I've never taken a selfie myself, but I know folks hold their phone with one hand and their arm extended to take the pic. But another application can do whatever it likes, because it is a separate thread with its own unique identification. As Dave said, that particular application can't do it because it's waiting for user interaction. Each application likely has its own identifier in the operating system. You should be able to capture other windows with Snagit in the usual way. It's worth noting that these workarounds are only necessary for capturing modal dialogs in Snagit's capture tool (Snagit32.exe). Your license key will unlock earlier versions if you want to go this route. You could then use Snagit 12 to capture Snagit 13. For example, Snagit 12 and 13 can both be installed. Use an earlier major version of Snagit.Then in Snagit Editor File > New > New from clipboard (as of Snagit 13.1), or just paste into a blank document in the Snagit Editor. Use Alt + PrtScn to copy the active window to the clipboard.If you need to capture modal dialogs in Snagit, then you'll need to use a different method, because Snagit is busy waiting for user input on the modal dialog. If you open its Options dialog, which is modal, you cannot initiate a capture, even with its hotkey.
That's the way modal dialogs work in all applications, and that's why you can't initiate a capture while this dialog is open. A modal dialog requires the user to interact with it before you can interact with the parent application. I won't be changing my position.įor what it's worth, the dialog in question (Snagit Capture Preferences) is a modal dialog. I've expressed disdain for poorly designed workarounds as opposed to functionality.
Most people won't spend 15 or 20 minutes trying to force a text callout to do something Camtasia can't make it do natively. Some workarounds are creative, but require to much effort. I don't like the Clunky, Long Long Way Around, Ridiculous, Workarounds that I have seen posted in this forum at times. That's cool that Albert CLAESEN knew a keyboard shortcut that places it on the clipboard. I doubt TechSmith even considers it a bug. SnagIt "Never" has been able to capture the Preferences Window using the standard capture technique.So, I suspect it never will. So for the most part, SnagIt's shortcoming doesn't bother me. Recording the screen gives me a lot to work with.I just scrub the timeline to select the best screen shots, save png's and export. Requires multiple screen captures, coupled with exporting to Photoshop to create a completed image. In order to compile a screen shot that showsĢ.Accessing a specific Menu and applying change.
