It's pretty hard to know how big a file is going to be before recording it... both suggestions would require knowing how big the file is...

Not really All recording data is stored in a string, so I could just measure the size of that.

Anyway... Version 1.3 is here!

I've permanently fixed all of the bugs where Lightshot wouldn't record some things, and in doing so, shortened it by about 750 lines No more imitating shell!

True. but you need to make sure you calculate the bytes right from the string. as the quick tests I did, #chars in a string != file size, there are extra bytes to a file.

Hmmm... Would those extra bytes be much of a problem? If anything, the extra bytes would be good to ensure you don't go over the filesystem size limit.

Exiting with a file system size limit warning wouldn't be too hard at all. I'll add it now

No what I mean is #string < file size.

Probably because the file contains metadata, like the locaition, name, last modified, first created, ect. An estimation is normally what recording programs do anyway. So I would just do print(#data+100) or something

Hmm 1.3 doesn't work

Dude, you are 100% Genius. Email, Internet, AND a recorder? NICE!

[superaxander]

There's a bug when you record the edit program the last ] in the menu is not there to fix this use [=[string]=] or [==[string]==] to fix the bug and let lua don't end the string too fast

Once you have typed that, try running startupanim.nfa as a program.

It reads it as any other .nfa file

Fixed it! Thanks for reporting it. Sorry, it took longer than expected.

Hey all,

Got a bit bored this afternoon, so I gave Lightshot a GUI, and it now runs the startup file straight away (if it exists), instead of the shell.

Enjoy!

Bug report

• Cannot click on buttons, only the text.
  
• No way to go back to main menu if wrong button clicked
  
• When clicking '- Update Lightshot' it should change text to say "Checking for update..." so users don't just think the GUI has hung until the 'No updates found comes up'
  
• Cannot press -> arrow to move from 'Record' to 'Update, or 'Animation' to 'Exit', logical structure of the menu would make you think you could
  
• After recording is saved, seems something goes wrong when going back to the shell. the shell prints in black, not yellow.
