MacroScheduler failing with Screenshot capture app

Post by HeMan » Fri Sep 16, 2005 8:34 pm

Hi,
I have a screenshot capture app downloaded from http://www.d--b.webpark.pl/onlinescreen_en.htm. I am trying to record a session of capturing a screen shot of one webpage. When I try to run the recorded Macro it just doesn't even focus on the screen shot capture tool. The focus just stays on the MacroScheduler window only. But when do something on firefox and record that session it works just fine. Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks
HeMan

Hi HeMan,

Try SnagIt from TechSmith. It's the best and compatible with Macro Scheduler.

I used snagit but now I have switched to HyperSnap-DX http://www.hyperionics.com/ which is very good too and has a command line mode that makes it very easy to automate.

Don't make a decision without checking out HardCopy which is FREE.

Does not have a command line feature, but can remap Print Screen and other keys for Capture functions. Has image editing, email, Twain, etc.
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,
