- New Features In Version 5.0
- ------------------------------------------------
- WOW - Everyone's wish list has been implemented in this version
- plus some of our own. Look at all of the these new features:
-
- -> Capture using Hot Keys or our unique capture tool.
- -> Capture a USER PRE-DEFINED area. (this is great!)
- -> Include the cursor in captures.
- -> Mark any area to capture it.
- -> Capture any Windows menu.
- -> Capture client area.
- -> Capture entire window.
- -> Capture the Windows Desktop.
- -> Capture directly to the printer.
- -> Comprehensive documentation
-
- -> A new file open dialog with a PREVIEW button allows you to view a file
- before you open it.
-
- -> Automatic File Name Incrementation during screen captures. This makes
- it much easier to track down a certain capture window during a session.
-
- -> A new Toolbar that encapsulates the most commonly used commands.
-
- -> Capture Directly To The Printer - Yes Print Screen For Windows!
-
- -> Printed Image Scaling Options and Improved printer control
- You can now specify exactly how large or small to print an image on the
- currently selected paper in your printer. In addition you can select the
- beat fit to page option which will do the calculations necessary for the
- best possible quality printout The third option lets you tell the printer
- to stretch the image to fill the page completely with the image.
-
- -> Drag and Drop support for Windows 95 and NT 3.51
- Now you can drag bitmap and rle files from the Explorer or Program Manager
- and drop them on GrabIt Pro to open them. GrabIt Pro makes a wonderful
- graphics clipboard when you are working with a large number of images.
- Open them in GrabIt Pro and copy them to other sources as needed.
- GREAT when your working on documentation and you need your screen shots
- handy for reference and inclusion in your document.
-
- -> Right Mouse Button Menu
- Now you can access the most often used functions by just clicking the
- right mouse button on any GrabIt Pro child window. You have the option
- of Opening a file, Saving a file, Copy or Paste, and Print all at the
- click of the right mouse button.
-
- -> "Mother May I?"
- GrabIt Pro will now ask you to be sure that before you end the
- program you have indeed saved to disk all your screen captures.
- This might just save you on one of those hectic days when you forgot
- about the 5 great screens you captured, but never saved.
-
- Remember To Use The System Menu
- -------------------------------
- Remember that when GrabIt Pro is minimized ALL of the capture commands
- are available from the system menu. Just Right click on the GrabIt Pro icon
- at the bottom of your desktop to display the system menu. This allows you
- to capture images without having the GrabIt Pro window in your way. When
- you are done with a capture session restore GrabIt Pro to its normal size
- window by double clicking on it. All of your captures will be ready to view
- with each capture in its own child window.
