How to Attach Animated Screen Capture Gifs to posts in threads ?

[KiloBravo]

Another General Forum question.

I was reading the post below and was wondering what folks are using to perform the screen capture and create the animated gif sequence to attach to the thread ?

[Reason not found but a solution] Button text color changes on mouse over

Maybe I am missing something here. In the designer, I place a button on my form and set the text color to something other than black. The WYSIWYG Designer shows the new text color. When I move the mouse over the button and then move out, the text color changes to black and stays that way...

I did a quick forum search but I didn't find the solution or at least it was not obvious to me.

Thanks!

That is a b4j project. I used a tool to create the animated gif: LICEcap.

Then I attached it, clicking on Insert-Full Image.

OK, I will take LICEcap for a spin! Thanks.

Not a lot of bells and whistles, but LICEcap does the trick.

I forgot from this nice tool.

I'm using ShareX now. It is an excellent tool for screenshots and gif captures. It is an open source project.

Is it better than LICEcap or... is it an Anywhere Software tool?

I'm kidding of course; I will try it

It does many more things.
Every new computer should be installed with:

1. Notepad++
2. B4X (at least one tool)
3. ShareX

It is on this level.

... and lmSnippetManager, of course

I was using https://gifcap.dev/, which is simple but did the job I needed.

WOW! Thanks for sharing it. I liked many of its features, and it has too many to be in so small size of < 8mb.
Good job by the author

I Google'd this list ... https://filmora.wondershare.com/screen-recording-tips/best-gif-recorder-windows.html

• GIF Screen Recorder
• LICEcap
• Fraps
• VClip
• ShareX
• ScreenToGif
• Gyazo
• Recordit

I will check out ShareX.

I have found Wireshark very helpful for Network (HTTP/S, TCP, UDP, Bluetooth, etc...) issues. I was working on a B4J/B4R project and someone mentioned it in a thread.
I installed it and solved my connection issue in 2 minutes!

I also noticed my ESP32 was sending a lot of connection requests/packets to IP addresses I never programmed into it ?!?

This topic may be worthy of a seperate thread ... What tools do you find useful in your B4X Development work ?

 

[AnandGupta]

I have been using "ScreenToGif", simple and small. But I liked many features of Share-X, checking now.

 

[LucaMs]

It seems obvious, now, that it is easy to get people to use a certain tool, so: go to all the programming sites and write about that great tool you discovered: B4X.

You can if your name is Erel; if your "name" is LucaMs no one will listen to you

 

[KiloBravo]

B4X there was nothing !


*** Curious if the semantics of that sentence translates to other languages ???
