[mchapman007]

Very nice work! If I hadn't paid for Pocket Controller - Pro, I would give this a go. ;)

[PhilD41]

Your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you XDA.:D

Works great on my P4300 (Wizard) with WM6.1 The only thing it is missing is support for storage cards. I can select where I save the files, but all options are on the device. I am a Linux user so this requires an extra step to copy them to the SD card so I can mount it and pull them off. Other than that, it is a great app!

[DJayRage]

Looks great, but do I need to extract this zip file from a PC? When I try & unzip it from my Tilt (using Resco File Explore '07) it says "Nothing to extract. Selection does not contain any files".

Thanks.

I used built-in compression in Vista to create the zip so maybe that is the problem. You can unzip on the PC and copy to your Tilt.

Thanks for trying it.

Thanks for giving it a try. I am working on adding the storage cards to the folder browse. Coming soon. I will update the first post when I have a new version.

[oldsap]

anything for smartphones?

[Moe5508]

Very nice - great job!

[sahoopes]

@ oldsap
I cannot use a listbox on smartphones so not sure how I would implement the task list option. However, I would be glad to do a smartphone version if there is enough people that would use it.

@ Moe5508
Thanks for the kind words.

@ All
I'll have a new version next week that includes Storage cards for the Save folder. In the meantime, note that the box that has the Save folder is open to typing also. You can type a path there without using the browse feature. That should be a temporary fix to allow you to save your captures anywhere on the device.

Post #1 is updated with a new version that supports Storage Cards. I had to do this by brute force. My library woudl only return network folders so to get a storage card to appear in the folder browse it must have a name that starts with Storage Card. That should be the default anyway.

Hope it works for you.

[PhilD41]

Just tested it out and it works GREAT!! Thanks again for a wonderful app!!

Wow!!! This is GREEEEEAAAAAT without any BUTs!

For whom who is not fimiliar with linking applications to the program list, here is the cab^^"

[sahoopes]

@all
Thanks for testing. I really want CapSure to be the best screen capture so I'll keep improving as long as there is interest. Everyone has been so great to test my app and the kind words are greatly appreciated. I've finally been able to give back to the community and I'm proud of the results.

@iiiox
Can't thank you enough for creating the cab. You're awesome.

[tramane]

I have one problem
It never shows up in the recently used programs list
I like to get to the screen i want
then use my start menu drop down and hit it from recently used proggys
But Capsure doesnt show up

Not sure why it doesn't appear as recently used but can you just add it as one of the items that always appears in the menu?

[Rhapsody]

Not sure why it doesn't appear as recently used but can you just add it as one of the items that always appears in the menu?It does not appear inthe startmenu because it's not installed :-)

Nice tool; though I have to say that I like my PocketScreen more :P Keep up the good work.

[ultravox]

Thx for the app.
I works OK in my Universal, but settings page is not prepared for VGA screen :(.

[maevro]

Nice, thanks for this. Works nicely on my Atom Life and I came here tonite specifically looking for a good screen capture app.

[sahoopes]

I guess I should ask then what everyone's preference is. As a user I have no preference whether I get a CAB or just a ZIP of files thatI can put anywhere I like. Either way it is easy for me to unload an app I don't like because in the case of a ZIP I just delete the folder and it's gone.

I can make a proper CAB installation. Would that be the preference of everyone here?

[phonuzer]

anything for smartphones?Look for Resco's Photo Viewer; it comes with a nice screen capture app (separate icon will install in start menu).

Good Luck

[sahoopes]

Thx for the app.

ultravox: Can I get a screen shot? I think I can fix the layout but I have no VGA device to test with.

I guess some were missing the CAB posted by iiiox so I put a CAB in the first post to help with that.

[sahoopes]

I've ported CapSure to smartphone and am in the process of testing. We should have a SmartPhone version this week.:cool:

[osirisHTC]

works well on my HTC TyTN II.

[sahoopes]

@Smartphone users

I'm sorry to report that one of the unique features of CapSure would not be available on a Smartphone version. CapSure offers a list of running programs that allows you to specifically select the app to capture. As it stands right now, the library I use to access running apps and bring them to the front for capture will not behave on the Smartphone.

There are many screen capture programs available. So the question is if you could not have the ability to select an app to capture, would you still want a Smartphone version of CapSure?

If there is interest I will proceed with completing the Smartphone version.

[luvmygadgets]

I just installed it onto my AT&T Tilt, and it works like a charm! Thanks!

If there is interest I will proceed with completing the Smartphone version.

Wouldn't they still be able to use CapSure in "quick" and "silent" mode, with a key mapping, whilst on the screen in question?

I'd push forward, but make Smartphone users aware of this current niggle, and the current workaround, until a more elegant solution is available.

After your reminders I find CapSure to be a stellar capture utility. I'm actually quite pleased that after less than two weeks of my first time owning a PPC that I've located a freeware, relatively fast, screen capture utility with very concise and useful amenities.

See ya'.

[sahoopes]

That's one very good vote for a SmartPhone version.

@FreeMobility
Thanks for the kind words. Glad it's working well for you.

Couple possibilities:
1) Some devices do nto support certain files types. Which file format have you selected in Settings? Please try JPG. However, the program was written and tested on my Kaiser and I'm able to use all three file types.

2) You do not have the required .NET version. Please see post #1 for requirements.

This is the best I can do without more information, i.e the rest of the error message.

[sahoopes]

Version 1.05 now available in Post #1. Minor improvements in speed, EXE size, and folder selection.

[tazma]

thanks for such a useful and user friendly s/w !!!!!!

[sahoopes]

I know XDA posters sometimes have to edit their screen shots before uploading. Sometimes to add captions. And many times to hide sensitive information on their screens such as phone numbers or appointment text.

CapSure has been updated to include a small image editor that addresses these issues. Now you can select any rectangle on the image and obscure the information in that rectangle. You can also add custom captions to your screen shots.

A screen shot taken with CapSure will be ready for upload right from the device. :cool:

VGA device users: I have tried to add support for VGA devices but I do not have a device for testing. Please test.

[lbendlin]

Let me know if you want some help to create a native version that can be much smaller, faster, and runs on more devices (including smartphones and Windows CE) without the need for the .NOT CF

See my versions of ScreenShotCE and ScreenShotSP.

[FreeMobility]

I realize this wasn't necessarily addressed to me, but I'd be greatly interested in hearing your programmatical approach to Mobile applications development.

I for one would love to abandon .NET in lieu of something cleaner -- a C application perhaps?

Thanks!

[Menneisyys]

Great news, will try to include it in my Screenshot Bible and post a story on it

[lbendlin]

@FreeMobility: send me a PM if you are truly interested.

Hi, am having a bit of a problem. After installing the CAB, I restart my Dopod 818pro running WM5. Hit CapSure v1.07, but get a message saying "Basic4ppc. Error loading program. PlatformNotSupportedExecption"

Any ideas?

[thierryb]

I have tried your software with my xda flame (vga, wm05).
Capturing works.
But display of options {settings, browser) does not support well vga (see screen captures below).
I get an error when browsing some files (see capture).
Obscure option obscures what I select, but unfortunately also crop my capture to the selection.
(Sorry I was obliged to zip my captures because the site found them to big)

I don't have a quick answer but I am researching for you. In the meantime make sure you have .NET CF 2.0.

I'll get back with a description of the error soon.

Thank you thierryb for testing and reporting on my recent VGA attempts. I will try to address those this weekend.

As for the memory error, I may or may not be able to fix that. I will try. But I will in the least make the program more gracefully handle the error.

I can tell you investeds a lot of time reporting these bugs. I'm very appreciative because you and the others are helping improve CapSure.

Thanks.:)

[aleadam]

Just to confirm thierryb's findings on an eten x800 (vga screen), both in portrait and landscape modes.
But the screenshots I took were great!
I also like all the options it has.

Thanks for the app. :)

@ahpeng73

According to the forum posts for Basic4PPC, these are the suggestions for you:

Again, verify that you have .NETCF 2.0.
Some users have reported that reinstalling .NETCF 2.0 also helps. Make sure you soft reset after the reinstal of .NETCF.

If the above does not work then it sounds like there is a problem with the regional settings. They believe that setting the regional settings to United States fixes this error also. I understand that is not an option for many non-US users.

[sahoopes]

@all VGA users

New version uploaded to post #1. Hope this fixes the layout on VGA devices.

[thierryb]

Not really solved the option and about screens

[sahoopes]

Apologies. I moved too fast on that last update. It's really tough not having a VGA device here to test with. I hope we're a little closer with this version. 1.07b is uploaded to post #1.

[sahoopes]

A new setting has been added. You can now format the file name used to save your screen images. Many formats are supported including dates, times, version, and counter.

Version 1.08 has been uploaded to post #1.

Enjoy!:D

[thierryb]

Version 1.08 does not start. Please find the error messages I get:

Le fichier ou l'assembly nommé 'FormLib, Version=1.0.2860.34358, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' ou l'une de ses dépendances, est introuvable.

[thierryb]

Moreover, when I upgrade the software, the process do not ask me to remove the previous version. So I need to remove it manually before the installation of the new release.

Version 1.08 does not start. Please find the error messages I get:

Thanks.
I have a feature request, and I am not sure how easy or hard it would be. Can you make another improvement to the obscure? I'd like to blend text together, to make it un-readable. Is that possible to implement?
Thanks.
PS, and reason why the format .PNG is not supported?

I may add a couple different version of obscure in a future release.

Any more votes for PNG? I can probably get it in if needed.

QVGA CAB uploaded to post #1. I have no way of testing. I hope it works for you.

[smuook]

Wow... very impressive. Daddy likes... :p

Here's a thought (recommendation)

I may be in the minority here, but I actually use the system tray on the today screen as a quick launcher. My soft keys are hidden. I attached an image of my today screen that I took with your app :D. Anywho, my thought was to have an option to have an icon in the system tray that will automatically take a screen shot if you click the sys tray icon... after an adjustable time delay. This would be handy for me.

Otherwise, definitely the best screen capture tool I've used. Great work.

[badaas]

I am a Linux user so this requires an extra step to copy them to the SD card so I can mount it and pull them off. Other than that, it is a great app!

can u sync your linux os to HTC phone by plugging usb in and it recgnises it? i never been able to do this, does it involve formatting SD?

Thanks for the great comments.

I am not oppsed to a tray icon that activates the capture but have you tried the command line functions of CapSure? It allows you to take a screen shot from a shortcut. Using this would basically do what you are asking without taking up and screen space with an icon.

I am uploading a shortcut you can place on your phone that will do it.

If you place this icon in the \windows\start menu folder then it will be in your start menu. Or you could even map a hardware button to the link to accomplish the same thing.

Rename the attachment to capsure.lnk and copy to your phone.

[EnsconcE]

I would love this app if it was working :p. I get an error on capture:

An error occurred on sub_docapture

CapSure runs, but the error happens when CapSure (supposedly) should capture my screen, after pressing CapSure Now. I do not know what information to give, so if you need any, please ask.

[sahoopes]

The folder CapSure has defined as its capture destination does not exist.
Thanks FreeMobility for the quick answer. I will also take care of this situation in the upcoming version per my PM to you.

[FreeMobility]

Cool. To be honest, that error only became annoying when I used a Centron 2GB microSD that was corrupted apparently.

My capture folder disappeared and CapSure starts yelling at me. LOL.

Sure would have been nice had it yelled at me about the PIM backups that were disappearing. ;)

[sahoopes]

Sorry to hear about the backups. Still, it's best that CapSure check for the folder prior to saving the image and gracefully handle any problem.

[sahoopes]

@all:

Command Line Options:

1) shoot - this tells CapSure to take shot(s) using your preconfigured settings. Would work the same as clicking CapSure Now in the program.

2) quick - this tells CapSure to just take one shot of the current screen. The only settings it uses for this is image type, save folder, and file name settings. This setting ignores Timed Capture, Repeat Capture, and Application settings.

3) silent - this is optional but only works when used in conjunction with option 1 or 2 above. This tells CapSure to do either a quick or shoot and then close without displaying the program. Using silent gets you a saved screen shot and CapSure exits from memory.


@FreeMobility: Using silent by itself will not produce any capture. It must be used in combination with one of the other options. You were correct that the command line options were ignoring the file name settings. This is fixed and I am moving on to the other problem posted above. New version coming very soon.

[sahoopes]

Been fighting with the VGA support since inception. This version is another attempt. The one CAB uploaded to Post #1 should support both QVGA and VGA. I have no VGA device to test it with.

Also, it gracefully handles access problems for folders in the browse and Save To. And I've improved the Blur and Emboss obscures.

[sahoopes]

Forgot to mention that version 1.11 also fixes the command line problems discovered by FreeMobility.

[robpet2]

good work... will give this a run... been using spb screenshot for a while

[FreeMobility]

good work... will give this a run... been using spb screenshot for a while

Set up your naming scheme, intervals, and even customize what it shoots when you run it via the main interface or even a shortcut.

I currently have it mapped to my camera button with a format of 20080627_062400.jpg capturing the entire screen I see at the moment.

With "silent quick" like ninja -- I see the Windows globe spin a couple of times and then I go about my business knowing my screen shot is nestled safely with its siblings.

Super simple, super easy, super good. 3 supers can't be wrong.

[Menneisyys]

Pretty nice. HOWEVER,

1. on the VGA iPAQ 210 (with built-in CF2.0), it only takes QVGA shots (tested with both JPG and PNG output on both OS and GAPI game screens).

2. it could be very easily made MS Smartphone-compliant. Any plans on this?

3. Wasnt able to save anything on my WM2003 iPAQ 2210 (played with both the target directory name and the format), using the latest CF2 SP.

[sahoopes]

@nihil0
I tried to create one install that covers QVGA and VGA devices. The way it handles double-pixeling on VGA devices requires .NETCF 2. Guess we're back to 2 CAB files. I'll fix this soon.

@FreeMobility
Thanks for the help and for the great comments.

@rorydaredkign
a bit stupid
So glad you stopped by to offer your input. Very helpful. Maybe you'd like PocketScreen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328627).

That's been covered in this thread. There was no interest. "Very Easily" - I don't think so.

Nice screen shots! May I ask where did you get that Google Map (Traditional Chinese) application? I would appreciate it very much & thanks in advance!

Mine is Chinese version too, just download from google.
I just want to know how to get the English version :p

BTW, which version of ROM are u using?

BTW, which version of ROM are u using?

I'm currently using 1.37.832.4 CHT (Traditional Chinese), official released HK_ROM, but my Diamond originally was English, but the version was 1.34 which wasn't enough for me.

I also went to Google but couldn't find that map application, could you please let me know the download link? Thanks!:p

[lwclam]

I download it frm http://www.goggle.com/m/products in PIE

[fraudulent]

Works fine on my HTC Diamond.

[fredcatsmommy]

very nice app but I too ran into the .net problem since I have 3.5. I don't know how these things work so I don't know if it's possible to make the app compatible with the latter version of .net.

***** edited --- don't know what's changed but it's now working, whereas it wouldn't the other day. Very cool.

[Batistian]

Command line options (separated by spaces)
quick - take one capture
shoot - run captures according to above settings
silent - in combination with one of the above closes app after capture(s)
Example: Capture the screen without showing the CapSure window.
CapSure.exe silent quick

Just one question.

How do I use the command line options?:confused:
I can't find it.:o

Thanks

[Batistian]

I currently have it mapped to my camera button with a format of 20080627_062400.jpg capturing the entire screen I see at the moment.

With "silent quick" like ninja -- I see the Windows globe spin a couple of times and then I go about my business knowing my screen shot is nestled safely with its siblings.

Hi FreeMobility,

Can you tell me how did you mapped it to your camera button?
And where to add the "silent quick" command?

Thanks

[sahoopes]

Just one question.

How do I use the command line options?:confused:
I can't find it.:o

Thanks

I use a file manager like Total Commander to create a short cut with the command line parameters of my choosing. After you have a shortcut created then you can map that shortcut to any button.

[Batistian]

Thanks sahoopes,

It works very well on Omnia.:D
The "Ninja" thing works too.

Thanks a Million.

I don't know why the Diamond users are reporting that the program works fine on their devices. On the HTC Touch Pro it should be the same, but here it doesn't work correctly. The screenshots taken with the program are OK, but the settings dialog isn't shown correctly. I've attached some pics to show you what I mean.
It would be nice if this could be fixed because this is really a nice tool.

[Mattster_spv]

Thanks for this application. Seems to work fine on my Trinity.

In settings, I can't seem to specify exactly where in SD to save my shots, maybe I am mistaken?

The settings window looks OK now. Just the first 2 help windows and the browse window are cut a little bit at the bottom.
And there are some more things cut at the bottom:
- The main screen. The picture is cut a little bit and there is no info line below it.
- The browser. The list is cut and there is no date info in the lower right part of the window.
- The edit and about windows are also cut at the bottom.

And it would be nice if the file extension of the screenshots would be lower case.

Broke down and installed the device emulator so I could test and debug VGA support. I think I have it now. Please give it a try. New version 1.11b is in post #1.

Thanks for all your help.

[frmariam]

I noticed it doesn't seem to support unicode... Or has some issues

My WM 6.1 system is in Portuguese and some dirs are translated:
"My Memory"->"A minha memória"
"Memory Card"->"Cartão de Memória"

In capsure menu those "starnge chars" like ó and ã display as an odd symbol (when selecting the save folder) and if any folder with those is selected the app just crashes...

Also any chance to add the actual screenshot capture funtion to a hardware button? Didn't notice it in the menu and since it crashed I couldn't test it...

Strings in the app should be UTF-8. I will check into why it is not working for you.

I won't add a hardware button option because you can create shortcuts with certain command line options and assign those to a hardware key. Next CAB will install those shortcut files automatically.

The screens posted show fine on my HTC Touch Diamond. The only problem I'm having is that the Windows waiting symbol stays on sometimes while it takes the shot. I have the app set to take photo when holding the send key. This is by far the best screen capture utility I have used so far.

I haven't posted screens of the settings because it won't take the picture using the hardware key and I'm too lazy to set it to wait :P

How are you using the send key? Mapped to a link that has a CapSure command line? If so, what options are on the command line?

I created a copy of the lnk file in Start Menu and edited the shortcut. I have attached the shortcut. I then used Schaps Advanced Config to map the key to the shortcut. That was the easiest way to do it that I could think of but I will be looking for the regkey to use command line rather than shortcut as I now have an extra shortcut in start menu that has to stay there. The shortcut has the following target:

"\Program Files\CapSure\capsure.exe" silent quick

I've checked with a couple of other programmers, one that lives in Portugal. They could not find anything in the code that would cause this problem. I'm using .NET CF which is UTF-8 so the conclusion I got from them was:

One problem than can make this to happen is the user to have a "non-oficial" ROM, with some text stuff mixed....
I gave up on My Oficial Portuguese ROM as it had a lot of small bugs, some of them text characters related...

I now have an English ROM, and even if I use Portuguese accented strings, I have no problem with none of my apps..

Added Command Line Help
Added Preconfigured short cuts to CAB install

Newest version in Post #1.

[sahoopes]

Thank you Avian Waves

[at45]

There's no _setup.xml in the cab file. Could you please tell us what files and registry entries the program makes? I installed it on my X1 just now anyway, but haven't figured it out yet. Seems complicated for a screenshot utility, but promising. I'll be mapping the command line to "shoot" in Voice Command.

Cheers

[peterbonge]

@at45: _setup.xml is not needed for PPC CAB files. You can use this tool to analyze all types of CAB files:
http://codeppc.com/telechargements/msceinf/msceinf.htm

@sahoopes: Some minor issues:

1. The preconfigured shortcuts are working only with english OS version. You should better let the CAB file create these shortcuts.

2. It's a little bit irritating that you have to click on the red X to close the big help window. Maybe because it looks like a normal window with a blue background. If you click on OK you are closing the program completely.
Maybe you should better make it like the about window.

3. For the examples in the help file you better should use something like:
capsure.exe quick

4. The "Silent" chapter in the help file contains some typos:
"The silen command..."
"If silen is used..."

[sahoopes]

I have tried to make this work but can't seem to get it. When I add any of these command lines to a shortcut in the inf file (that is used by CabWiz) I get an error. I googled and I cannot find a way to add a command line parameter to the shortcuts installed by a CAB.

Can anyone explain how to do this?

This is my INF that produces the error:
[Shortcuts]
CapSure,0,capsure.exe,%CE11%
Shoot,0,capsure.exe shoot,%CE1%\%AppName%

I know CabWiz will not create a shortcut for a file not listed in the CopyFiles section of the INF. It thinks "capsure.exe shoot" is the name of the file.

Sorry for answering so late...

Looks good so far. Thanks for the update!

Now to the shortcut problem:
I've googled a lot and analyzed a lot of CABs. It seems that other CABs are using an extra DLL to execute commands after installing the program. I've found some info here:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/setupdll.aspx

But there are always other ways/workarounds:

1. You can add an option to the program to create these special shortcuts. Dotfred is using this variant for his Task Manager:
http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm

2. You can remove these shortcuts completely and offer separate ZIP files with these shortcuts. One ZIP file per language. We could help you with this.

I think I like option 1. Drawback is that they would not be removed in an uninstall.

I think this could be easily added to the program to click a button or menu and have these shortcuts created. Question: I think these shortcuts should reaide in the applications folder. Or should they go into the Start Menu?

[peterbonge]

...

I would prefer the start menu because that's THE place for shortcuts :)

I'm thinking of a sub menu within the options menu (maybe "Create Shortcuts"). In this sub menu there should be entries for every command combination. Please don't add an option to create all shortcuts at once.

An alternative: You could add a right softkey menu for this at the help window.

I'm using v1.11f on my 8525 running WM 6.1 and it runs perfectly. It's great to finally have a screen capture program that allows me to not only chhose what format I want the picture, but where to store it and have the size be small enough to immediately upload to xds-devs.

Thank you.

First, in CapSure, select the Options menu, then choose Help.
From Help, select the ShortCuts menu and select which shortcut(s) you want to map a button to. Read the help to decide which one you want.

After creating the shortcut(s), go to start menu, settings, personal, buttons. Select which button to map and then choose the shortcut from the drop down list.

Great, that did the trick.

Just one more question though:
I had created multiple shortcuts for individual options (i.e. 3 Shoot options). Therefore I was wondering, is there is any way to delete the shortcuts I am not using?

The image below shows what I mean.

is there no way to send a picture while viewing in program via picturemail or email ?

i would like to view the picture in browser then send right from program... possible?

It might be because it's late... or lack of coffee... but how do I use the capsure software? I checked the help, but I'm not sure how to create or use the shortcuts. Thanks and sorry about the basic question.

[striimii]

UPD: Problem solved. Thanks! :)

[smotrs]

Anyway to add a camera click sound or some sort of visual flash of the screen to indicate the screen was captured, like screen capture in GIMP or Photoshop? I setup a sequence to take 4 shots every 3 seconds just to see how it works. I ended up with 4 shots of the same thing because I didn't know it was taking the screen captures.

Anyway, cool bit of software.

spb screenshot has a cool effect.. flashes screen to negative effect real quick... so u know the capture went through

[iTouch24]

OK. Click sound coming in next release.

any thought on being able to send your capture screen from application?... pick the picture in browser then pick either picmail or email and it will then send you to your requested application to send the picture off...possible?

No. The overhead needed to add this is more than the convenience of starting a messaging application for you.

As far as the sound: I will add a setting to play a wav on screen capture. I include a couple sounds but the program will allow you to attach any wav file to the event so you can make/use your own sounds.

[iTouch24]

ok understood... thanks

[sahoopes]

Added sound options today. 4 wav files are included with install but you can choose others.

If you make a wav file, please share it in this thread.

By default, when you launch the software it will display the last capture that took place. A white screen just means there are no previous captures to display. If you had done a capture before, it would show the last capture that was done. Look below the white square on the left is Capture Now and on the right is Options.

Pressing Capture Now will take a screen shot of whatever screen is below the program. Probably the Programs Directory where you launched Capture from. Pressing Options will allow you to browse to a directory where captures exist, edit a capture, configure how you want to perform the capture as well as where you want to store them and the format of the files (under Settings).

Errr.. sorry if im stupid but im still confused.

First, can capsure capture the still image of video playback?
Second, How? can u please explain in step by step.
Third, is there any alternative app that can capture a still image from video playback?

I found the capture part is really hard and un-userfriendly. I understand that capsure will capture whatever screen below it but how can i launch capsure from the unlaunchable area?(such as in album player or any other area where i cant access the windows menu in order to launch capsure)

Sumbody post a guide "Capsure from dummies" please.

[mr-free]

wow very nice thanks

[rocho]

could it do a screen capture with a hardware button??? like PTT??

[sahoopes]

could it do a screen capture with a hardware button??? like PTT??
yes. choose help from the menu. it describes the possible shortcuts to use. use the program to create the shortcut and then use settings on your phone to assign the button to the shortcut.

[rocho]

worked fine, but i had to create shortcut myself, CapSure didn't create it somehow..
nice work!

[wanwarlock]

this is working excellent on my touchpro. i made a small mistake of changing the timer to 10secs, but my program did not run before that! so changed back to default 15secs...

thanks for this wonderful app

[doministry]

Hi.

Firstly thanks for the app!!

Secondly I wonder how to make it work efficiently...
So I usually use this kind of app for GoogleMaps for abroad travels.

What I had in the past (UIQ platform) was utility where I was taking a shot whenever I wanted just pressing a little square displayed onscreen. That was convinient...

Anyway I set CapSure it to shot 10 times for each 30 seconds but apparently I saw no onscreen notification for that - should it be there?? And the phone slooooowend down miserably - should it be like that?
But I apparently also switched orientation so I shouldn't be doing that??

EDIT:
When I set it to shoot a series of captures and hit "CapSure Now" the app is not present on TaskManager. Cannot be stopped than and while it's shooting you cannot enter the app either.
It's a pity the app does not show the capture while taken, it would let it do more things.
I assume it's done by sound but it cannot be done in silent mode than.

I use SE X1.

[doministry]

Ok, I think it's fine just setting this in the popup Menu and just make it shoot each time.
Anyway thanks again!

[Jjjasjar]

The wait cursor appears every once in a while if you launch the app from the shortcut (quick, shoot etc.) from the start menu and takes a screen shot. If you launch the actual program and take a screen shot no wait cursor is visible and works like a charm.

One more issue is that if you launch the program in lanDscape mode and when you tap the settings tab, can there be a scroll bar on the right side so that you can scroll down and adjust or view the settings.


Everything is running smoothly on my vga device. Thank you much sir.

[wanwarlock]

i wanted to take a screen capture of a full screen movie on wmp mobile. capsure ran ok, on the thumbnail it did show the correct screen, but when i transfer to pc, it shows a blank screen. i thought because it was because of the movie being played. got out of fullscreen but still the same problem. this time, it shows wmp mobile window ok, but the movie screen was black - even when i paused the movie.

thumbnail shows the screens fine, but on transfer to pc, the pic goes black.

no other problems with other usage.

anybody had this before? is there a fix?

thanks

[kiesha]

Hi.

I uninstalled this program however it still shows in the programs list and in remove programs list (this is where I initially removed the app). If I try to open the app it will not open so I thought to reinstall and the install was unsuccessful. I attempted to remove it again w/o any luck. Any idea what I can do to remove this?

edit: it's now removed from the program list but still in the remove programs list.

[justDave]

The wait cursor appears every once in a while if you launch the app from the shortcut (quick, shoot etc.)...
Yes, I'm seeing the wait cursor in just about every shot.

Edit: I switched from "quick" to "shoot" and set "timed capture in 1 secs" and I haven't seen the wait cursor since.

Good work!
Is it possible... to add a ScreenCorder function, like record a mp4 file?
Forgive my imagination.

Thanks.

Cool app mate, great for taking pictures of ROMS I'm cooking :)

[addicus]

this app is great! you should submit it on CRC's device update because this is the only one that takes pictures that can be immediately uploaded to xda-devs!

Uzipped the file and ended up with a bunch of other files.
No readme for installation nothing... !
Just how is this program installed on a WM6 device ?
Thanks

Just copy the .cab file to your device and run it. It should ask where to install and thats it.

Just how does one install this program ?

The file unzipped inot several files with extension .001 .002 etc
A readme.txt explaining how to install would be helpful.

thanks

Can't you read? Your question was already answered! Don't try to unzip the CAB file. Copy it to the device and run it (-> try to open it on the device with the file explorer). Then the installation process will start.

It seems that you have to learn a lot of Windows Mobile basics...

Its a fantastic program mate! I hope to see some screencorder functions in the future.

Great work.

anything for smartphones?

I want a version for my Samsung i200, too! :-)

@ oldsap
I cannot use a listbox on smartphones so not sure how I would implement the task list option. However, I would be glad to do a smartphone version if there is enough people that would use it.


To make it smartphone conform simple exchange the listbox with a combobox (I am not shure thats the right name).

I get the following error message on my i200 (WM6.1 Standard): See attachment.

I couldn't get it to install on my Sprint Touch Pro 2. No errors, it just wouldn't install.

Edit:
Nevermind, I just needed to do a soft reset. I ran it again and it installed just fine. Works great too! Thanks.

Enjoy the $$

Thanks to all who donated:D and all users. I have moved on to the Android platform so this ends development for Win Mo apps.

Thank you for developing this app! Since you have ceased development, can you please post the source code in either a zip file, or on an open source site, like CodePlex or SourceForge? Doing so would allow another developer to pick up where you left off without having to reinvent the wheel! :-)

[TheRem]

thanks sahoopes! :)

[serverxeon]

[wapvirus]

While I don't have an HD2, CapSure seems to have no problem supporting the WVGA (480x800) screen on my Fathom.

[Szczepanik]

Yes CapSure works very well on HTC HD2.
