[Archived] Feature REQUESTS 2025

Screen capture feature in the WinPE rescue environment.
This would be very helpful when interacting with the Hasleo support team to show the steps taken to reproduce a problem so they could diagnose it better.

You're absolutely right. Without relevant experience, I'm not sure if we can write a simple screen capture program.

Screen capture feature in the WinPE rescue environment.

This is easy to do yourself. Place a portable screenshot tool that works in WinPE on a separate folder on a USB flash drive and run it when necessary (not all screenshot tools can work this way!).

Concerned that there may be copyright issues.

Do you have any examples of programs that do work in WinPE ?
I tried Sysinternals ZoomIt, which just flashed up the splash screen and then closed.

I agree with you, this is a difficult question for developers, but a solution can be found for home users.
IrfanView v4.40+ x64, unzip it in 7-Zip and use it as a portable application. After deleting unnecessary files, it takes up 4 lines in Explorer. It takes all kinds of screenshots.

FREEWARE for non commercial use !

I just did some research and found that writing a simple screenshot tool isn't difficult.

I couldn't find a copy of Irfanview 4.40 to dowwnload, so I tried the latest 4.72.
It works inside the Hasleo rescue disk. I opened a Cmd prompt in Hasleo tools, navigated to the extracted Irfanview folder and launched the .exe file.
I was able to capture the Hasleo window and save it to a file. It's a bit of a faff, but at least there's a solution should the need arise, until such time as the Hasleo developers can integrate a solution natively.
Thanks for the heads-up.

Wow, thanks for going the extra effort and figuring that out! We're glad you found a way to make it work, even if it's a bit of a troublesome. Really appreciate you sharing your discovery!

Use an older version, such as ZoomIt v4.52, it works.

Here's my list to Santa:

1.  A driver-based solution that allows for image mounting from within Explorer.exe
2.  A driver-based solution that allows a default image location to be secure to prevent image tampering/image deletion
(Both 1 and 2 do not require you to buy a driver.  You write your own, then sign it with a Windows Code Signing Certificate)
3.  Delta Restore function to be the default.  It's not default currently in PEs
4.  The ability to restore more than one partition at a time using partition mode.
5.  Custom image naming parameters.  For example, Reflect allows for the following.


{BACKUPTYPE}   Whether a full differential or incremental image was performed.
{COMPRESSION} The compression level that was used during the image, whether high, medium, or none.
{AES} The AES encryption type that was used when creating the backup. This can be none, 128, 192, or 256
{WINVER}   Windows major minor and build number (X.X.XXXXX)
{PCNAME}   The PC NetBIOS name
{ISODATE} Current backup formatted date and time (YYYY-MM-DDTHH.MM.SS)
{YYYY} Year with century, as a number
{YY} Year without century, as a number (00 - 99)
{MM} Month as a number (01 - 12)
{MNAME} Full month name
{MNAMESHORT} Abbreviated month name
{WEEKNUMM} Week number (00 - 53). The 1st Monday is the 1st day of week 1
{WEEKNUMS} Week number (00 - 53). The 1st Sunday is the 1st day of week 1
{DD} Day of month as a number (01 - 31)
{WDNAME} Full weekday name
{WDNAMESHORT} Abbreviated weekday name
{WDNUMMON} Weekday as a number (1 - 7; Monday is 1)
{WDNUMSUN} Weekday as a number (0 - 6; Sunday is 0)
{HH} Hour in 24-hour format (00 - 23)
{HH12} Hour in 12-hour format (01 - 12)
{AMPM} A.M./P.M. indicator for 12-hour clock
{MIN} Minute as a number (00 - 59)
{SS} Second as a number (00 - 59)
