Jing for Windows - Version 1.2.4

Posted on Wednesday July 18, 2007 by Michael Malinak

Thanks for all the amazing feedback! We're trying our best to keep up. We just released version 1.2.4. You'll be prompted to update the next time you share through Jing.

Here's the things we did for this release:

  • Correctly run on non-US formatted date systems
  • Ability to install and run on 64-bit systems (we still run in 32-bit mode)
  • Limit to a single copy of Jing running on a machine

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Jing ROCKS!

I’m an implementation consultant for electronic health records and educating end users is a constant struggle. Many of which need step by step instruction from the easy to the very complicated. Gone are the days of multiple screen shots with text.

Jing has significantly improved my ability to provide top notch support in an ever changing industry.

Thank you Jing and to all project team members! Jing is fantastic!

Thanks for the date fix. I downloaded it yesterday, and was disappointed as it constantly crashed. Being a regular Camtasia and Snagit user, I was disappointed that it wouldn't work, particularly as it's going to be great for supporting my customers.

Glad that you sorted the bug out so quickly.

I'm unable to send any jing URLs to MSN messenger chat buddies. The URL will paste fine but when I send it the recipient never sees a link.

So far Jing works fine with GTalk and Yahoo, but won't work on MSN messenger under windows or osx.

Jing works great. It will really help when supporting remote users, aka, parents.

My main question is, how much will we have to pay for hosting our images and videos? I looked through Screencast.com and didn't see a free account anywhere, just a 60 day trial.

MSN Messenger and URLs.

I have noticed that with MSN and URLs in general. What I have done in the past it just remove the http:// from the URL that I send, and the friends are able to click the link or copy and paste it into their browser.

Removing the http:// part doesn't clear up the MSN messenger problem for me. There's something about the way the URL itself is constructed that makes MSN angry.

Hopefully the devs are working on this today.

Hi, great that you've fixed this problem. I've downloaded again, but whenever i start the installer it says 'Version 1.2.3 Setup'

paul :

Ok, I finally downloaded 1.2.4
It looks like there was some caching problem.
Note that the Jing Version number is only on the main screen. I'd suggest also putting it on the Help screen aswell, for all windoze users like me.

I downloaded Jing the other day and it took 2 minutes to figure out how to capture video and screen shots. We are in the process of redesigning our company's website and I've used Jing to test the site on different computers with different browsers and used Jing to capture images of the website's pages, mark them up, and send them to the designer.

I showed Jing to the engineer who is in charge of the tech support department and he thought it would be very useful in supporting our customers.

Anyone got any ideas on how to run this thing on VISTA??

I tried to run it as "administrator" but that doesn't work either

Any Thoughts?

After contacting MSN Messenger support, here is their first response. I had these set by default, but it doesn't hurt to check them for dropped links:

  1. Sign in to Windows Live Messenger
  2. Click "Tools," and then go to "Options."
  3. Under "Security" tab, select the "Allow links in the conversation window" check box.
  4. Click "OK"

As soon as I get more information, I will post it up here.

When I capture an image it shows the arrow, text, frame and highlight tabs across the left side but no buttons across the bottom to share. What am I doing wrong? I'm using Vista.

Thanks
Carl

Is there a way to save teh video file in a format that can be used (MPEG, etc) or is posting the file to your site the only option?

Sounds great! Your blog is one of my most favorite now ;). You have hit the nail on the head, just like you always do.
