Perhaps a small disclaimer: most of the features in this first public beta should work fine, but not all of them are finished yet. Here are some remarks we'd like to make about this release:
- Window by Title isn't active yet.
You can select a window from the list, but the Select button doesn't do anything as for now.
- Aero Glass may not be captured properly in the screenshots.
Full Screen and Select Area screenshots can capture Glass, but window screenshots may have Aero Basic window borders and black toolbar backgrounds. This is because the script runs on GDI+ which has been available for many Windows versions and this library isn't fully up-to-date with the Aero renderings.
- The design is not final yet.
Most of the design work has been spent in the Preferences window, but the preview window and the screenshots viewer window haven't received much treatment yet. Don't worry, we haven't forgotten about those.
- The Add/Edit Overlay panel isn't finished yet.
The selected alignment isn't reflected in the preview and the tags used in the text show up as normal, unparsed codes instead of showing a real-time example of the tag value. We're not sure about this whole preview thing, we might fix it or replace it entirely with something else.
Also, the selected contacts feature hasn't been implemented yet, that's why it's disabled.
We release this public beta so we can test our new code in many different situations and on different installations. It's still a beta version so we can't fully assure a smooth usage experience, but we're pretty confident that you won't encounter too much trouble. You had to wait a long time for this release, so we didn't want to delay a first beta much longer.
Enjoy the script, and let us know what you think about it!
