Solved FastStoneCapture

[grits]

I've had the free version for years & LOVE IT but since I now have Windows 7, the 'Capture Scrolling Window' doesn't work so a few days ago I installed the new version as a trial but didn't uninstall my old one. The new one doesn't scroll either. Could that be due to still having the old one?? I really want to be able to capture a scrolling window. I'm talking about folders,etc. in my PC, not web pages, if that makes any difference.

Thanx.

Not sure what is wrong with yours, but my free version just captured all of this ....

thats a web page jaycee, OP wants to capture a window with scrolling.

you could try picpick, i havent used it but it says it does what you want it to, also its free to home users

Tried PicPick too, no go. But then again, it might be me not doing something right.

Here's a 'still' capture of what I want to 'scroll' capture. (used FSC for this)

Well, after a quick web search ....... to ME it looks like that feature may be turned off for the free version. Its listed as "shareware" which usually means some features are turned off for the free version. I could be wrong here. Maybe you could ask them, there is a "contact us" tab on their website. Maybe they have changed policies since you last downloaded it.

snagit 11 has the capture scrolling window feature too, but it is not free.

Yup,I looked at snagit too but trying to exist on $524.00 a month just can't see my way to buy programs although was thinking I could afford the $ of FastStone, that's why I went for the 30 day trial. Maybe I should go ahead & uninstall my 'free' one to see if the 'trial' will then work for scroll capture??

Couldn't hurt as you could always go back.

 

[grits]

I did go ahead & send them a note yesterday, don't know how long before I get a reply so will just wait for now.

I did do some playing around with it tho' & found that 'some' windows would scroll but others wouldn't. :huh: Could that possibly be something with my mouse or what?

 

[grits]

Still playin' around & more confused

Just did a 'Scroll Capture' of the posts here & it did scroll like it's supposed to so why won't it scroll through the Event Viewer?

And another question IF I can word it to make sense . . . . Why does the screenshot(which I'm attaching) now show as a whole window, not 'scrollable' like it did in XP, using the default viewer? Is there some sort of 'configuration'(if that's the right term) that I need to do in Windows Photo Viewer(now the default) to make it scrollable?

 

[grits]

Have come to the conclusion that the problem is more with Windows Photo Viewer than anything else so will go ahead and mark this Solved.

I am having a similar problem with DUCK CAPTURE (scrolling aborts half way through)
I have tried via "developer tools" but capture is too large for screen
Then chrome extension "master capture" but a bit clunky.

Anyone recommend a ROLLING SCREEN capture program that includes the web address?
Paid or free

Thank you

Found a suitable one, $1 a month
