SC comparehash dialog sizing

Post by jupe »

Obviously undoc'd so low prio, but this is a longstanding issue I have been tolerating, probz this way since inception (def has been this way since I joined the forum) I haven't thoroughly tested with diff screen res, but I assume that may be the issue, the issue being that the orig hash isn't visible when the dialog is first displayed, although after manual resizing it is possible to display it, example screenshots below. (please excuse my giant screenshots (I run 120% as per profile info), forgot to do my usual manual reduction, and couldn't be bothered once realized :oops: )

O/T: I am more than happy with my current screenshot app, but does anyone know of one that offers an automatic percentage reduction? Currently I usually always manually reduce to 75%, it is true that I can script this post initial saving, but I am looking for one that does it pre.

I can offer only a way to do it post (after capturing), but still fully automatic...

You need:
01. https://www.donationcoder.com/software/ ... hot-captor
Get the portable version

02. A command line tool to convert images
E.g.: https://imagemagick.org/script/download.php
Get e.g.: ImageMagick-7.1.0-portable-Q16-x64.zip
You can move out the convert.exe file, that's the only one necessary

Setup Screenshot Captor:

Code: Select all

Menu - Edit - Preferences
The Basics
    Interface Options
        After Capture Show
            (o) Stay Minimized

Basic Capturing
    Post-Capture Options
        Post Capture Commandline Tools to Run
            "{path to}\convert.exe" -resize 75% "%file%" "%file%" /winmin
And now evertime you capture something it will be autosaved to the .\Screenshots folder in the Screenshot Captor path and convert.exe will have resized it to 75%...

Thanks for the suggestion, I was trying to avoid double file saving, but this is definitely a step in the automation direction and may be workable when I get enough ram for a ram drive setup or alternative. :)

The plus and pro versions can do it. Not freeware though...

You can't enter a specific percentage, but choose from a drop-down list...
