Feature Request: Trim picture automatically with a given number of pixels (from settings) about greenshot

Please read this: https://github.com/greenshot/greenshot/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.md
We have no link from our website to the github repository, this is only ment for developers.

That said, this might be the problem reported here: https://greenshot.atlassian.net/browse/BUG-1890 and fixed (??) with our most recent (untested) builds: https://github.com/greenshot/greenshot/releases

If the problem was not solved by this, please report the issue in our ticket system (JIRA).

Just to let you know, it is NOT BUG-1890.
But you are right, in the newest release the Edit -> Auto crop works as expected and cut away the 1 pixel border from a Win10 captured window.

I'm not s sure, that forcing users to create an account on your JIRA (and on every other single projects bugtracker?) is the best way to get feedback from users. This is one of the big advantages of Github?

[Lakritzator]

Github is for developers, most users don't have a github account.
Anyway we started with our JIRA system before we got on GitHub, we do not want to force our users to move to GitHub either. It's impossible to satisfy everybody, and as we do the work for free I think it's fair that we at least decide on how WE work :)

We like JIRA much better, although it's a bit slow, as it has support for different development methodologies and more.

1.2.8.12 also did something with the corners, as Windows 7 had "round" corners we had to cut these for transparent captures... now everything is square again, so the cutting made things bad. This probably prevented the autocrop, as it only works on similar colors.

About the rectangle around the window, you are correct...
I actually reported this with Microsoft, but never got an answer from them:

I will check this, for me the rectangle is yellowish..

Made a build yesterday, maybe you can have a look.
It's in the releases: 1.2.9.20

Thanks a lot for your very fast change!
The ugly border in Win10 is gone! Great! Thank you very much.
BUT:
In Win7 and Win10 you see (now? I'm not sure, if this is new...) 8 points around the cursor-symbol if you open the picture directly in the Greenshot editor. This points doesn't appear if you paste the image directly into Word or save it as PNG or JPG or use the clipboard.

I know that I could put the cursor outside the window .-)

[Lakritzator]

you do know that you can move the cursor around in the editor after taking the screenshot? These are the "grippers" which allow you to resize the cursor...

[patpowerman]

No, I didn't know that, shame on me.
Everything OK, including the option to disable 'capture mousepointer'.
Thanks again for your help!

Just so you know, the build is flawed... it could cause crashes when an old App is active... Just making a new build with a fix...

Please report future issues in our jira, we will get rid of the issues here as people don't read what we write :(
