How to Open This Dialog
Do one of the following, depending on the part of the user interface you are using:
-
Ribbon Select File > Options.
- Tool Strip Select Tools > Options.
General Tab
Minimize to System Tray |
By default, when you minimize Capture, a shortcut button on the main part of the taskbar lets you reopen the application. However, you can select this check box if you want to minimize Capture to the system tray instead. With this option selected, a shortcut icon is placed in the system tray (i.e., notification area) of the taskbar when Capture is minimized. You can click on this icon and select Restore to reopen the application. |
Auto-Reload Documents |
Select this check box if you want Capture to reload documents automatically. |
Auto-Save Documents |
Select this check box if you want Capture to periodically auto-save any open files. You can specify the number of minutes that should elapse between each auto-save. |
Close others when opening new document |
You can have multiple files of all types open in the interface at the same. By default, when you open a new file, other documents that are already open remain open. However, you can change this behavior so that files already open in the interface are automatically closed when you open a new document. You can use any of the following options:
|
Reset "Show Once" Dialogs |
There are some dialogs in Capture that open just once to give you a message or warning when something changes or you switch modes. These dialogs have a check box labeled "Show this dialog." If you deselect that check box, you will not see the dialog again. However, you can use this reset feature to display that dialog (and all other "Show Once" dialogs) again the next time. |
Automatically resize low DPI images |
Starting with Capture |
Interface Tab
Menu Style |
You can select an option to display the interface with ribbons or with the classic tool strip. |
Theme |
You can click the Active Theme field and select a color scheme for the interface. |
Capture Tab
Capture Sound Effect |
Lets you choose whether you want to hear a recording sound when you capture an image. If a check mark is net to this option, it is turned on. |
Hide on Capture |
Lets you choose whether you want the Capture application to be minimized when you capture an image. If a check mark is next to this option, it is turned on. |
Capture Mouse Cursor |
Lets you choose whether the mouse cursor is included in a screen capture. If a check mark is next to this option, it is turned on. |
Automatically Send Captured Image to Clipboard |
Lets you automatically send open images to the Windows clipboard. This lets you then paste the image into Microsoft applications (e.g., Paint, Word, Outlook). In addition, there is an option that lets you automatically send newly captured images to the Windows clipboard immediately. |
Enable Time Delay |
Lets you enable the time delay feature. With this feature, images are captured after the number of seconds that you specify. It is useful, for example, if you need to capture tooltips in a software application. Tooltips typically disappear when you press keys, so a time delayed capture lets you avoid this problem. With time delay enabled, you can initiate a screen capture, and during the "countdown" you can hover your mouse over a button to display the tooltip. When the countdown finishes, the screen capture is taken. After clicking this box to enable the feature, you can enter the specific number of seconds to be used in the delayed capture. |
Enable Magnifier |
Lets you enable or disable the magnifier that appears when you capture new images (using the "Region" method). The magnifier shows a close-up view of the area drawn by your cursor. This lets you more accurately capture a specific area. However, if you are using a computer that is relatively slow, you may wish to disable the magnifier. |
Hot Keys Tab
Action |
Lets you select a Capture option to which you can assign a keyboard shortcut. It also displays the current keyboard shortcut assigned to the selected action. |
Key Assignment |
Lets you choose a key to apply as a keyboard shortcut to the option that is currently selected in the Action section. |
Modifier Key Assignment |
Lets you choose a modifier key ( the CTRL key, SHIFT key, and/or ALT key) to include in a keyboard shortcut combination. Click the check box next to a key name to include it in the keyboard shortcut combination. |
Options |
Lets you turn off the hot key feature by clicking Disable Hot Keys, or return to the factory default keyboard shortcuts by clicking Reset to Factory Defaults. |
