#181 Capturing again after previous take/capture...

I am extracting notes from online books like Google Play books into my notes.

So I am taking a lot of screensnips with capture 2 text.

When I have made one snip and pasted it into my notes application and I then go and take another snip with capture 2 text... often, when I go to paste the next snip it will paste the previous snip not the most recent one...

Meaning, it didn't really take the second one... I can't seem to get around this.
Even if I take 3 snips in a row of the same text it will still paste the previous note that I snipped, it will only paste the new snip when I go through the process of pasting the previous snip again and deleting it and then retaking the new one.

Hope we can resolve this...

It is not taking a new snip everytime I use the shortcut WIN+Q

Thanks

    It can take Capture2Text several seconds to OCR such a large amount of text. Try waiting longer before attempting to paste into your notes application. A progress bar (or something similar) might be useful but is not currently implemented.

    Yes,
    a progressbar, an hourglass or an animation of the Capture2Text icon in the status bar to indicate that processing/translation is not complete would be nice. if the capture zone is large, it can take a long time, and we don't know if process is still running.
    Very Nice program, however !! Thanks a lot !
