Options

Accessed by pressing the Options tab or pressing 6.

  • Autoname - When checked saving files no longer asks for a name, it automatically generates a time stamp name and saves the file. This is mainly useful when you are capturing a lot of shots quickly while in game and you don't want to have to stop to name them. You can then go back later and name them. Note that you can also use the Expanded clipboard to temporarily store up to 8 screenshots (right click to store something, left click to recopy the stored item).
  • Autocopy File Name - When checked this will automatically copy the file name to the clipboard anytime an image is saved. This is primarily useful in saving a little time when uploading images (at least in Firefox typing part of the file name will bring up a list of files in the upload browse dialog, now you can just hit CTL + V instead of searching through the list for the file you just saved.
  • Transparent Window - Makes window see through. You can adjust the degree of transparency by opening Wiki Swiss Tool.ini with a text editor and changing the Opacity Value under the General section to a number between 0 and 255, the lower the number the more transparent the window will be.
  • Always On Top - The window will always be on top, no matter which window has the focus.
  • Display Tooltips - If unchecked, popup tool tips will not be displayed.
  • Icon Position - For users of an OS other than Windows XP, you may need to adjust the icon location if using windowed mode. This is because the window borders vary slightly from OS to OS and this causes the icon to be in a slightly different location as well. You can easily customize this location by going to the Options section, make sure Windowed Mode is checked. Capture a sample screen shot (ALT + PRT SCR) while in game. Then press the button marked "Train Icon Location." The upper right corner of the screen shot will appear, move the mouse over the image and move the red box until it is exactly covering the icon (a preview window in the lower left corner will show a zoomed view that makes it easier to line up the edges precisely.) Once the red box is exactly covering the icon, left click once. Now the icon should extract correctly whenever using windowed mode. (Whenever using full screen shots, or AC created screenshots, be sure to check Full Screen instead of Windowed).
  • Image Settings - You can specify the type, prefix, suffix, and save location for each of the three image types, icons, stats panels, and live shots. GIF support will likely be added in the next release. JPG quality can be specified (from 1 to 100%). The higher the number, the larger the file and the less compression used (fewer visible artifacts). If default path is checked, the images will be saved to the Images folder in the same location as this program. If unchecked images will be saved to the custom path you put (make sure the location is valid).

Settings File

Application settings are saved to a text editable file named Wiki Swiss Tool.ini, located in the same location as the exe. There are a number of settings you may find useful to manually edit.

Each button in the templates section is configured here, you can specify a name, back color (6 digit Hex in RGB format, see here for more info).

The path should either be a valid path to the file, for example "C:\Temp\Template.txt". Or if you store your templates in the default location, the folder named Templates located where the program is at, put the word "Default" then the name of the file. For example, "Default Template.txt".

Expanded Templates are optional and are loaded onto a single button (the Reload button on the Text tab) using a drop down menu. Selecting one will cause the Reload button to change into a button for the template selected (the first time it is chosen from the drop down menu it will automatically perform that action. Create as many additional templates as you want, just update the "NumberofExpandedTemplates" and a pair of incremented values for the new template. Note that these don't have to be just page templates, they can be for any chunk of text you use on occasion. Note that you can also use the Add Expanded Template dialog (also from the drop down menu) to add one without messing with the settings file.

Although you can reconfigure dimension buttons while in use (SHIFT + Right Click on a button), you can permanently change a dimension in the settings file. For example, if you don't like the 120 pixel height of the first button and want it to be 140 pixels high instead, in the [StatsPanelDimensions] section change 1=120 to 1=140.
