That's interesting π
Ah, now I get it, and that makes perfect sense :) It's probably not confusing at all; I must have misinterpreted it. My bad. ππππ
I was using version 0.5.4-alpha.2. Since I saw two available versions, I just downloaded the newest one right away.
I double-checked, and the result was the same. The fix only works when that specific feature is active; when it's off, the problem persists.
No worries π
Got it! I realize now why this 'solves' the problem for you.
So, what happens when activating the 'Still background' mode is that it renders the entire image back onto the screen, instead of just where the text exists. This disguises the misaligning problem. If I'm not missing something else, you should be able to see the background being a few pixels misaligned.
Another thing that I solved in alpha.2 is that centred text (e.g. comic text) used to have its starting X position decided by the median position of all text lines. This was added a long time ago to avoid text overflowing and disappearing due to slightly incorrect positioning occasionally for some text boxes. It is now redundant since I am now allowing text to render outside of the selected capture area. What happens now is that the entire text group selects the left-most X position. So, again, if I'm not mistaken, you should still see an improvement compared to the screenshots you uploaded a few weeks ago in another thread.
But.. we do still have a misalignment issue with Stream Friendly mode that needs to be addressed. I believe my other laptop had the same issue, so I'll look at it again before the week is over.
Thank you! βββ
"If I'm not missing something else, you should be able to see the background being a few pixels misaligned." - Yes, that is correct.
Now, the only remaining issue with Stream friendly mode on my end is that misalignment issue. Previously, the only way I could fix it was by using that "Windows scaling workaround" I mentioned, which was too cumbersome and time-consuming. Fortunately, thanks to the new feature, I can now use the Still background button to mitigate this selection issue (for manga, for instance), which makes it much less annoying. I'm really glad that feature is available!
Thanks for all your help.
Just dropped v0.5.4-alpha.3
Still background is now really only meant to be used for visual novels. It still works for comics/manga but it will add extra processing time. I will sort out any misplacement issues soon I hope, I just need to spend time to actually attempt to fix it, lol.
The issues you had with no translations being done when using Still Background should now be fixed. I had also accidentally introduced a bug with the colour detections in one of the alpha versions. It is now also fixed.
And man, no need to thank me, you're the one doing me a great service!
Okay, so Stream friendly mode is finally working with Still background for both manga and games. I'm happy with this fix. While there's a small bit of extra processing time, it's not too bad and doesn't bother me, and it now translates the text when the image changes. It may be that Stream friendly mode only avoids misalignment when I use the Still Background feature, but even so, this is a great solution. I'm totally fine with this for now.
Unfortunately, this new update has introduced two bugs:
1. Manual capture mode only functions when Still background is active. If Still background is off, selecting text does nothing and no translation occurs.
2. In Automatic capture, if I hit Pause and try to select something new, the selection box is invisible, and it won't translate until I unpause. Also, the whole "translate while paused" thing only works if Still background is active, too. If it's off, no selection box, no translation. It didn't do this before; you could always select and translate while paused.
Hey pal!
Released 0.5.4 yesterday. I definitely fixed the first bug, but I am not entirely sure if I fixed the other two issues. Either I did not fully understand how to reproduce the bug, or it's not there anymore. Could you confirm that it is gone or still there?
Thank you, as always, very much appreciated! :)
