Lightscreen is really nice. Many thx.billmcct wrote:Ok i have Lightscreen Portable from PortableApps.com on my sytem
I knew something like this had to exist but never took the time to find it. Now I don't have to.
Reduces my cumbersome multi-stage operation to a few clicks.
Here, I can crash it on demand by trying to change auto save options for date or timestamp but, big deal - I quickly decided that "save as" was a lot more efficient, naming on the fly.
Excellent piece of kit.
Re: Fireshot 0.98.89 add-on no longer compatible
Nice, but far from fireshot. No scrolling capture (it's a must with a web page capture) and you need to open an external app. Much better option is to keep a Chrome window opened and use its fireshot extension (working really fine) when required.doofy wrote:Lightscreen is really nice.

Let me do again the question: what did Pale Moon developer do in last update to make fireshot unusable? Is it so difficult to reverse this option?
Re: Fireshot 0.98.89 add-on no longer compatible
Many, many changes were made in the last update. It would be difficult to point at any single difference without taking a look at the add-on. The best place to start is the error console - see what errors occur in the add-on's code (hopefully there are some) and trace back from there.Pepita wrote:Let me do again the question: what did Pale Moon developer do in last update to make fireshot unusable?

I love Pale Moon, really a petty, I'll follow my above solution waiting and hoping for future updates from both sides.
Thanks a lot for the kind replies

(With a quick look) Fireshot 0.98.89 still looks to work in PM 28 (beta 5 on my end) simply by changing the install.rdf, the Firefox section.
Using 0.98.89, Capture Selection works without causing the entire browser to "jitter" like 0.98.93 does.
(Pretty odd affect, if I may say.)
Code: Select all

Re: Fireshot 0.98.89 add-on no longer compatible
Strange, I just installed Fireshot 0.98.89 and the selection option is still not working for me. It only greys out the screen and does nothing else.

@ Moonchild
In your post the image has a notation that you are using Fireshot 0.98.94.10.
There is no v0.98.94.10 on the AMO legacies webpage.
Versions run
0.98.93 | 5-Aug-2017 ... compatible with Fox v54.0.1 (64-bit)
0.98.94.11 | 22-Jan-2018 ... not suited for Fox v54.0.1 (64-bit)
Where did you find v0.98.94.10 ?
Palemoon is my regular browser ... v28.0.0 (32-bit) ... on a Win-7 PRO (64-bit) laptop

If you look at the screenshot again you will see that MC is using the paid PRO version of Fireshot.bawldiggle wrote:@ Moonchild

I think it also requires an installed program. If that is incorrect please correct me.

Re: Fireshot 0.98.89 add-on no longer compatible
Hello friends,
As a developer of the FireShot extension, I'm glad to say, that FireShot now officially supports Pale Moon (https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/take-page-screenshot)
I checked the report and found, that there's a strange browser behavior making the feature "Capture Selection" useless, so I made an investigation and found a temporary solution. The version 0.98.95.2 contains the code to override this strange behavior.
P.S. If developers are interested in this problem, which I'm certain is a bug in the browser code, I'll be glad to provide additional info. In brief, the browser is sending a strange payload to the mousemove event handler, which causes jitter, when the mode "Capture Selection" is launched. Additionally, there are some minor bugs, which I had to override too in the 0.98.95.2 release to make FireShot usable.
