Set a delay.
Anonymous asked: What settings do I use to capture a very long web page?
Just leave the crop size set to infinite, and it should work. If it’s an “infinitely scrolling” page, you might have to interact, scroll manually, and then press cmd-return to capture without reloading (0.6.5+).
A few people have written describing a very odd issue: Paparazzi! randomly launching on them for no reason.
Two of these people mentioned using Folder Actions, so I figured Apple Events/AppleScript were involved. They were also all using 10.6 or 10.7.
Turns out, Folder Actions want to talk to System Events. On 10.8, Folder Actions Setup asks for System Events using its bundle ID (com.apple.systemevents
). However, on 10.7, it looks for it using its (deprecated) creator code ('sevs'
).
If System Events isn’t already running, Folder Actions somehow can’t find it via its creator code. (I’m fairly certain now that this is an Apple bug.)
TLDR: If you’re having Paparazzi! launch on you randomly, and you’re using Folder Actions, try launching /System/Library/CoreServices/System Events.app
manually. If the problem goes away, add it to your login items.
(Or stop putting off your upgrade to Mountain Lion.)
A few people have reported an issue with Paparazzi! where it will spontaneously launch or come to the foreground, interrupting their workflows. I can’t reproduce this, so if anyone is seeing this I woud appreciate any info that could help me track it down! (Console logs around the time it occurs, etc.)
Yeah, this was last Monday, and I forgot to post it here. :S
