XYplorer Beta Club

When I use the Snapshot tool a black screenshot is saved to the Clipboard. It doesn't matter what type of video file the snapshot is taken from. All Clipboard snapshots are black (no image).

System Info:

Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
OS Version: Service Pack 2
Model Number: Compaq Presario X1000
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1300MHz
CPU Speed: 595 MHz

You have to adjust hardware acceleration:

In Windows XP and 2000:
Right-click on desktop
Select Properties->Settings->Advanced->Troubleshoot
Then set the hardware acceleration slider to the third notch (from left) and apply the changes.
Computer Restart not required.

Thanks for the quick reply. It worked

There is one more issue with the Snapshot feature I didn't mention in my original 'bug' report: XYplorer saves two copies (duplicates) of a snapshot to Clipboard Recorder instead of one.

Aha, interesting! In fact I'm setting the Bitmap and the DIB-Bitmap at the same time, and your Clipboard Recorder counts that as two. I do this to have 100% control over the clipboard contents. If I copy the Bitmap only, other apps like ACDSee still control the DIB-Bitmap which is used by e.g. Photoshop for pasting. Other apps use Bitmap for paste, so to be 100% safe I have to copy both.

Okay. No problem. Thought it might've been a glitch with XYplorer and/or Clipboard Recorder.

Thanks.
