Need a screenshot... LO 4.1.0 on WIn7

Hi :slight_smile:
Is anyone on Win7 and able to run 4.1.0 alongside whatever they are running at the moment?  Any chance of getting a screen-shot?

In Windows that is the

1.  Press the "Print screen" button, just above the "insert button, just above the arrow keys
2.  Open an image editor, such as Paint
3.  Ctrl V to paste the image from the clipboard into the editor
4.  "Save As" to save in a usable format, preferably Png

In Gnu&Linux that would have been

1.  Press the "Print screen" button, just above the "insert button, just above the arrow keys
Job done.

Of course if you upload to Nabble and give us the link that would probably be the best way to be able to share with a different mailing list.

I can help, just currently downloading 4.1.0, then will install and send some screenshots. I am currently using LO 4.0.4, and I am on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.

Tom, here three screenshots showing Calc, Impress, and Writer, respectively
(if you don't recognise the language, it's Swedish)....

PS : Using the Windows screenshot tool, found under «Accessories» is, in my
opinion, far superior to the keyboard technique you mention above....

​Keyboard shortcut aren't that bad if your objective is to upload pics to
internet.

A quick and efficient way of doing it is to use imgur:
- Open imgur, select "web upload"
- Capture *only* the currently active windows (by pressing Alt+PrintScreen)
- ​Go to the imgur window, press Ctrl+V to directly *paste* into the
website :slight_smile:

You can repeat the two final steps to put as many screenshot as you need;
when done press "Start Upload" in the imgur window and tadaa. It actually
avoid the need to create temporary image files on your computer, and
provide you with public links.

Of course I only cited imgur as an example, there is probably other service
that handle pasting images nicely.

I know I'm coming after the battle here, but it's a nice trick to know for
sending screenshot all around, and surely future versions of LO will also
need new screenshots :slight_smile:

Agreed, Gabriel, imgur's not half bad - and moreover, is not restricted to
Windows, either !...

Hi :) 
Ok, we have the 4.1.0 screenshots but now would like a comparison with an earlier version of LO, either 3.6.x or 4.0.x = still on on Win7.

Imgur might well be better for taking screen-shots on Win7.  I didn't know about it.  It sound shed loads better! :slight_smile:

The Alt+PrintScreen worked on the older Windows method of pasting into another app if you prefer to still use that old method.  The Alt+PrintScreen also works in the default Gnu&Linux systems which all seem to be a lot more sophisticated than the old Windows way.  There are several apps to choose from in Gnu&Linux.  The Docs Team experimented with a few before deciding on which one to recommend to their new members.  I'm not sure if Imgur has a time-delay setting and all that sort of thing.  It might do.

Anyway the point is that Win7 does have a nice screen-shot app but it's just a bit hidden.  Whichever way you take a screen-shot of 3.6.x or 4.0.x on Win7 is probably fine with the Marketing Team.

Hi :slight_smile:
I think this one has been solved already!!  M Henri seems to have already provided screenshot from another system also using Win7.

Total star!

Thanks and regards from

Calc, Impress, and Writer in Win7 to compare with the ones of the 4.1.0
versions I sent earlier. I hope they sufficed !...

Hi Tom

I have taken five screenshots of all of the LO apps, Base, Calc, Draw, Impress, Math and Writer, side by side two versions, 4.0.4.2 with 4.1.0.3 showing the differences on the default start-up screens. I'm just waiting for a confirmation of registration from Nabble as I have just signed up.

I will post all five screenshots (.jpg, not .png, allowing all five of them to be only 1.45MB in total size) on Nabble and then email the link.

Hi :slight_smile:
Many thanks :)  Lqtm.  It's been quite a while since i was last involved in something that developed so fast that different people were on different time-lines and threads got a tad confusing!

Thanks also to others that contributed to this thread.

Given how fast all this was done if anyone here is able to join the Docs Team to help them with screen-shots that would be great.  To avoid potential copyright issues they tend to take almost all screen-shots in Gnu&Linux but i think they still need a couple done in Windows.  Some were done in Mac just because that happened to be what the author was using at the time but again there might be some potential for copyright issues.  So Gnu&Linux is just the preferred platform if it's easy enough.

Tom, I can confirm that taking such screenshots is a breeze in such GNU
Linux distros as Ubuntu or Linux Mint. Just send a heads-up in the event....
