i guess you're running EU in high-res (1600x1200) or so? if so, this time is normal, although it can be highly optimized. in my case, i run EU in 1024x768, full-window, and it takes no more than 2-3 secs./panel.

something to remember is to press ALT + PrntScrn when in windowed mode. It would work fine by pressing just PrntScrn, but that would make my program to do extra work looking for the skills panel in your windows desktop

Ahh yes did not think too much about it Anyway great tool and even with 20 secs to parse better than do it by hand

Just tested version 0.4 yesterday ... Works perfectly with my setup (windowed mode, with prtsc key... also gamma works fine!)
Gave you a rep+ for the nice program! This gives me a lot of headaches less because now I don't have to use a calculator anymore!
NRF was nice... but this program is build much very userfriendly, way to go!

Keep up the good work!

Excellent, jdegre - how I have missed this functionality since 9.1 +rep
Works perfectly for me.

Is it possible for it to ignore irrelevant clipboard entrys? So that if it does not find the skill window, or you copy/paste text in another application, it ignores it transparently? As it is now, it kills other additions to the clipboard (copy/pasting text does not work).

Out of curiosity, which takes more time - finding the skill window or parsing the skills?

did you try with latest version (0.04) ?... the copy/pasting not working should be also a consequence of a bug with version 0.03, the same bug that created interferences with PEAss, AutoScreen, etc; now, people are reporting that these inteactions are gone, and in fact, copy/pasting works fine for me in my machine...

the time spent finding the skill window depends heavily on you screen resolution. for me, at 1024, it takes no more than 1-2 second, but in 1600 it could take 6-7 seconds or more.
once the skill window is located, the parsing time is the same for all resolutions (around a couple of seconds).

So i buggfixxed it myself.. started the game in windowmode, captured, restarted.. works like a charm

I have the same issue as Zabler, whenever I run fullscreen and tab out only the "frame" of the program is visible, the inside is filled with whatever was on the EU screen. Moving another program over it replaces it with that content. Seems like it's not updated somehow. I still works as supposed, except that you can't see it. You can even export the skills if you manage to hit the invisible button...but needless to say that's a little tricky. The dialog that pops up asking where to save the info is also invisible, except the title bar.

Update: if you manage to hit the export button, then close the dialog button, the bottommost info window and the buttons become visible again, but the skills panel and most other stuff is still invisible.

Problem is solved for me by turning off anti-aliasing.
I tried using both the CL option for using AA and the NVIDA Control Panel thing of forcing it to use it and both methods result in the aforementioned problem. When disabling it it works like it should.

If I remember correctly, and since PEAss is mentioned a lot here, I have an AA problem with that too. This one prevents me from running EU after enabling AA in the CL; get the error message "Renderer creation error, DirectX renderer could not be created.", but forcing it through the NVIDIA CP works fine. Probably isn't the same issue as I don't get any error messages when using the skill scanner, but I'd rather give too much than too little info.

The program is very nice when it works.
