There's a serious bug and memory leak in there m8. Just tried it on XP Pro SP3 and when I pressed ctrl+space a message box kept popping up when I clicked somewhere saing that the picture needs to be at least 1x1 px. When I presses ctrl+alt+del to kill the process I noticed it was using a whooping 380 MiB.

I'm on XP sp3 and it's working just fine using around 20-30Mb of ram except one bug that hes already aware of and it's nothing serious anyways.

Well here it's not. My guess is something is going wrong with win32 callbacks on some systems since the .NET JIT would nicely throw an exception.

SS'd the problem:



^Can't do anything till I press ctrl-alt-del to quit the process.

Mem usage:



Odd problem. I'd have a look at that library you used for key strokes or something. It's a lot like something gets stuck in an infinite while/for loop.

You get that error if you didn't drag the mouse to select an area to capture, But it goes away if u click ok. Can't you do that ? If not, then its something wrong with the system you're running. That's what it looks like to me because it's working fine here.

Pressing ESC will cancel the "capture process". - I probably forgot do dispose of a reader/writer somewhere maybe.

@R-T - these are compatibility issues. Thats why you have to seriously consider whether or not you want to go public with programs - customer support

then its something wrong with the system you're running. That's what it looks like to me because it's working fine here.

That's a very flawed way of thinking about software. My system is fine, if it wasn't I would know. Especially regarding .NET apps since I use that XP installation for development mainly and games (which would be a lot more sensitive to a bugged system).

I didn't know I was supposed to select an area though, thought this would do a complete screen capture so that could explain the behavior. Still, there must be some issue with a loop somewhere or garbage collection.

ok - releasing the update when a few things are finalised.

- Added an option to "Startup with windows"
- Repaired several memory-hogging procedures. Reduced footprint from 40MB(!) to a mere 800k (reported by: Hyperz).
- Compiled it all in a nice clean single .exe
- Improved the graphics (creds: Elio)
