You are so careful/attentive! What a good example! Thank you!
Although, I get more intereste on reference list currently.

[huyaowen]

嘿，楼上的老兄，你跑偏了，focus on the script pls.

[RobertL]

focus on the script pls.

The author can determine whether or not.

[huyaowen]

this script will release a lot of icons and progress step by step,step by step,step by step,then show many dialogs one by one. i can't help feeling a little boring.Can u help me?my author?

Give some suggestion and encouragement would be more appreciated I think.
Maybe the application is not good enough on user experience at the moment, but the author is whom have high qualities that I admired.

[huyaowen]

切身感受而已，软件体验确实要加强，简直无法直视，不停地一个提示接着一个提示的确不合适。趁作者离线说说，在线其实我也不好意思说。

[RobertL]

En, thank you. Maybe a better background user-defined browser check would be more effective.
嗯，是的，所以我没用..所以我只对后面引用的东西感兴趣，嘘。

I think I know what your talking about.

During the initial setup SavePictureAs has a lot of screens to dismiss.

I have thought about that and plan on reducing the screens and still present the same information.

I have been working on other improvements to SavePictureAs version 10.7 and have it almost ready to release.

I will consider reducing the amount of setup screens with version 10.8. The good news is that you only have to see those screens 1 time then SavePictureAs sits quietly in the system tray.

thanks for your interest in SavePictureAs.

Can you explain a little bit more on this?

[huyaowen]

thanks.Looking forward to your new version。

[RobertL]

Eh...Sorry, I didnt though it carefully.
I write my own custom made save page function roughly by similar procedure.

SavePictureAs works with over 25 browsers and all versions of windows since WinXP, but I have not been able to figure out how to get SavePictureAs to work with Microsoft Edge.

Currently, after the user presses their chosen hotkey SavePictureAs uses the right click menu to select Save Picture. This is being done by SavePictureAs sending shortcut keys while the right click menu is open, for instance IE is the letter s and FireFox is the letter v.

Shortcut keys do not work with the right click menu for Microsoft Edge.

I can't just simply arrow down to Save Picture because Save Picture is sometimes the 1st menu option, some times the 4th menu option and some times the 5th menu option.

I need suggestions on how to select Save Picture from the right click menu on Microsoft Edge.

thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I uploaded SavePictureAs version 11.0.

SavePictureAs now supports Microsoft Edge.

I would like some feed back on how well it works with Microsoft Edge.
thanks

Thanks for the compliment. I am glad you find it useful.

Wow! I love what this progam does! It works in Waterfox and Thunderbird, too. Setup is really tedious though - there is an awful lot to read for a program that is supposed to do one task well and the task is simple enough to understand.

I suggest to present the application like others - just a license agreement and simple questions about how to install it and maybe a short, introductory window explaining how to set the folder and hotkey settings (THE most important part). Everything else can be defaults and the info put into a help file. Even the icon-choosing for the tray icon - I'd just use a default one to start with and the user can change it later.

Another thing I would have liked to see are to use the system's colours by default. I never like it when a program uses it's own skins, but I like to change themes sometimes if the program has the option. For this program, I wish the menus had the system's Windows appearance (Windows 7 with aero enabled).

One thing I absolutely adore is that you allow win keys and make the hotkeys so easy to set without any limitation! Perfect for power-users like me!

Anyway, I'm going to give it a good try, and I appreciate you sharing!

On my Windows, the "SavePictureAs" dialogue has it's text cut off partway through. Looks like the panel is a bit too small.
