- HyperSnap-DX ver. 4.02.00
-
- HyperSnap-DX 4 is a screen capture tool for Win
- 9x, ME, 2000 and NT. Captures screens from
- standard desktop programs and hard-to-grab
- DirectX/Direct3D, 3Dfx Voodoo and Glide mode
- games. HyperSnap-DX 4 even snags frames from
- many DVD players and other video software. The
- program can auto-scroll and concurrently capture
- long web pages and other documents, enabling it
- to grab more than is visible on the screen. The
- program integrates with the Windows clipboard,
- and has new painting and editing features, too.
- Version 4.x contains many new or improved
- features requested by our users. These include
- improved handling of 3dfx 32 bit color mode
- screens, a completely new set of color and image
- manipulation tools, improved printing, tight
- integration with the Windows system tray, new
- painting tools added to the button palette, the
- ability to set the Windows wallpaper, "send by
- e-mail" feature within the program that lets you
- send captures across the Internet, and a
- comprehensive help system that provides
- context-sensitive "pop-up" help for virtually
- every aspect of the program.
-
- HyperSnap-DX ver. 4 is distributed on "try
- before you buy" principle. If used without a
- license, it will add Hyperionics stamp to images
- that you capture or edit with it. To purchase a
- license, visit our web site at

- Changes Log:
- ============
-
- 2001.04.17 - ver. 4.02.00
- -------------------------
- New game capture code to snap games that use
- DirectInput technology in "exclusive mode" - these
- games could not be captured previously.
- Modify the capture code to always capture 24 bits
- per pixel bitmap, if the screen was in 16 bpp
- "high color" mode. Due to some limitations in
- Windows bitmap format, this provides both better
- color fidelity, and better compatibility with older
- programs that import graphics.
- Fixed - HS-DX 4 would sometimes appear to hang
- if you were trying to capture a window with
- auto-scroll, and auto-scrolling of this window
- was not possible.
- Fixed - "invert black and white" for 256 color
- bitmaps did not work correctly, for example -
- copy and paste it to MS-Word, the image was still
- without the inversion.
- Plugged a small GDI resource leak in Region and
- Multi-Region captures modes.
-
- 2001.03.15 - ver. 4.01.11
- -------------------------
- Two bugs found and fixed:
- - Copy to clipboard, if the image was using
- palettes, would result in incorrect color when
- pasted to other applications, that prefer to
- paste DIB format.
- - Saving to TIFF files with PACKBIT compression
- would result in incorrect files.
-
- 2001.03.08 - ver. 4.01.10
- -------------------------
- Fixed - "best fit" option for printing would not
- work, if printing without opening Page Setup.
- Fixed - image resolution value would be ignored
- in copy operations.
- Fixed - automatic paste to MS Word 2000 would not
- work, at least under Windows 2000.
- Modified the way file names are incremented (numbers
- added to them) in Quick Save. Previously the first
- group of digits in the file name would be
- incremented, so you would get names like 01-01,
- 02-01, 03-01 etc. Now the names will be 01-01,
- 01-02, 01-03 etc. There will be no change if only
- one group of digits is in the file name, or no
- digits at all.
- Fixed the issue of HyperSnap-DX taking away window
- focus when started hidden or with -snap command
- line option (previously -snap:awin would not work
- correctly).
- Added -exit command to make HyperSnap exit after
- some operations requested from the command line.
- Fixed "Quick Save" operation to also work for
- -snap command line options, including file name
- increments.
-
- 2001.01.16 - ver. 4.01.09
- -------------------------
- Fixes to timed capture, not to display errors when
- "continue on error" option is selected.
- Fixed not to display unnecessary "could not
- register hot keys" message upon startup in some
- circumstances.
- Fixed -dumpopts command line option, previously
- would not save Page Setup and printer options.
-
- 2001.01.05 - ver. 4.01.08
- -------------------------
- Some more small fixes to timed "quick save" when
- used with "special capture" function (games and
- DVD) - previously it would behave strange in this
- scenario, trying to snap both the game/DVD image,
- and Windows desktop at the same time. Fixed.
-
- 2001.01.04 - ver. 4.01.07
- -------------------------
- Fixed timed auto-capture - previously would not
- execute "Quick Crop and Scale" operations except
- for the very first capture.
-
- 2000.12.21 - ver. 4.01.06
- -------------------------
- Corrected bug in licensing code, introduced in v.
- 4.01.05 - would crash HyperSnap-DX program when
- trying to enter a new license. I'm very sorry
- about it! - Greg
-
- 2000.12.20 - ver. 4.01.05
- -------------------------
- HyperSnap-DX will now remember the size of a "new"
- image, which you set with "Resize" button on the
- drawing toolbar.
- Added saving and restoring of pen width and color,
- and eraser width upon exit/restart of the program.
- Added -ra command line parameter, to restore
- "advanced" options when the program is restarted.
- These "advanced" options currently include "Capture
- Settings" - "Crop & Scale" enable mode, and "View
- & Edit" selection. Normally restoring these options
- in other than their default state could confuse
- beginner users of HyperSnap-DX, so we use this
- command line argument to prevent this confusion.
-
- 2000.12.11 - ver. 4.01.04
- -------------------------
- Fixed - saving 8 bpp images (e.g. GIF) would again
- give blue tint to grey color.
- Fixed - right mouse click during capture would not
- work on Windows NT 4.
- Fixed - the delay time for capture was not saved
- when HS-DX 4 was exited and restarted.
-
- 2000.12.04 - ver. 4.01.03
- -------------------------
- Fixed - "Pan Last Region" would increase the size
- by one pixel each time it was invoked.
- Fixed - scale image, then edit/copy - uses incorrect
- selection rectangle (should copy entire image, copied
- the size of previous selection).
- Fixed auto-scroll in 32 bit color mode, which would
- not work on some machines.
- Fixed - now will not restore HS-DX window after a
- cancelled capture.
- Fixed a crash on some old ATI graphics card in
- Region capture or Crop, when zoom area was displayed.
- Fixed - if using quick save with quick print, and
- printing the file name with %file% or %path% macro,
- the previous file name would be printed.
- Fixed wrong text (FileBX license) on the "License"
- dialog box.
-
- 2000.11.21 - ver. 4.01.02
- -------------------------
- More small corrections:
- The "Change" button under "Quick Save" tab
- of "Capture Settings" would sometimes become
- disabled
- Command lines parameter correction:
- -save:gif snap.bmp
- would save a GIF file named "snap.bmp", now it
- will correctly change extension to make
- "snap.gif"
- The -open:filename command line parameter may be
- now also spelled:
- -open filename
- which seems to be more logical.
-
- 2000.11.18 - ver. 4.01.01
- -------------------------
- Several small corrections - fixed a difficulty
- in license entry (and an occasional crash there).
- Fixed a crash when trying to change "stop timed
- capture" hot key.
- Fixed Multi-Region capture, would not align
- correctly the regions, if one of them extended
- beyond the desktop.
-
- 2000.11.15 - ver. 4.01.00
- -------------------------
- The first full release of ver. 4, after a long
- period of thorough beta tests.
-
- 1997.04.16 - ver. 3.00 released
- -------------------------------
- The first of ver. 3.xx release went out that
- day. A long list of changes in subsequent
- versions 3.xx deleted from here.
-
- 1995.04.13 - ver. 2.20 released
- -------------------------------
- SnapShot/32 ver. 2, later renamed to HyperSnap,
- released that day. A long list of changes in
- subsequent versions 2.xx deleted from here.
