Capturing Windows and Monitors at the same time

[Ozzadar]

Is this possible? If not I have 2 questions:

1) Was there a reason why not? Fundamental difference in how they're parsed? 2) I havent fully dug in yet; but how difficult would it be to allow IScreenCaptureManager to run more than once? If i could have 2 I'd be able to combine monitor and windows no problem

            //you must ONLY HAVE ONE INSTANCE RUNNING AT A TIME. Destroy the first instance then create one!
            assert(!ScreenCaptureManagerExists);
            ScreenCaptureManagerExists = true;

YUP u can capture both at the same time

Actually I take that back I dont think i Added support for that, but it should be easy to add https://github.com/smasherprog/screen_capture_lite/blob/master/src/ThreadManager.cpp Change the else if to another separate if

IF it works, issue a PR on it please

The issue of capturing both windows and desktops at the same time seems alot deeper than just that if statement.

Also need to allow the passing in of both a vector<Monitor> and vector<Window> to the CaptureConfiguration; cascading into needing new sets of callbacks and the callback signatures being baked into Thread_Data_->ScreenCaptureData and Thread_Data_->ScreenCaptureData .

I'll take another look at it later and see if there's a different approach that I can take without refactoring a large chunk. If you have any more suggestions; feel free to let me know and I'll look

I supposed U could have 2 seperate screen captures as well one with windows and the other with monitors?

Windows and monitors are fundamentally different internally. So, you would have to create multiple capture objects. let mw know if this doesnt work.

I think the best approach is to create multiple capture objects. Going to close this for now unless something new needs to be added
