userAddress and userDataSize to specify a preallocated, user-supplied screen capture buffer. If the application supplies a screen capture buffer it is responsible for managing the buffer and freeing the buffer when the screen capture operation concludes. If the application does not supply a buffer, the API allocates and manages the buffer itself.

If screen captures are stored in NvScrncaptSurfaceLayout_BlockLinear surface layout format, then applications must call the NvScrncaptGetBlocklinearOffset() function to calculate the byte offset to a pixel.

Call the NvScrncaptCleanup() function to conclude the screen capture operation. This call frees the screen capture buffer created by the NvScrncaptCapture() function and releases control of the kernel screen capture functionality.

An application may allocate and manage its own screen buffer rather than let the Screen Capture API do so. If the application allocates its own buffer, before it calls the NvScrncaptCapture() function, it must store the buffer's address in result->userAddress and its size in result->userDataSize.

The buffer must be large enough to hold all of the screen images to be captured to succeed. A good way to estimate the size required is to perform a screen capture operation in which the API is allowed to manage the buffer and then examine result->stats.memSize before calling the NvScrncaptCleanup() function.

The following sections describe the major data structures and functions in the Screen Capture API, which assume that the API creates and manages the buffer. A sample application is provided as an example of how to use the API.

For an article I was writing I wanted to create a quick screenshot of one of the Rotor screens that Voiceover on macOS shows. I couldn't because when you have VoiceOver active the screenshot shortcuts (cmd + shift + 3/4) no longer work because they're captured by VoiceOver instead. If you also have this problem, you can use the screencapture command line tool.

Screencapture is a command-line interface to all the screenshot and screen capturing tools that are built into macOS, and that will let use screenshot VoiceOver because you can create a screenshot with a delay using the following:

-T is the command line flag to set a timeout, and 10 is the number of seconds it should wait. Lastly, filename.png is what it should save the resulting screenshot as. If you don't want to save, you can replace the filename with -c to copy the result to clipboard instead

Unfortunately I haven't found a way yet to capture just the Rotor as an image, because when you configure screencapture to capture a window instead (with -W) the timeout is discarded. So the above will make a screenshot of your entire desktop, and you'll have to crop it yourself.

If you've been photographing your mac screen to get images of VoiceOver in action, I hope this helps! To get an overview of everything screencapture can do, you can execute screencapture -h to show the help page.

Most similar utilities only capture the screen, and not the audio. I use two other capture utilities (one personal, one for work) and neither of them capture audio. These types of utilities are simply not meant for that. Where Dropbox goes beyond the typical screen capture utility is in its ability to also capture your camera an microphone, so it does capture sound, but not for the items shown on your screen.

Firstly, what you say "Most similar utilities only capture the screen, and not the audio", is not applicable: if they only make screenshots, they are not similar, since Dropbox Capture proclaims that it captures also video.

Again: I can not foresee why someone may be satisfied with capturing only a motion image from a video and no sound; perhaps in that case it may be useful to add also a program with a sign language for the deaf. (without any disrespect for the deaf, of course).

Yeah, this little app looks like a good match for narrating how to do something on a computer. Not to record a screen video including audio. Screenflow is the way to go for that task on the Mac. Nice try, Dropbox. Plus the Screenflow clips are native to your system and editable.
