![]() ![]() Maybe Parallels VM is reporting incorrect screen coordinates to me, when I call the Windows API to get a screen rectangle of any window that is scaled up. I remember that in early versions of Windows 8 on high resolution settings, there were vaguely similar problems, but they want away after several patches by Microsoft. Any chances of this to be sorted out? Regards, Petr So it seems, that all these apps including HyperSnap are relying on the same APIs when determining coordinates and sizes of the windows, and they are acting incorrectly when facing combination of high res screen + 200% Scaling + window of non DPI aware application. I have seen the same issues with incorrect determination of windows coordinates when using Skype Screen-Sharing. If I change Windows compatibility parameters for Skype (switching on "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings") than HyperSnap works fine with it, but Skype becomes so small I can't read anything. :-) The same is true for SAP and 1C. But some - and among them those two I have to capture most often - don't (,, and even Skype). MS Office 2010, FineReader, IE, Firefox). For majority of apps HyperSnap capture works just fine (e.g. And this breaks some applications and their integration with Windows. Parallels sets Windows 7 to run at 2880x1800 resolution and applies 200% scaling. Nevertheless HyperSnap captures active window (Ctrl+Shift+A) from these apps correctly.From my observation problematic are only applications, which are not "DPI aware". For the same applications, trying to make screenshots of windows (Ctrl+Shift+W) or buttons (Ctrl+Shift+B) produce strange results - selection areas and pictures are also moved top-left and reduced 50% both vertically and horizontally.For some applications when trying to make screenshot of the area with cursor pointing at specific field or button, after pressing Ctrl+Shift+R and just before screen is switching to the region selection mode, cursor jumps left and top away from the previous position (exactly half of it's previous H and V coordinates).:-) It is working, but some of the functions are not working as I hope: ![]() ![]() And under Windows I reinstalled "my precious" HyperSnap. So my current setup is: Windows 7 under Parallels VM inside MacOS X. I have to use both MacOS and Windows for different work scenarios. Hi! Recently switched from good-old (meaning: "good, but old") ThinkPad T60 to MacBook Pro Retina 15". MacBook Pro Retina + Parallels + Windows 7 + HyperSnap - several issues ![]()
