Re: (OT) Posting of 3270 screen images


 

Hi!

This topic escalated quickly! hehe...
Well, as suggested, I tried shift + click and I was able to copy from c3270 (also from PuTTy window it allowed me to copy all window log, but is a bit more complex to get a "clean" copy).

Also, from posting images... most of the times they can be zoomed, and also, there are built-in tools such as Microsoft One Note that allows to search directly among images texts (it comes with an OCR, and as our working environment provides high-contrast images, is easy for the tool to search among the text image).

Finally, just to add my two cents, on some comercial software (quick3270, openText, etc), when copying, by default it makes it on image mode, so when you paste the text you copied it just puts an image (you can of course change this behaviour, but the default is "copy as image" :-) )

As I told, I just did it to provide context; I am a bit neurodivergent, and most of the times I cannot focus on just one thing, so my explanations tend to be incomplete and/or hard to understand. By attaching a screenshot, the reader (or viewer) can have a clear context of what's going on and have all details that I (or anyone) can miss to add on the explanation.

I think it's a good point to support a post/bug report/whatever with images, because they can add some value that a 2-page-long paper maybe can't add :-)
