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:Â 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.

Thanks for your replay, I have created the MMP project and compiled successfully, thanks.

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.

[…] To take the screenshots on the G900 phone, I used the freeware program “TOSC version 0.3“.The download location that works is the link in this blog post: http://www.saxoft.com/wordpress/2006/11/08/tosc-v03/. […]

I just used this on my G900. Worked fine, except that PC Sync will not let you browse and copy the files in the root of the memory stick. All you can see there are the folders.
However, you can get the file to the computer using either “send as Bluetooth” or by moving the files into the PICTURES folder on the memory stick.
I have some snaps at http://jakob.engbloms.se/archives/495 to demonstrate that it worked.
Thanks for a good program!

Well yes, there should be many improvements… saving to the root of the mem card is not nice, but it’s open source, so anybody could fix this
