I should point out that Alt-Print Screen is nothing more than a convenience. And optional feature, if you will. It has no bearing on the core functionality of Virtual View. We just thought it'd be a nice addition. The core functionality of Virtual View involves launching Virtual View, and either selecting a window or file to virtualize. That hasn't changed, except for the addition of being able to select files instead of windows. The only reason we piggy-backed on Alt-Print Screen is because, as Tom mentioned, it's an operating system hotkey that generates an image. Why not, then, offer the ability to OCR that image what with the new OCR functionality. Again, Alt-Print Screen has nothing to do with whether or not Virtual View works. Alt-Print screen is just so you can OCR the active window easily. It's a convenience thing.
