Rumshot v0.1 Public Preview

Hey all,

I said that I would try and get a build out when I had the last build of Nubs out for everyone, so here you are. This is really just a preview. It's functional but by no means has been tested, at all. However, there's no code in this that will hose your system, so it's safe to try.

Feel free to throw out a bunch of suggestions, but please keep in mind that the interface isn't likely to change much, if at all.

Rumshot REQUIRES the .NET 2.0 Framework. Go here if you dont have it already. No, you can not use a beta version of 2.0 with this.

PLEASE DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT RESOURCE USAGE. I'LL JUST END UP IGNORING YOUR POST

This preview expires (will cease to run) on May 1st, 2006.

And as always...

READ THE README OR PERISH IN A PIT OF DESPAIR.

And just to wet your chops...

Rumshot in action:

And the actual preview that Rumshot generated for me:

Forgot to mention...

What I would love to get from people are your borders (themes as they are called in Rumshot) in the original PSD or PNG format. I can't do a thing with them if theyre already composited with part of your desktop. Borders with multiple layers will also help out bigtime, as I'm working on something pretty keen for this.

Freakin' awesome

Your my hero!

Very nice, thank you

This is fantabulous work! Can't wait for the fully functional release.

PS Bald members of A-S need not fear!.....You are not obliged to read the readme but unfortunately the Pit of Despair™ will get you instead...Sorry

Runs great, but parts of the rumshot window shows in the screenshot.

#377035

Andrew this app is amazing so easy to use.

BTW after read your "read me" file and your original post your a sick and funny guy "Mwahaha!" :cool:

Complete pleasure doing business with you

#377038

None of the window shows up in ym screenshots

Brilliant job really, Thank you so much

#377064

Works great for me. Excellent as always.

For templates why not ask Ozzpot if you can use some of his http://www.ozzdesign.com/SnapShooter/SnapShooter.php

#377073

Great Work.. Seems to run fine here ( Any one guessed how to or were able to change the frames yet?)

Is there a way to possibly move the screenshot by moving the picture instead of the whole window? I, and a lot of others, like to include the taskbar and the way it is now it's very difficult and counter-intuitive. If I, say, wanted to take a screenshot of my dock, I couldn't because the button to save the screenshot would be off screen. Do you see where I'm going with this?

I'm not saying I'm an expert when it comes to VB.net but I'm sure it's not extremely difficult - and perhaps even easier - to allow the user to move the screenshot instead of the window.

Also, as with Nubs, why do you seperate the themes folder from the application folder? It like organization and as such folders of the same application should remain together.

Rumshot is also using 26,000+...I know it's just a preview and hasn't been streamlined but this is a bit much for a simple screenshot program, no?

Other than, it's a nice addition...

#377171

Why isn't this on the front pa.... oh. nevermind

This is great! I can't wait to try it out!

Will boarders for SnapShooter work with this?

#377179

Sranshaft...I hate to be so blunt but...

If 'you' think it's easy to implement a feature, write it yourself. To say otherwise is off-base and quite frankly, it's irritating.

If you dont like the resource usage, dont use the app.

To answer your questions about seperating the theme/data folder, do some research into multiple users on windows machines and the proper way to handle installations of applications across multiple user accounts/policies and you'll see why.

sean.fletcher - sorry man, snapshooter borders wont work out of the box with this. You would have to convert them to Rumshot theme formats.

Blitz - read the readme, dangit.

To everyone else, thanks for the excitement and comments. Please do be sure to let me know about any bugs you find.

#377191

Lol I did it says --> The theming has only been tested with the default theme.

Adding themes may have unexpected results! (And besides, you dont know what format they have to be in! Mwahaha!). The theme directory is empty so is the frame hardwired into the exe?

#377195

really great app, thanks for this Andrew ^^

edit: woah, weird behavior, I can't use RumShot while Nubs is open. o_0

#377202

Could you teach us how to make another skin for this, as in the skins made by ozzpot that I want to use to be compatible with this program? Or is it like a "drag the psd" type ?

#377204

Ok works good, but I have one problem:

When I click the "Take Screenshot" it takes the screenshot then I move it lets say down at the dock and then I click the "Save Screenshot", then I save it to where I want, then when I look at the preveiw I don't see the dock just the top left corner. Look:

(I tried it a couple times to make sure it wasn't just me:

That is the screenshot I took of the dock but I got that, is it like stuck to take a screen of that part of screen? Here is another I tried and it took it in the same spot:

It is still great so far, I hope you can fix whatever problem I am having though...

#377209

Woah there Andrew...you really need to calm down. There's no need to blast me like you have. I know how hard it is to make a program. I'm not some **** that hasn't programmed even his VCR.

I was only offering some helpful critisism. From now on I won't. It's fine with me if all you want to read is 'this is great!' - 'what a fantastic app!' 'blah blah blah!' If you read my post I never said it was 'EASY' to do that. I was just stating that I, and probably a few here, will find it strange to have to move the ENTIRE window instead of the screenshot. It was a suggestion, an opinion and not a demand. I even stated I wasn't an expert so I really don't know the ins and outs of the language.

I had been excited about this program from the very beginning and regularly checked to see the progress of it. Now though...I think I'll just stick to using photoshop for my screenshots.

Thanks.

Blitz - Haha ok I can understand that Guess I was trying to play around too much in the readme! I should have more some stuff for you guys in the coming week.

Ghil - Yeah, I goofed and used the same mutex for keeping it running as a single instance! Whoops!

blaze - I'll be releasing again with some sample themes (kinda like I did for Nubs).

Trent Pivot - Try as I might I can't duplicate that problem. Tested on three machines and it works like you expected it to. I just can't get it to screw up.
