Steam how to make screenshots while in game

Saturday, February 9th, 2013

If you're a steam addict looking for a way to make screenshots while in game and use pictures later. You will be happy to know since Nov 2011 Steam gaming platform (Interface) has support for making any game screenshot. Default key binded in steam to make screenshots is F12 (though you can easily change that from Steam Options). Pressing F12 will make screenshot of current game screen and import it to Steam's Screenshot Manager.  By default Steam Manager stores captured screenshots in a Cloud Server Storage which is 1GB.

Once you have the picture stored to access Steam Screenshot Manager follow to:

My Profile > My Screenshots > Upload Screen shots

Other way to access Steam Screenshot Manager is;

By Right click your Steam icon in your taskbar and choose Screenshots or
if you right click on Steam on particular game, you get menu "view screenshots"

Steam Screenshot Manager had a nice feature – upload pictures to Facebook, Twitter and Reddit.

How to solve “djvu decoder cannot decode djvu files with version >=25” DJVU files opening error

Saturday, February 9th, 2013

If you happen to be running DJVU Solo version 3.1 and you have some documents saved with DJVU Mozilla Firefox browser plugin you might end up with an error:

"djvu decoder cannot decode djvu files with version >=25"
 

The error is well known and described on djvu solo's website. Though the reason is explained and a work around in future files downloaded via the DJVU browser plugin is suggested. The page doesn't suggest a way on how to open already downloaded .djvu files failing to via DJVU Solo.

Thanksfully there is a fix, get away from DJVU Solo and start using STDUViewer – 🙂
