PocketScreen 1.3 (10-11-2007)

[Rhapsody]

I was looking for a tool to make screenshots of my phone. But I couldn't find the 'perfect' app for it. So I wrote a tool myself.

It's called PocketScreen. It's been written in VB.NET so you need the .NET Compact Framework for it.

Attached is a screenshot of the application.
You can set a timer from 1 to 60 seconds (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45 or 60 seconds)
Further you can decide to exit or focus the application after capture.

The supported filetypes are *.bmp, *.jpg, *.gif or *.png.

When you press the capture button it will automatically minimize the application.

I've tested this on a Wizard only but it should work on any PocketPC with .NETCF 2.0 installed.

Updates

Version 1.3 (10-11-2007)
Some users who tested the application reported an error when opening the directory browser. I cannot reproduce the error but I tried to 'fix' the error.

- Option focus and exit application after capture changed. Now either focus or exit must be selected to prevent the program to stay minimized in memory.
- Directory browser updated. Root is not shown.
- When an error occures while displaying the directory browser a window will be displayed with the error message. (please report)
- Subdirectories will not appear twice (or more) anymore after expanding/collapsing multiple times.

Version 1.2 (07-11-2007, 20:30)
- Settings will be saved on exit. (and will be loaded on startup, of course)
- It's possible to set the number of captures.


Version 1.1 (06-11-2007, 16:00)
- The default save as dialog has been replaced by a new directory browser. Now it's possible to choose a subdirectory to store the captured screenshot.

Nice one Rhapsody - works nicely and the ability to save to multiple file formats is great.

Apprecaite it :)

[famewolf]

Appears very nice...this could be the new "screen capture" app everyone includes in their roms instead of Pocket screen Capture which will only save to the temp dir and will only save in .bmp

[grypho]

great tool, thank you for developing this useful app.

Works on the AXIM x50v with WM5.0 ROM A03
Thanks:)

[Rhapsody]

Thanks for the comments! Hopefully we'll see some more threads with screenshots over here :P

[Ginex]

In addition it should be great if the application could take a screenshot on a button pressure...

I've been looking to add this functionality, but due time I didn't include this. Maybe I'll include it once. It's a nice feature to keep in mind though!

Rhapsody,

Just figured I'd ask..I'm sure someone will build one if not....do you have an oem package version of the screen capture program for inclusion as a package in a rom? It's basically a zip with the exe and registry entries in a certain format with the executables compressed with upx.

I may try to build one..I'm new to the rom cooking business so usually I just grab ready made packages but if the registry entries are minimal I can probably figure it out.

The application doesn't use any registry at all. So I think the only settings which are stored in the registry are the shortcuts.

Thanx for this great app, just what i needed...Thanx:)

Nice App, trying it on my TyTN II. It works, but some things are not functioning.

(I have it installed on my storage card.)

Changing the location for where to save the image is not sticky. Also, cannot specifiy a directory to save to that is within another directory.

What do you mean with 'sticky' ? The app does not remember the location.

The other issue is strange, because I use the default folder browse dialog...

But thanks for your feedback, I'll try to look at it tonight!

Correct, by Sticky I mean the app does not remember the location.

As for the default folder browser...this is all I get, one directory deep, there is no way to specify a directory within these directories: (see attached image).

Is it possible to take a snapshot every few seconds automatically ?
By this I mean, set the program to take a snap in intervals of my choosing ?

I just finished version 1.1.

Changes:
- New directory browser for saving the captured image in a subdirectory

Todo:
- Interval (thanks for bringing up the ideaa Forcedv!)
- Remember settings like filename, filetype and location)

It seems like there's an error while saving the image on the disk.

I cannot reproduce the IO exception unfortunately.

I've uploaded a new version now which should notify you when something went wrong. (see first post for the download)
Versionnumber is not changed since it's just a very small change in the code.

I'm having the same result, as soon as I click on the "..." browse button I get that exception on my TyTN II(Kaiser)...no other notification that something went wrong.

I had no problem with the previous version of Printscreen, it must have something to do with the new directory browser you are calling.

Ok so the problem occurs when you want to select a directory...

Hmm that's strange. I'm going to investigate it a little bit more. Thanks!

[Rhapsody]

It seems like the error occurs while listing the directories on the Storare Card. I've found some resources on the internet where people are facing the same problem, but no solution... yet.

Are you sure that it's a problem listing directories on the storage card? I thought pressing the "..." button first lets you select the location (device or storage), if I recall how it worked before. I don't even get that far. it errors immediately on pressing the button.

When you press the "..." button, a new form should open containing all the directories in a treeview.
(See the screenshot at the first post)

What I do is retrieving the directories from the root ("/"). Before adding each directory to the treeview I check whether the directory has subdirectories. If so; I add a plus-symbol in front of the directory. ( Subdirectories are added only when the user expands a 'plus'.)

It seems like the error occurs while getting the subdirectories for the storage card. I've found some similar problems on the internet but I'm unable to reproduce the error. Here everything works fine.
Unfortunately I've not found a solution yet.

It's irritating that I can't reproduce the error.

But I've got a possible solution in mind :) Thanks for using/testing :)

[selangkahlagi]

it nice application but it more powerfull if you put capture screen on button too. I tried your software and it work very well on my himalaya

[Rhapsody]

Version 1.3 is 'released' .

First post is updated with the changelog.
I hope this solves the directorybrowser error. (which I can't reproduce at all)

edit:

Hi,

still a bug, this time a different one though. Because it says \Bluetooth,

I have enabled Bluetooth Explorer. There now is a folder \Bluetooth.
When i try to open it with totalcmd i get an "Error 120 changing to dir!"
If i try to open it with the Explorer, it will ask to turn bluetooth on.

Can't read directory

An error occured while trying to read directory '\Bluetooth'

Please report this error to help me improve this software

[adejager1]

When i disable Bluetooth explorer all is OK.

Did little more digging:

On my Storage Card there is a folder \MSMETADATA
If i try to open It with Total Commander i also get an "Error 13 changing to dir!"

looks a lot like the error on the \Bluetooth folder error

This folder (|METADATA) has something to do with Media Player:

[QUOTE:It is your media library index file that is created by Windows Media Player.
Delete the folder and you delete your media library!! :)]

Can this have something to do with the previous error?

Arjan

[adejager1]

I installed pocketscreen 1.2 again but deleted the \MSMETADATA folder and the \WMDRM folders

[QUOTE:
1) MSMETADATA = system folder in ur Storage Card, created by WMP10.
2) WMDRM (Windows Media Digital Rights Management) = some media licensing data both in Main Memory (may be created in Storage Card; likely ur case), which may be used to check for protected media content.
]

Now i had no problems and pocketscreen 1.2 loaded without problems

Hope you can fix this

arjan

[adejager1]

I installed 1.2 again to do some more testing

in MS Media Player i updated my library and after that there was the \MSMETADATA folder again.

but now i could open the folder with totalcmd and also pocketscreen worked.

Hard to reproduce:confused:

maybe my library got corrupted somehow, Don't no because i never use media player. Could be that it was there since WM5 when i just got the phone.

Read about the same error 13 by users experiencing corrupted card problems.

Anyway also 1.2 works for me now.

[Rhapsody]

On my Wizard I tried to save the captured screenshot into:

- \Storage Card\WMDRM\
- \Storage Card\MSMETADATA\

Both captures where succesfull without any errors...

I'm looking at the Bluetooth folder now.
Edit: Ok. I don't have a Bluetooth folder. I'm using Octavoi's ROM. But I understand the reason why it cannot read that particular folder.
The folders mentioned above are still strange. AdeJager1; thanks for testing for now; I'm happy that it works for you now!

[hendrixus]

Hey man, you're moving fast ;)

I just made 2 shots with v1.2 and it worked fine.
With the 3rd shot I got an error, see the screen shot below.I have installed it on a storage card.

Oke I just installed v1.3 and it didn't happen again. Only It won't exit when "exit" is marked.Strange now it did? When "focus" is marked it minimizes and pop-up again when the shot is taken, correct? I haven't got any problems now at this moment. Thanks.

[Rhapsody]

It won't exit when exit is marked? I'm going to look at it as soon as possible. This should not be such a big issue.

So for my understanding 1.3 works perfect except for the 'exit-issue'?

Hello Rhapsody, All is working on my TyTN II. No more crashing, directory comes up nicely (though it does take several seconds). It also does exit properly when set to exit after capture.

Thanks for the updates!

I was playing with pocketscreen to capture a bug in PocketCM when i found yet another little thing.

I wanted to take some screen shots on my storage card and wanted to store them in a temp folder. I forgot to make one and had to create it. Because i can't make a new folder in the directory browser of pocketscreen, i switched to total commander and created it. When i switched back to pocketscreen i noticed the directory structure had doubled. i now had two times the directory listing of my storagecard. two temp folders, to program files etc. I could select the temp folder normally and it captured fine. It just looked like the refresh function wasn't working like it should

I noticed this bug yesterday as well. I fixed it directly. So the 'new' version (I did not change the version since I detected it almost directly after uploading the 1.3) will not have this issue.

The only thing is that the directories are cached for performance reasons. So when you create a new directory while the directory browser is open (and the directory where you want to create the new directory is expanded) the new directory will not show up. Closing the form and pressing the '...' button will show the directory.

I did it a little different reading about the above bug. I created the dir on my storage card first with TC Then I started PocketScreen and browse to the new dir. Took a screen shot it worked.Btw the error as described, double dir I cannot produce.Just tried.

It is already possible to grab screenshots in *.gif format. But Camtasia is not a screenshot-tool. It's is a tool for onscreen recording. I don't think this is something for my tool.

I like PocketScreen. I use it on my TyTN II and it runs fine.

I also tried spb Screenshot (it's smart to look at the competition). What I liked was the possibility to assign a hardware button.

So when the screenshot application is running, only then the hardware button is linked (to take a screenshot). And when you press the linked hardware button, a screenshot is taken.
Can this be implemented in PocketScreen?

With kind regards,
Patrick

[Rhapsody]

I've been looking at this a while ago but I couldn't find the info (some kind of how to achieve this) needed.

But I'll try to figure it out.

[theme freak]

Pocket Screen is the best screen capture software that I ever used in my PPC :)
Hope there will be an upgrade..maybe in speed or in the design :D

I had already removed the SW. Just to be able to check it I've installed it again. The answer is yes: there are 4 files:

Thanks anyway. I know that other people have benefit from this SW. I have to use workaround.

Settings.xml

PocketSettings.exe

PocketSettings.dll

PocketSettings.ico

Thanks anyway. I know that other people have benefit from this SW. I have to use workaround.
very strange... the setup is not modified... maybe you could try to install t again?

I used vSnap before. vSnap compared to PocketScreen is like comparing a stone with a diamond!
Thanks for this lovely app!

Any way this can "capture" screenshots on long press of Windows Key?

Actually, is there any way I can map it to Topaz Keyboard mapper so that I can assign it to long press of Windows Key and Voila...screenshot of whatever I am looking at...using the default settings. Right now it brings up the settings screen and I have to click "capture" and it does the job.

I'm sorry, but no it can't :)

[chikoo]

no sweat....it is still a great app and very usable the way I am using it by remapping the keys.

excuse me, maybe i missed something..

I installed this application.. but now i'm figuring out HOW to make the screenshots???

Apparently i have to press the right key, or key combination.. which key or combination is it?

thanks for hellp

You need to click on the application icon, choose the number of seconds to wait before the capture(default 3) go to the screen that you want to screenshot within the 3 seconds and wait for the capture to happen.

If you want keys mapped (like mine), you need to use the Topaz keyboard mapper to do that.
