TOSC v0.3

I found the missing piece in the puzzle, and now TOSC (aka The Open Screen Capture) is working even if the app is in the background. I mean you can now start the capture by clicking on the floating window (let’s call it radar?).

You can download the new binary here:  theopenscreencapture_0_3.sis

I havent uploaded the new source code yet (lack of time), but there is only one line changed (added actually): in the AppUi the following method is called:

IgnorePointerEventsWhenInBackground(EFalse)

    This is because I use Linux, and the Symbian SDK is not available for it, I had to make an alternative build method. But you can create easily an MMP project for it: just take the helloworld application for example, add all the sourcefiles, libaries. After a few trial&errors it should work.
    Since I got a new job, I don’t have any spare time now, so I cannot create the MMP project file now… but maybe I will in a few weeks.

    Where are the shots saved? I’m using a Motorola Z8, and I can not find them..

    If I remember right, they supposed to be saved on the root of the memory card. However I tested it only with SE, so the memory card drive might be different in the Z8. Is it D: or E: ?

    It’s E: :(

    I just looked in the code, and it tries to save to D: …
    I don’t have the environment setup or the time, but if somebody wants to play with it, the code can be found at http://www.sf.net/projects/tosc (you can use CVS to get the code). The bug is in function CTheOpenScreenCaptureAppUi::MakeScreenshot() in file theopenscreencaptureappui.cpp.
