Portable MiniCap Changelog

What's new in Portable MiniCap 1.42.01

Jan 26, 2023
  • [Feature] Added -capturehwndat commandline parameter
  • [Improvement] Noticed significant slow capture on some window captures, due to minicap trying to use PrintWin capture mode and failing; this mode is no longer attempted by default (see -trypwcapmode to reenable)
  • [Feature] Added -trypwcapmode tells minicap to try using the PrintWindow capture mode which was used in some older version of windows for minicap older than v1.42
  • [Bugfix] Sometimes printing without printer preview would fail with generic printer driver error, due to no printer document title being set.

New in Portable MiniCap 1.39.01 (Apr 2, 2018)

  • [Improvement] Removed a flash of the main interactive window when it was unnecessary in processing commandline.
