    HI
    Thanks for this very versatile screen ruler, it's a great utility.
    An additional feature that would greatly enhance it from our perspective would be the ability to invoke it positioned at a particular window and save the coordinates of a selected position - Ideally, for our use case the window handle of the target window as a calling parameter would be great, we could then call it without having to use the Z option to select the required window.
    e.g something like "c:\ruler\screenruler.exe -H26425" would start an instance with the ruler positioned around the window with the given handle. Maybe a second parameter could be used to identify a text file to save clicked positions in ? e.g. "c:\ruler\screenruler.exe -H26425 -Sc:\somelocation\myCoords.txt" meaning each click would result in c:\somelocation\myCoords.txt having a new row added containing x,y values ?

    What do you think?

    Best regards and many thanks for your consideration.

    Hi,

    thanks for the suggestion and sorry for the delayed answer. What you describe makes sense to me, so I I'll try to consider this with a coming feature update.

    Regards

    Hi again, there now is a basic implementation of the feature you requested in v.0.9 of Screen Ruler. You can start the app with screenruler.exe --hwnd 12345 to start the ruler positioned around the window with the given handle. Alternatively, matching via the window title is possible (screenruler.exe --title "Title").

    Hope this helps!
