Filename options not working when using Capture list of URLs...

Question

Plugin version: Fireshot Pro for Chrom v.1.12.18 (64bit)
OS type and version: Windows 10 Pro
Version of browser: Chrome Version 121.0.6167.141 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. From plugin > Miscellaneous > Options
2. Editor options > Click to setup
3. Specify template options. I used the following: %y%m%d-%H%M%S-%u
4. From Splitshot plugin > Capture list of URLs...
5. Add URLs to capture, Save As PDF, capture entire page, create separate folder.
5. Click on start.

I was expecting the filenames that were saved to be using the template stated above. Instead, I see the new folder created named 'FireShot batch job (yyyy-mm-dd hh-mm-ss)' and inside I see the default filename template of 'FireShot Capture %n - %t - %u_- $d.pdf' which is a bummer. It does use the template filename specified in the options if I capture any other way.

I bought this tool specifically for capturing from URL list for a compliance tool. Can we get a fix for that?

Thanks!

Accepted Answer

Thank you and please excuse us for this issue. This option was mistakenly restricted to the Lite version, so you need to temporarily switch to Lite in order to change it: - please open Task Manager, switch to the Details tab and find the fireshot-chrome-plugin.exe process. - Terminate it and return back to FireShot. - Use the main FireShot menu to access Options where you can configure the template. - When you're done, please restart your browser to return to FireShot Pro.

Answer

In task manager, with the broswer opened, not any voice about fireshot as in applications list as in background processes there should be a fireshot-chrome-plugin.exe process under the 'Details' tab, not the 'Applications' or 'Processes'. The Task Manager should be set into the 'More details' mode. Also, the Lite version has a limitation of only capturing the visible part of the page, but the primary reason to purchase this tool was the full page capture. Can we get a fix for this? Thanks! As mentioned previously, switching to Lite is a temporary action to change the template. Once the template is configured, you can go back to Pro by restarting the browser.

Answer

You're welcome. I'd much rather capture pages from a list of URLs on a Windows box since it powers through such tasks with ease. If I run the same tasks on a MacBook, it behaves as though it's being tortured to death. I haven't had any problem using FireShot on Mac M1.
