*still wants a toolbar option, too*

Big (((HUGS))) to you MightyQueenC

I think you found the way things work now.
If your using NoScript then you got to give shazou's site rights to run the java script.

Not sure if anyone has posted this - but for those of you who want to check your new LCD monitors for dead pixels , you might find this useful. It's free.

FWIW, I just created five graphics files for testing my LCD's. Black, White, Red, Green, and Blue. If you display those full screen in sequence, you'll find any dead or stuck pixels. I included the black and white because I found that some combinations were hard to spot only using the three colors.

Also free.

A Compact Screen Capture Utility.
Hi,

ScreenHunter 4 Free is it. Since Wisdom have introduced their version 5 (including software versions) most of the links in response to a 'Google' for 'ScreenHunter4' will take you to version 5 which, is for me, oversized and 'fussy' - simply, I don't like it! The search for a genuine version 4 took me a long time so I thought a post here might serve.

ScreenHunter version 4 is available for download here.

It is a fraction of the size of the new version. (381KBs to 2.5MBs)

A gif attached.

Ben.

Many Thanks .. I didn't like 5.0 either.
The only thing I saw new was the Camera shutter sound effects .. Is that what added the extra MBs

Hello Noyb,

It's good to know someone else likes the same freeware and has the same response to the new version of it.

I simply don't know what the difference is. But one look at the GUI and then realizing the sizes were hugely different - well that was enough for me. I usually keep the older version handy just in case but a no-brainer of a format and re-install cost me dear with the loss of all my docs.

5 Free shows these:

• Capture any part of your desktop, a window or full screen with mouse pointer
• Save captures in BMP, JPEG and GIF file
• Hotkey from F1 to F12 and Print Screen key
• Direct printing


And version 4 this info:

Wisdom-Soft ScreenHunter is a free screen-capture tool for you to easily take screenshots. ScreenHunter can capture a full screen, an active window, the client window, or a rectangular area. It automatically saves captures in BMP or JPEG format, so you don't have to stop each time you capture, and you can capture as many as you like. It also can save captures to the Clipboard to be copied to other programs, such as Motion Studio and Word. ScreenHunter has a selectable hot-key capture (F1 to F10) and delayed capture, and uses virtually no system resources on standby. ScreenHunter freeware version has no expiration date and can be distributed free of charge.

Beats me. Not mentioned in 4 is the fact it can capture in the gif format as well. But that size difference makes me cringe. I can't find a Print option in 4 so perhaps that is it. What do you think?

Ben.

I always thought the Print Screen key and Paint function in Windows did a adequate job for capturing a screen shot. What am I missing by not having a program like ScreenHunter?
