Version History
v1.42.01 - June 27, 2022
| • | [Feature] Added -capturehwndat commandline parameter |
| • | [Improvement] Noticed significant slow capture on some window captures, due to minicap trying to use PrintWin capture mode and failing; this mode is no longer attempted by default (see -trypwcapmode to reenable) |
| • | [Feature] Added -trypwcapmode tells minicap to try using the PrintWindow capture mode which was used in some older version of windows for minicap older than v1.42 |
| • | [Bugfix] Sometimes printing without printer preview would fail with generic printer driver error, due to no printer document title being set. |
v1.40.01 - June 24, 2018
| • | [Feature] Added -capturemon # commandline parameter to capture the screen of a specified monitor |
v1.39.01 - Apr 2, 2018
| • | [Improvement] Removed a flash of the main interactive window when it was unnecessary in processing commandline. |
| • | [Feature] Added -noerr commandline parameter to suppress any error messages on failure to save file; commandline -exit parameter will be processes as if file was saved. |
| • | [BugFix] The -stderr commandline parameter will be obeyed even on failure to write image file to disk. |
v1.38.01 - Dec 30, 2017
| • | [Bugfix] Fixed a long standing error that could cause a program fault on exit. |
| • | [Improvement] MiniCap now uses a configdir file to determine if it runs portably or not, and saves settings in appropriate directory (local or in MyDocments) as appropriate. |
v1.36.01 - Sep 15, 2016
| • | [Feature] Added -printmargin commandline parameter to change printing margins. |
v1.35.01 - July 30, 2016

v1.33.01 - Nov 28, 2015
| • | [MinorFeature] Added -escapequit option. If user hits escape while doing a region or window capture, the program will exit (rather than return to minicap interface); should be used in conjunction with -save and -exit to prevent minicap interface from ever showing. |

v1.21.01 - 6/7/10
| • | [BugFix] The -exit commandline option was not being obeyed if user used -print but didn't save. |
v1.20.01 - 5/3/10
| • | [Feature] Updated with latest Screenshot Captor capture code. |
| • | MajorFeature] Completely re-rewritten new method for capturing Aero Glass themed Semi-transparent windows on Vista and Windows 7. Based on an approach described by Ian Griffiths (http://www.interact-sw.co.uk/iangblog/2007/01/30/recoveralpha), with several tweaks for automatic border detection and improved color handling. A new options tab ("Windows Capturing") was added to control the various options for it. Note that by default SC will preserve the entire transparency recovered from the window; this will allow you to composite the screenshot in graphics editing software with it's original semi-transparent regions and effects. By default SC will attempt to remove the shadow effect imparted by Aero, but you can change this via commandline options. |
| • | [BugFix] Was refusing to capture certain windows like Google Chrome; errors in capturing are now reported better. |
