Download HyperSnap-DX 6.50.01

There are various programs for taking screenshots, the so-called ‘screen grabs’. One of the oldest programs that can do that is HyperSnap from Hyperionics, and version 6.50.01 was released on Saturday. HyperSnap can take screenshots of the entire screen, just a window or a custom area in the normal desktop environment, as well as in a DirectX, openGL and Glide environment. In addition, there is an autoscroll function with which screenshots can be taken of windows that are larger than the screen, for example of a web page. The main change in this release is support for Internet Explorer 8; the full changelog looks like this:

Changes in HyperSnap version 6.50.01:

• TextSnap feature made to work with Internet Explorer 8
• Fix for saving PNG files in 32 bits per pixel format, with transparency
• The “Blend Selection” slider on the drawing toolbar now also affects drawing commands, making them draw in translucent mode, when set in between the left and right position. For normal drawing, keep it at maximum right.
