PyQt6 and QWindowCapture

[Jason Hallen]

Thanks for the suggestion, Vincent. I was able to figure out the problem.
My code was calling the QWindowCapture.capturableWindows() list before the
main PyQt window was fully shown. That's why "TESTING TESTING" wasn't on
the list. The solution was to call QWindowCapture.capturableWindows() at a
later point (within a second even) once the window was shown. Then "TESTING
TESTING" appears in the list and I can capture it.

You're correct that "TESTING TESTING" is not an identifier, but the
.description() attribute of the QCapturableWindow (which is basically the
window title) is a convenient way of finding my window.

Thanks,
Jason
