Screen Capture Utility

Hello all,

I already have a couple of screen capture programs I really like, but neither one can do this. I am looking for a good free program that will capture an entire window even when the whole window does not fit on the screen. Does anyone know of such a program?

 

Maybe ScreenRip32 can do what you want or HandySnap and it's freeware, although HandySnap stays free as long as it's in Beta.

 

I am disappointed, that you didn't mention SnagIt Eldar.

 

I don't know if this will help but why can't you just download the entire web page? I do this all the time with pages, and save them to a special folder that I can view later. In Firefox right click and select "save page as".

 

Disappointed? SnagIt does do this, but it's not free.

 

True, but what if I want to capture the screen of a program I am running and it is too large to fit on the screen without taking multiple screen shots?

 

Ouch, i missed that "little" detail.

 

I guess what you would call that I am looking for is a "scrolling window capture" in a free program. I have programs that do everything else and I do not want to pay for just this one feature.

 

Scrolling window, region. SnagIt or HyperSnap do all this. I haven't found a free one yet who gives you this feature.

You'll have to wait then until some developer incorporates it in a free screen capture program, although I doubt it.

Edit: With all this talk about screen capture I wrote down the wrong one.

 

I really like SnagIt but here is my next problem I ran into. I can do scrolling window captures with no problem, except that the one I really wanted to capture, SnagIt does not recognize it as a scrolling window and will only do a regular window capture... Oh well....

 

Yet another shareware program, Mr. Captor (http://www.fox-magic.com/mc_gb/web_page_capture.html), which also should be capable of doing what you want.

 

I'm curious to know which scrolling window you want to capture. Have you tried scrolling region? Some time ago I captured a scrolling region in Spy Sweeper (5.2 MB) Yikes.

So I was wrong after all, didn't know that one.

 

I couldn’t let you go without an actual freeware utility you requested for; I found nice small and basic, easy-to-use webpage capture utility.

Web2Pic v1.1 (Freeware)
Official site: http://www.anloer.com/web2pic/index.htm
Official D/L: http://www.qwerks.com/download/7741/WEB2PIC.zip size: 356 KB


Optional choice:

Screenshot Pilot v1.03 (Freeware)
Official site: http://www.colorpilot.com/screenshot.html



Edited; Web2Pic v1.1 wont do what you want, you'll have to jump to Screenshot Pilot. I didn't seem to get the part, you wanted to capture the program window along with....

 

I was trying to capture the "about" screen in PrevX Home which shows all of the different module versions to post in the update section.

 

I'm not using Prevx, but I think that should be done by using 'scrolling region' instead of scrolling window, same as in my Spy Sweeper's log.

Worth a try.

 

Thanks, this one did exactly what I wanted, works like a charm, and best of all is free!!!

 

Eldar,

I guess we were posting at the same time. I guess I do not need to go back to SnagIt and try the other method you suggested because SnagIt is a pay for software and Mr. Captor is free.

Thanks everyone for all of your help and suggestions ....

 

Right you are. No need to go back to SnagIt when you found a free one.

My pleasure.

 

Are you sure Mr Capture is free?



see download page: > Mr Capture (shareware, ZIP file, 1.9 MB)

 

Hi snowy,

You are correct, it is not free. The website is a little deceiving. You have to look real close to see it is shareware and even closer to find the price of $29. What jumps out at you is the "free download", and after looking closer you find out it is a 30 day trial. I only found out the 30 day trial part from the help >> about within the program itself.... And I was liking it too.... I guess I will have to look at some others....

(Phantom's post did say it was shareware )

 

Right you are.
Misleading website because you would think it's free, but on the download page it's marked Shareware.

 

did you find what you were looking for puff? theres a program at snapfiles which, i think, does it. although it gets a really low rating so i dont know what to say about it
its called Web2Pic

i spend alot of time at freeware sites, so if you are still looking, let me know and i'll have a search for you

EDIT i see you have it already. Opps.
