is this a known bug or do I have issues some how on my end.

anyway have the data and screeies if you need them to see what I am talking about.

Edit: gah had ver 12 got 13 noiw will try that when I logg in.

yeah, please, make sure to test with latest version. as avery points out, it is better to run EU in 32-bit color, and it is also recommended to set a medium gamma (or, at least, not too extreme).

if you keep getting parsing errors, send me the screens in BMP format, please (jdegre@gmail.com); usually the fix doesn't take me more than 5 minutes, but i _need_ the faulty screens.

Hmm.. for me the scanner doesnt work at all.. Starts fine, but when I press alt+prnt scr(running in windowed mode), it just writes word "data" to the log textbox and nothing else happens. JRE 6 update 6 is installed(on winxp sp2) and the scanner is latest.

You don't have to press Alt+prnt scn, i run in windowed mode and have always just pressed prnt scn on it's own. Give it a go like that.

Tried that as well, but still the same.. it doesn't start to scan.

do you get any message after "Data!" ?
you should get something, even if it does not scan the skills properly; something like "Nothing found!".

in any case, could you send me one of your screens (in BMP or PNG) to check in my test PC?

@octo: you can press PrntScrn in windowed mode, that's correct, but i'd recommend pressing Alt+PrntScrn to capture only the active window. it should be much faster processing each screen.

First of all, big thanks for fixing Skill Scanner Jdegre!

I have tested version 0.13 in window mode, everything was captured flawlessly

Maybe a silly question, but you do have the skill screen open, right?

and (kind of obvious too) in non-translucent mode.

the old skill window was mildly translucent when non-focused, so the scanner could work with or without focus on it.

but this one is extremely translucent, so it is impossible to OCR it, unless you focus on it and make it opaque.

Yes it was open and non-translucent.
Anyway, it is ok now.. the problem wasn't in the scanner, I reinstalled java and it works now
Thanks for the great tool

I use windowed mode and when I press just Print Screen on my computer it captures only the active window.
