AutoHotkey Community

Hi Toralf,
i have posted the complete script to you in a pm.

The following features are implemented:

hard coded:
- "Show Easycopy" in tray menu now toggles show/hide -- Wish 3
- "edit" button opens the last saved file in Irfanview
- toggling "stay on top" by middle click on title bar -- Wish 4
- if version of i_view32.exe is > 3.9.7.0 capturing region will work
with SysGet, 78 / 79 "virtual screen" coordinates

configurable:
- do not show Gui after capture ( only if "preview" is off ) -- Wish 2
- do not show Gui on startup -- Wish 2
- show/hide Gui by single click on tray icon -- Wish 3
hide by right click on titlebar ( instead of rollup/down )
- "open" button shows irfanview thumbnails instead of explorer folder
- capture is saved to clipboard

Dear hps,

Thanks for the new features. I have updated the code in the first post.

Thanks also for continueing my style of coding. Made it fairly easy to incorporate your additions. I modified some of the lines and restructured the code in some areas. Please test if it still works. It works here.

Updated first post.
It is now possible to specify any amount of "#" in a filename. The automatic numbering will fill each "#" with a number.

So that shot_###.jpg will become shot_001.jpg , etc.
But also #.#.#.jpg is possible. It will end up as 0.0.1.jpg , etc.

If the file allready exists it will serach for the next available filename. If it can't find a free file name it will show a message.

And I think I have as well removed some minor bugs. If you find some remaining, let me know.

Region capturing now works on secondary monitors too.

New version 0.7 in first post.

Edit 060125: normal hotkeys for RButton (RollUp or Hide) and MButton (Toggle AOT) on GUI have been replaced with OnMessage() since they caused problems with other apps.

take a look at this, for replacing irfanview that many people doesn't like(me! ), and send me comments :
http://www.autohotkey.net/~kiu/kiu-clipsave.exe
use it to save an image on clipboard in png and jpg.When launched it save the image in image.jpg and image.png.
Maybe it's better to set priority to realtime when launching the app.

Let me know

If that is the case for capturing full screen, it is a flaw of IrfanView since the only thing EasyCopy does is send IrfanView the command line "/area=0" which means capture full screen.

If you tried other capture methods please be more specific.

Toralf,

I like your script and find it rather useful. However, I noticed one minor thing that I wanted to change. When the file runs, it generates an ini file that contains the script's own extension in it.

Example:
Script Name: EasyCopyAHK.ahk
Created ini: EasyCopyAHK.ahk.ini

For those of us who are sticklers about clean file names, and do not like periods, except before the extension, here is something you can add. It adds one line, and changes a variable in another. It is the first command in your Directives section.


This gives us the following:

Script Name: EasyCopyAHK.ahk
Created ini: EasyCopyAHK.ini

I know it is minor, and I am not sure if you would want to incoporate it, but thought I would let you know what worked for me.

Dear silveredge78

Thank you very much for your post. I will include it in the next release. I was lazy when I coded that part. In other scripts I did it exaclty that way, but don't know hwy I didn't do it here. Thanks, very much appreaciated.

EDIT: Did it directly in the first post.

Funny, I treat the period exactly like any other legal file name character.
Well, sort of, I avoid to put two of them consecutively (although it is legal), and to put one at the end of a name... (this one is illegal).
But I have lot of downloaded files looking like AutoHotkey-1.0.44.08.zip or curl-7.15.4.tar.bz2 and never had any problem with them. Hey, I even have some files and folder with an initial dot, in Unix style (they are semi-hidden in these systems).
Do you have other rules for "clean file names"? Do you stick to 8 uppercase alphanumeric characters?
Just my 2 cents, of course, you name your files the way you prefer!

Philho,

It is more a matter of personal preference. Some of us are a tab bit anal retentive sometimes. In general, I do not like extra periods in filenames - not cause I think I cant do it, because I do not care for it.

Also, the other scripts in my directory that use an ini file follow the naming structure I suggested. I also like to see things consistent. Again, just my personal preference.

For those that do not care, its not a big deal. Just my two cents.

Hi,

Was the

- Auto-Interval (image sequence in timesteps)

ever implemented?

I really need this feature!!!

Good work!!
It took me 4.5 hours looking in this forum for that kind of scripts..thanks a lot and more power...
ganbatte ne

i wanted to write a script to capture a specific region then click or send a keystroke then capture another screen shot for the same region for n number of times.

So the user assigns an active window, and N for the number of times he wants the screenshot THEN keystroke to happen.

for example: i have a 400 page ebook, i want the script to snap a screen shot of the page's region, then send keystroke "down" then capture x 400 times.



after hours of reading i doubt i can accomplish this as i am a total noob at writing scripts.

could this somehow be implemented into this awesome script? searching everywhere i could not find a more powerful script.

thanks
