using SGrab with a delay , open the menu & wait for the delay to finish does not work. SGrab has an arexx port (appears to be open) so i was hoping to use that, but the commands did not seem to work. Maybe because but it needs easyrexx.library (68k) and i therefor believe some OS4 stub ? The latter is not on OS4 Depot though (neither an rexxtricks.library stub , which i liiked for in an other context)
Is there an other grab utility that could handle this?
It seems here that the delay is halted (the delay is counted down in Fastview's window under the right Listview as long as i don't open the menu) when i open the menu
Is this a feature not enabled in the free version ?
As ztools is in my shopping bag, and i still am not able to pay for it, (see Amistore thread) i hope that problem will be solved soon.
I added this feature months ago => in the old os4depot version.
1) specify a delay, for example 5 secondes
2) double-click on "Workbench screen" in screens list to grab the whole screen OR hit "free grab" button to grab a part of the screen OR double-click on a Windows name in the "Windows list" to grab a specific window
3) now you have 5 seconds to prepare your desired screen, for example by opening the menu that you want to grab
4) the grab will be taken when the right countdown reachs 0 seconds.
5) if you have checked "Hide" checkbox (default), the FastView window will be hidden and will not appear in the grab.
@Samo79 Thank you but I doubt that html or guide file are more read ;)
@Broadblues The grab are stored in RAM:FastView_Capture_Tyymmdd_hhmmss.JPG
No pattern based name, good idea, I will add it.
@JosDuchIt You are right, menu grabbing works only if you grab the screen and not a specific window. Maybe because the menu is not part of the window ?
If you want to grab a menu, you need to make it non blocking in GUI prefs.
What else can you do with this mode? Are there drawbacks to it ?
It simply means that the workbench isn't locked, so appliaction continue to run as normal. I'm not aware of any drawbacks, perhspa some ancient peice of software might trip up but I never came across one that did.

Thanks for pointing this out. I do note from the .guide that easyrexx indeed is optional
Your post made me look at the SGrab options. for GRABSCRKEY & GRABWINKEY i used the examples given (in the SGrab.guide (making use of the PrintScreen button, as well as others eg GRABSCRKEY="shift alt s" GRABWINKEY="f9"
without succes.
I am probably doing something wrong, but can't find oud what. C keyboard that served me well, i guess it can't be a keyboard issue.
edit: some progress noted GRABWINKEY="F9" works GRABSCRKEY="shift alt s" too (edit2)
