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 :P All recording data is stored in a string, so I could just measure the size of that.

Anyway... Version 1.3 is here! :D

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 :D 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 :P

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 :P

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 :(

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.
