It works fine netmaestro!

(XPpro-SP2 on AMD1800+ 512 Mb machine)

PS
You have a tip for me how to create such custom window?
It looks great. (checked on the forums but get lost in it)

I'm going to include the sourcecode in the zip later today, I just want to clean it up some first. Glad you like it!

Cool, I just discovered the hyperlink gadget, didn't know we had one.

Nice program btw!

Impressive!

I will carefully examine your code to learn from it.
Thanks a lot for it.

Couple of new features, you can set a hotkey (.ini integration to come) and there's a delayed shoot feature for if you want time to open a menu or something similar that will disappear on you if you shoot normally. Features to come include .ini file control of favorite save folder and file format, hotkey, and some other things but I forgot. Also the code is cleaned up and optimized with a couple of redundancies / brainfarts removed.

Couple tiny modifications to behaviour:

-Space bar is discontinued as gadget hider

-Right mouse button now hides the window and replaces the sizing frame with a dotted selection box, it stays that way until RMB is pressed again

-Arrow keys will move the window one pixel per press, this happens whether window is framed with sizing frame or dots - helps with finer selections

-If SHIFT button is held down, arrow keys will increase the size of the window by one pixel per press in the direction of the arrow key. Opposite effect if ALT key is held down.

As nobody seems to be reporting any bugs, we are at RC 1 with release coming in a week or so.

That is really cool.

Very slick.

One thing, when clicking the tray icon to bring the snapper into view and then double clicking elsewhere in the window, the snapper loses it's disc image and buttons etc. I'm not sure if this is intentional?

No, that's a bug. I'll have to fix that, not sure just why it's happening. It shouldn't be too hard to fix though.

Fixed. Thanks for the report.
