Feature Request: Add support for multiple screens #4

Closed vgf89 closed 3 years ago

vgf89 commented 3 years ago

I'd like to take a screenshot of all of my screens (I'm running 3 side-by-side) like Window's native screenshot function.

artem78 commented 3 years ago

Hmm... Not sure, is it possible. Also I have only one display, so will not be able to check this.

You mean in one file side by side?

vgf89 commented 3 years ago

Yes, preferably. Windows even stitches them together in the same layout that's set in the display settings, though I suppose that's less important.

Okay. I will try to implement this and let you know.

artem78 commented 3 years ago

Could you please show your monitors multiple settings and what area captured by Auto Screnshot? Is it the same screen, where program located?

vgf89 commented 3 years ago

Here's what Auto Screenshot captures. It doesn't matter which screen the Auto Screenshot window is on, it always captures my main display (in this case, Screen 2 is set as my Primary Display in the Windows display settings). 2020-12-07 14 29 39

Here's what the Print Screen button captures (I can paste this into Paint to save it like I did here, or if you hold the Windows Key and press the Print Screen key it'll automatically save into your pictures folder) Window Print Screen

Here's one more Print Screen screenshot where I turned Screen 1 vertical. Untitled2

Thanks a lot for detailed information and screenshots! It really helps me.

I added some fixes to AutoScreenshot and created test build - autoscreenshot_multiple_monitor_test_build.zip. Could you please try this? Unzip it to any directory and run. Let me know how it works now. Thanks.

vgf89 commented 3 years ago

Perfect! Here's a couple screenshots from that test build. My normal layout: 2020-12-08 11 45 43 Funky layout: 2020-12-08 11 51 04

Looks like you got it! Awesome!

Nice to hear, that it works fine now. Thank you for testing. I will include these changes in next release.
