FancyBox creates screen captures?

    I have one more problem on the psri.us site and tracked it down to how FancyBox is configured. I set it to “Try to apply to all images” and it started creating screen captures of full posts when I clicked on a featured image. Since then, I changed that setting to “Try to apply to all images that link to image files” and screen capture does not happen any more.

    Is this intended behavior? If so, what is the real use and benefit? I understand that I can right click and save the full capture but under normal use it creates high level of confusion. If this is intentional, perhaps some explanatory note be added on the Lightbox Effects panel for clarification. If not intentional, we should probably consider it an “undocumented feature” aka “bug” ??

    @acekin – I have not seen what you are describing but even so, as is, we only bundle the current Lightbox libraries with NextGEN Gallery as a convenience. The options to use them with images other than the default NextGEN Gallery library images is also a convenience but not really supported specifically if there are issue.

    Can you provide an example specifically where this is happening so we can see it first-hand, there may be something obvious … or perhaps not, but I do not know how it is happening currently.

    Thanks!

    Have you tried the option I mentioned? Maybe it is the collection of other plugins all chipping in to make the magic happen. If we can arrange a time when I can change the setting so that you can see the screen capture as it happens. It can be quite useful under some controlled circumstances but not as part of regular navigation.

    Let me know a couple of short time windows I will try to make it happen for you.

    @acekin – My apologies, I am able to reproduce this effect now … and I am stumped as to why it is happening; and, it appears to be potentially a long-standing issue as I can see it now when reverting back to past releases as well?!

    We’ll have to look into this further. You may need to continue with your work-around, at least until the next release in the New Year.

    Thanks!

    Oh, I am glad that you can produce the behavior I seem to have a talent for finding the strangest problems in all the software, not only yours.

    Take care,
