Description
Capture Online 11.2 was released on Nov. 30. 2011. The links point to the new installer, description coming soon.
Capture Online is an easy to use screenshot maker and uploader. It takes a screenshot of the entire screen or screen region and uploads it to web or uploads picture from the clipboard. Don't bother sending e-mails with the attached screenshot to one or many users, you'll just waste time waiting for the reply. Contact them directly in a chat to deliver the link and get a reply right away. The program is usable even from behind a firewall since it does
not use FTP protocol.
Usage
- Install.
- Type any UserID into the User ID field (up to 20 alphanumeric characters). This identifier is not case sensitive and will be used as a filename to store your screenshot on the server. You shouldn't use trivial names to minimize the probability of sharing the same ID with another user. Use "John_123-15" rather than "John". If you ocassionaly see someone else's screen, it's time to change your identifier :)
- Minimize the program.
- Right click the icon in systray whenever you want to capture and upload the screen ("Upload screenshot" menu item) or to upload an image that's currently in your clipboard ("Upload clipboard picture" menu item)
- Copy the link of uploaded screenshot from the configuration window using the "Copy URL" menu item and send it to the recipient.
If you use the application on a regular basis with your friends/colleagues, you can simply create a list of their IDs to access their screenshots without having to enter URLs into browser each time.

Requirements
.NET Framework 3.5Release notes
2011 R03
- complete GUI redesign
- heavy code refactoring and optimization
- runs in 64-bit mode where available
- requires .NET Framework 4
- added "Donate" button into the About window ;)
- reduced screen region selection rectangle flickering + decreased rectangle thickness to 2 pixels
- added menu subitem "All screens" for uploading/saving all screens at once
- setting are saved automatically on logout/sleep/shutdown
- fixed: white dots on a picture when capturing screen region (in some cases)
- menu item grouping is now more logical - items for screen upload are separated from those for screen saving.
- fixed: rare upload problem from beind a firewall - "100 Continue" status is not expected anymore. (RFC 2616 8.2.3)
- middle button mouse click resets parameters to their default values.
- clicking the systray baloon tooltip stores the URL of uploaded image into the clipboard.
- (!) MAJOR IMPROVEMENT: multiple images may be uploaded for a single User ID - each file gets its unique URL.
User ID should now be pretty random and kept private. Nobody can view your files without knowing your ID.
This allows to keep the workflow simple (no login) and makes it still possible to view/delete your uploads. - added icons for hiding User Id & Webcam Id.
- added random User ID & Webcam Id generator.
- added "Upload manager" to manage all uploads made with the current User Id.
- removed menu item "Delete from server" (moved to the new upload manager)
- removed "Friends" functionality (useless due to the fact that image URLs are unique for each upload)
- added manual webcam image capturing.
users with paranoia may remove webcam.dll form the application folder to completely disable this feature. - added URL "push" parameter for direct download (e.g. http://services.projee.com/co2/?=imageid&push=1)
- added checkbox "Always display upload description prompt"
Links of uploaded images may be prefixed by custom description.
Description may be added by right-clicking the upload menu items even if this checkbox is unchecked. - fix: images were always saved to disk with *.jpg extension in Windows XP.
- added URL "thumb" parameter for downloading image thumbnails (1=small,2=middle,3=large)
- Upload manager displays image previews, cached locally.
- added menu item for uploading file from disk (png,jpg,gif)
