I don't know why the Diamond users are reporting that the program works fine on their devices. On the HTC Touch Pro it should be the same, but here it doesn't work correctly. The screenshots taken with the program are OK, but the settings dialog isn't shown correctly. I've attached some pics to show you what I mean.

It would be nice if this could be fixed because this is really a nice tool.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mattster_spv:
Thanks for this application. Seems to work fine on my Trinity.

In settings, I can't seem to specify exactly where in SD to save my shots, maybe I am mistaken?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
SD Card

Double click your storage card in the folder list. If you have sub folders they will appear.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterbonge:
Any chances to get the VGA bugs fixed (see post #103)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
I mean to do this but have other responsibilities right now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
I have uploaded v1.11a to post #1. Only change is my attempt at fixing the problems shown in post #103. VGA users please test version in post #1.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterbonge:
The settings window looks OK now. Just the first 2 help windows and the browse window are cut a little bit at the bottom.

And there are some more things cut at the bottom:

- The main screen. The picture is cut a little bit and there is no info line below it.

- The browser. The list is cut and there is no date info in the lower right part of the window.

- The edit and about windows are also cut at the bottom.

And it would be nice if the file extension of the screenshots would be lower case.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
Thanks for your help on this Peter. Looks like it's not going to be a quick fix. I'll have a new version as soon as I can.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
Broke down and installed the device emulator so I could test and debug VGA support. I think I have it now. Please give it a try. New version 1.11b is in post #1.

Thanks for all your help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
I noticed it doesn't seem to support unicode... Or has some issues

My WM 6.1 system is in Portuguese and some dirs are translated:

"My Memory"->"A minha memória"

"Memory Card"->"Cartão de Memória"

In capsure menu those "starnge chars" like ó and ã display as an odd symbol (when selecting the save folder) and if any folder with those is selected the app just crashes...

Also any chance to add the actual screenshot capture funtion to a hardware button? Didn't notice it in the menu and since it crashed I couldn't test it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterbonge:
All seems to be fine now. Thanks!

One last thing: Maybe you can add the command line info to the about box or make a little help window for this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
Thanks Peter. Good idea on the help window. I am also going to add pre-made links for some of the command options to the CAB for next version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
Strings in the app should be UTF-8. I will check into why it is not working for you.

I won't add a hardware button option because you can create shortcuts with certain command line options and assign those to a hardware key. Next CAB will install those shortcut files automatically.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kevlah:
The screens posted show fine on my HTC Touch Diamond. The only problem I'm having is that the Windows waiting symbol stays on sometimes while it takes the shot. I have the app set to take photo when holding the send key. This is by far the best screen capture utility I have used so far.

I haven't posted screens of the settings because it won't take the picture using the hardware key and I'm too lazy to set it to wait :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
Thanks for the comments. I'll look into why the wait cursor is staying on.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
How are you using the send key? Mapped to a link that has a CapSure command line? If so, what options are on the command line?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kevlah:
I created a copy of the lnk file in Start Menu and edited the shortcut. I have attached the shortcut. I then used Schaps Advanced Config to map the key to the shortcut. That was the easiest way to do it that I could think of but I will be looking for the regkey to use command line rather than shortcut as I now have an extra shortcut in start menu that has to stay there. The shortcut has the following target:

"\Program Files\CapSure\capsure.exe" silent quick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
I'll be looking into this over the weekend.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
I've checked with a couple of other programmers, one that lives in Portugal. They could not find anything in the code that would cause this problem. I'm using .NET CF which is UTF-8 so the conclusion I got from them was:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
Version 1.11c

Added Command Line Help

Added Preconfigured short cuts to CAB install

Newest version in Post #1.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
Thank you Avian Waves
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] at45:
There's no _setup.xml in the cab file. Could you please tell us what files and registry entries the program makes? I installed it on my X1 just now anyway, but haven't figured it out yet. Seems complicated for a screenshot utility, but promising. I'll be mapping the command line to "shoot" in Voice Command.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterbonge:
@at45: _setup.xml is not needed for PPC CAB files. You can use this tool to analyze all types of CAB files:

http://codeppc.com/telechargements/msceinf/msceinf.htm

@sahoopes: Some minor issues:

1. The preconfigured shortcuts are working only with english OS version. You should better let the CAB file create these shortcuts.

2. It's a little bit irritating that you have to click on the red X to close the big help window. Maybe because it looks like a normal window with a blue background. If you click on OK you are closing the program completely.

Maybe you should better make it like the about window.

3. For the examples in the help file you better should use something like:

capsure.exe quick

4. The "Silent" chapter in the help file contains some typos:

"The silen command..."

"If silen is used..."
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
I have to look into how to do this. Let you know.

I changed it to allow the OK button or the Red X button close the help window.

Done.

[/QUOTE]

Done.

These changes will be present in the next version which is not ready yet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
No registry entries. And all files, including DLLs are installed in the program files directory.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
I have tried to make this work but can't seem to get it. When I add any of these command lines to a shortcut in the inf file (that is used by CabWiz) I get an error. I googled and I cannot find a way to add a command line parameter to the shortcuts installed by a CAB.

Can anyone explain how to do this?

This is my INF that produces the error:

[Shortcuts]
CapSure,0,capsure.exe,%CE11%
Shoot,0,capsure.exe shoot,%CE1%\%AppName%

I know CabWiz will not create a shortcut for a file not listed in the CopyFiles section of the INF. It thinks "capsure.exe shoot" is the name of the file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
version 1.11d

Suggestions from post 126 now in version 1.11d in post #1.

I am still unable to accomodate preconfigured links in the CAB. No response here or in a thread started in the Q & A section.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mecal:
how to translate is into Simplified Chinese? what tools should i use?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterbonge:
Sorry for answering so late...

Looks good so far. Thanks for the update!

Now to the shortcut problem:

I've googled a lot and analyzed a lot of CABs. It seems that other CABs are using an extra DLL to execute commands after installing the program. I've found some info here:

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/setupdll.aspx

But there are always other ways/workarounds:

1. You can add an option to the program to create these special shortcuts. Dotfred is using this variant for his Task Manager:

http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm

2. You can remove these shortcuts completely and offer separate ZIP files with these shortcuts. One ZIP file per language. We could help you with this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
I think I like option 1. Drawback is that they would not be removed in an uninstall.

I think this could be easily added to the program to click a button or menu and have these shortcuts created. Question: I think these shortcuts should reaide in the applications folder. Or should they go into the Start Menu?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterbonge:
I would prefer the start menu because that's THE place for shortcuts :)

I'm thinking of a sub menu within the options menu (maybe "Create Shortcuts"). In this sub menu there should be entries for every command combination. Please don't add an option to create all shortcuts at once.

An alternative: You could add a right softkey menu for this at the help window.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JstarLuvsTina:
great app..no issues to report thus far!

works perfectly with my FUZE

Late,

Jstar
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
Yes, that's the perfect place for it. Coming soon...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
version 1.11e

I uploaded versionj 1.11e to post #1.

This update allows for creation of command line shortcuts right from the application. Choose About or Help from the menu and then open the Shortcuts menu.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
bug fix

Version 1.11f uploaded to post #1. This fixes a bug that caused an error when saving image after edit.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] addicus:
I'm using v1.11f on my 8525 running WM 6.1 and it runs perfectly. It's great to finally have a screen capture program that allows me to not only chhose what format I want the picture, but where to store it and have the size be small enough to immediately upload to xds-devs.

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
Thank you addicus. Those are some of the same reasons I created CapSure for myself.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nonno:
Haven't done exhaustive tests, but works fine on my SE Xperia X1 (800x480).

Excellent little app.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildAce786:
Hi all.

I just installed this app. and I must say thank you very much for such an excellent program.

I do have one issue though: how do I go about registering a hardware button to use for taking screenshots?

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
First, in CapSure, select the Options menu, then choose Help.

From Help, select the ShortCuts menu and select which shortcut(s) you want to map a button to. Read the help to decide which one you want.

After creating the shortcut(s), go to start menu, settings, personal, buttons. Select which button to map and then choose the shortcut from the drop down list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildAce786:
Great, that did the trick.

Just one more question though:

I had created multiple shortcuts for individual options (i.e. 3 Shoot options). Therefore I was wondering, is there is any way to delete the shortcuts I am not using?

The image below shows what I mean.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
Use any File Manager. The shortcuts are located in \Windows\Start Menu.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildAce786:
Great, that's just what I wanted to know.

Thanks once again for the sweet app:cool:.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iTouch24:
am i missing something or u cannot send a capture screen ...

is there no way to send a picture while viewing in program via picturemail or email ?

i would like to view the picture in browser then send right from program... possible?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ncardoso:
Dumb questions... how do I?

It might be because it's late... or lack of coffee... but how do I use the capsure software? I checked the help, but I'm not sure how to create or use the shortcuts. Thanks and sorry about the basic question.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] striimii:
UPD: Problem solved. Thanks! :)

[REQ] Sound or visual indicator

Anyway to add a camera click sound or some sort of visual flash of the screen to indicate the screen was captured, like screen capture in GIMP or Photoshop? I setup a sequence to take 4 shots every 3 seconds just to see how it works. I ended up with 4 shots of the same thing because I didn't know it was taking the screen captures.

Anyway, cool bit of software.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
OK. Click sound coming in next release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iTouch24:
+1 FOR ABOVE FEATURE REQUEST AS WELL

spb screenshot has a cool effect.. flashes screen to negative effect real quick... so u know the capture went through
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iTouch24:
any thought on being able to send your capture screen from application?... pick the picture in browser then pick either picmail or email and it will then send you to your requested application to send the picture off...possible?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
No. The overhead needed to add this is more than the convenience of starting a messaging application for you.

As far as the sound: I will add a setting to play a wav on screen capture. I include a couple sounds but the program will allow you to attach any wav file to the event so you can make/use your own sounds.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iTouch24:
ok understood... thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
now with sound

Added sound options today. 4 wav files are included with install but you can choose others.

If you make a wav file, please share it in this thread.

New version 1.11g uploaded to post #1.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smotrs:
Sweet, gonna go try it out now.

Edit: Nice job, works great. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vosszaa:
Can somebody explain me how to use this program? I install and try to use it but when i launch it just shows a white screen.

What do i need to do if i want to capsure the video movie screen im playing?

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smotrs:
By default, when you launch the software it will display the last capture that took place. A white screen just means there are no previous captures to display. If you had done a capture before, it would show the last capture that was done. Look below the white square on the left is Capture Now and on the right is Options.

Pressing Capture Now will take a screen shot of whatever screen is below the program. Probably the Programs Directory where you launched Capture from. Pressing Options will allow you to browse to a directory where captures exist, edit a capture, configure how you want to perform the capture as well as where you want to store them and the format of the files (under Settings).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vosszaa:
Errr.. sorry if im stupid but im still confused.

First, can capsure capture the still image of video playback?

Second, How? can u please explain in step by step.

Third, is there any alternative app that can capture a still image from video playback?

I found the capture part is really hard and un-userfriendly. I understand that capsure will capture whatever screen below it but how can i launch capsure from the unlaunchable area?(such as in album player or any other area where i cant access the windows menu in order to launch capsure)

Sumbody post a guide "Capsure from dummies" please.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr-free:
wow very nice thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rocho:
could it do a screen capture with a hardware button??? like PTT??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sahoopes:
yes. choose help from the menu. it describes the possible shortcuts to use. use the program to create the shortcut and then use settings on your phone to assign the button to the shortcut.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rocho:
worked fine, but i had to create shortcut myself, CapSure didn't create it somehow..

nice work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wanwarlock:
this is working excellent on my touchpro. i made a small mistake of changing the timer to 10secs, but my program did not run before that! so changed back to default 15secs...

thanks for this wonderful app
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] doministry:
Hi.

Firstly thanks for the app!!

Secondly I wonder how to make it work efficiently...

So I usually use this kind of app for GoogleMaps for abroad travels.

What I had in the past (UIQ platform) was utility where I was taking a shot whenever I wanted just pressing a little square displayed onscreen. That was convinient...

Anyway I set CapSure it to shot 10 times for each 30 seconds but apparently I saw no onscreen notification for that - should it be there?? And the phone slooooowend down miserably - should it be like that?

But I apparently also switched orientation so I shouldn't be doing that??

EDIT:

When I set it to shoot a series of captures and hit "CapSure Now" the app is not present on TaskManager. Cannot be stopped than and while it's shooting you cannot enter the app either.

It's a pity the app does not show the capture while taken, it would let it do more things.

I assume it's done by sound but it cannot be done in silent mode than.

I use SE X1.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] doministry:
Ok, I think it's fine just setting this in the popup Menu and just make it shoot each time.

Anyway thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jjjasjar:
Wait cursor and Scroll bar on landscape mode

The wait cursor appears every once in a while if you launch the app from the shortcut (quick, shoot etc.) from the start menu and takes a screen shot. If you launch the actual program and take a screen shot no wait cursor is visible and works like a charm.

One more issue is that if you launch the program in lanDscape mode and when you tap the settings tab, can there be a scroll bar on the right side so that you can scroll down and adjust or view the settings.

Everything is running smoothly on my vga device. Thank you much sir.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wanwarlock:
i wanted to take a screen capture of a full screen movie on wmp mobile. capsure ran ok, on the thumbnail it did show the correct screen, but when i transfer to pc, it shows a blank screen. i thought because it was because of the movie being played. got out of fullscreen but still the same problem. this time, it shows wmp mobile window ok, but the movie screen was black - even when i paused the movie.

thumbnail shows the screens fine, but on transfer to pc, the pic goes black.

no other problems with other usage.

anybody had this before? is there a fix?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kiesha:
Hi.

I uninstalled this program however it still shows in the programs list and in remove programs list (this is where I initially removed the app). If I try to open the app it will not open so I thought to reinstall and the install was unsuccessful. I attempted to remove it again w/o any luck. Any idea what I can do to remove this?

edit: it's now removed from the program list but still in the remove programs list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] justDave:
Yes, I'm seeing the wait cursor in just about every shot.

Edit: I switched from "quick" to "shoot" and set "timed capture in 1 secs" and I haven't seen the wait cursor since.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wg5566:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xyz77041:
just how is this program installed.?

Uzipped the file and ended up with a bunch of other files.

No readme for installation nothing... !

Just how is this program installed on a WM6 device ?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jokes On You:
Just copy the .cab file to your device and run it. It should ask where to install and thats it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xyz77041:
ho to install this program

Just how does one install this program ?

The file unzipped inot several files with extension .001 .002 etc

A readme.txt explaining how to install would be helpful.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterbonge:
Can't you read? Your question was already answered! Don't try to unzip the CAB file. Copy it to the device and run it (-> try to open it on the device with the file explorer). Then the installation process will start.

It seems that you have to learn a lot of Windows Mobile basics...
