Fireshot Pro in Edge Chromium seems to be missing bluring a selection.

Question

Hi

I switched from Chrome to Edge Chromium a while back. However, the transition has not been great.

1)When you select an part of an image , the only options are copy, crop and invert in the right-hand menu so noBlur

2) the fonts are all over the place. e.g. annotation font is very large and does't seem easy to make smaller. Additionally, the settings display some text that is not rendered correctly e.g. Capturing settings

Windows 11 64-bit
FireShot Pro for Chrome v.1.12.18
Edge Chromium Version 117.0.2045.31 (Official build) (64-bit)

Happy to send a screen dump if asked.

I did look at the browser log but it didn't look very useful - can we make FireShot Pro show verbose debug logging .

Accepted Answer

Hello. Thank you for reporting. Happy to send a screen dump if asked. A short video would be much appreciated!

Answer

Hello. Thank you for the update. I checked the screenshots and I see the custom DPI being set at system level. A few thoughts: - Screenshot 2. Setting the custom DPI makes all the elements grow accordingly, including images and scroll bars - that we see on the second screenshot showing the Editor's GUI. The left panel should correctly handle this - we'll fix this in one of the next updates. - Screenshot 1. The system font should handle this, I'll double-check that. At the moment, the text font ('system font') can be altered through the right properties panel, when you select the annotation.

Finally, any news on my favourite feature, the missing blur menu item? It's hidden because of wrong items positioning when a custom scale is activated. To change it, please right click Desktop, select 'Display settings', and change the Scale value under the 'Scale & layout' section. I'm curious, what value does it have now?

Answer

This is weird - I just tried to play with the Scale on my updated Win 11 and couldn't change it. No matter what scale I entered, the controls and text remained the same. I'm pretty sure it worked before. There's a scroll bar on your second screenshot (FireshotProwithithMissingBlurMenuItem.png) at the left part of the image. Can you notice it's much wider than usually? Can you please suggest what option on Windows affects that size? Btw have you located the elusive and much anticipated Blur button ? Found a quick temporary solution to override this problem: instead of looking for that button to press it, please use a hotkey 'Ctrl + B'.

Answer

I'm sure this is an OS specific (not browser-specific) problem. The interface uses bigger fonts and other control elements, and presently FireShot cannot handle this problem properly. As soon as I understand how to re-create such a problem on our test configuration, I'll be able to research this problem and find a fix to it.
