Solved Move Window Help

[MourningStar]

When I activate the move window function I can move an explorer window 'beyond' the monitor screen left-right-top-bottom edges. This is ok. However, I am unable to get this same behavior for any browser window that I want to move significantly beyond the monitor screen TOP edge. Left-right-bottom, no problem but moving beyond the top edge - no go.

-thx

In normal windows behaviour the most you can move past the top edge of the screen is the part with the close/window/minimize. Is that what you can't do with the browser?
If you can move an explorer window 'significantly' above the top edge of the screen this is not normal windows behaviour and you are using a third party application

you are correct, my bad.

so, do you know of s/w that will do this?

 

[cyanna]

No. Why would you want to do that? Once the title bar is off the screen you have to jump through hoops to get the window back on the screen.

hmmm, since it cannot be done, why be hoops?

There are circumstances when a windows disappears from the screen, most often people using dual screens or remoting into a computer that does, poorly coded software, etc. Before you ask the windows dissapear to the right or the left, not heard of one moving up or down out of the screen.

To answer 'why' - There is a website where the display at that site contains embedded window with scroll bars. Sometimes I want to capture image in that window with snipping tool and cannot because I need to move active browser window up high enough.

Any chance you could post the link to where you see this embedded window?

If you frequent ebay there are many sellers that customize their listings with embedded windows that contain a lot of product data, images etc. It's like that. I'll locate the exact one later if still required, let me know. Nevermind, found it, here it is :

something like this: pic 1 is my shopping list but you can't see the bottom because I would need to scroll further down
If I scroll the browser only the main window moves, not the shopping list.
USe PicPick and the magic happens: pic 2 shows main windows stayed where it was, embedded frame scrolled

not understand your post. however in your picture if you grow vertical the window so the scroll bars disappear and you can see entire embedded content. Then you must move main window up high enough to snip entire embed page/image.

 

[Callender]

That should do it. Or just zoom out until you can see the whole area.

​

 

[MourningStar]

'what' should do it? - zoom out decrease image resolution of snip. Goal is to vertical 'grow' to see all of image, then move window significant distance up for snip of entire image but cannot move main window vertical enough.

Okay if image quality is what you need try the software mentioned. I haven't used it personally so can;t comment.

Download PicPick - MajorGeeks

 

[MourningStar]

OK - I am not understanding how to use PicPick. If someone can walk me thru the PicPick steps to capture the image in the link I provided in post #9 ...

 

[Callender]

Okay I tried the portable version and couldn't make it extract an image. However I've been messing about. If you use "Inspect Element" in your browser you should be able to extract image URL's and download easch image if that's what you are trying to d

It's not clear to me.

Do you need to capture the entire contents of the scrolling windows and save as a single image?

Or just save one of those large images where it doesn't fit on screen?

 

[Callender]

Anyway here's the first image from that page you posted.

yes it is, thx for staying with me on this. When I put the cursor on top of the desired image and r-clik for 'Inspect Element' my window does not look like yours :

Google books is different. Don't ask me why, I don't know enough about web page coding to answer that, but it is. The only software I know that can capture from Google Books is FastStone Capture. Super easy to use but after 15 day trial it will cost you $20. See pic below
