They have screenshots covered in timers because they fail to include 'Hide' in the bind for their screenshot button

Other than making some console and high moraled pc users rage, it soils a lot of screenshots.

Look for

"bind sysrq screenshot png" in your init.txt file, and add "hide" onto the end.

Your new line will look like:

"bind sysrq screenshot png hide"

Interesting. Surprised it's not like that as default. Wrong forum for this though.

Well if users would RTFM before starting to use something, maybe they'd find out that a such option existed. Just need to check command list on windower website to find it, and it's at the very top of the page :/

For most people this ability was introduced -after- they started using it so even if they did RTFM before they started, chances are they wouldn't know.

And I don't mean updated versions because that doesn't count.

Edit: I just mean you might read a DVD player manual once but when you get a new DVD player you're not gonna read the manual again. Some people will but most won't.

Also, for a lot of people it's "when all else fails: RTFM." Most people with half a brain don't need to read the manual in detail to get something to work, so they don't since it's a waste of time. Sure we miss out on things like the hide option, but meh, think of all the time I've saved in my life by not reading manuals <_<

Yeah, I've yet to really come across something electronic I can't figure out without reading the manual. Besides, most computer related help is a *** joke and/or useless.

Even worse, when you update a software (especially something like windower), you're supposed to inform yourself by reading the damn changelog, knowing what's changed, what's been fixed and more importantly what are known issues in the version you're about to download/install/use.

Otherwise it just makes no sense to update something. Using latest software just because it's the "latest" is stupid. Sometime new version create more problems than they fix (especially with certains plugins).

Sorry I missed this reply so doing it now.

People don't always upgrade, they might have installed on a new PC/format/install and just got the latest version. People trust the website they are downloading from. People don't care about the changes as long as it does the basics of what they want it to do. People don't read something they are familiar with until they encounter a problem. People don't learn by reading they learn by trial and error. People only want it to window FFXI and don't care about plugins.

There are heaps of reasons why people don't read update logs and you are under no obligation to do so. However, you are taking on any risks associated with the software and people understand that. Most people just don't care. It's not stupid, they just feel that they have better things to do. Stop being such an elitist.
