Screen Shot Assistant
Another learning opportunity, I came across a situation where I needed to take several screen shots and I could not find an application that would make this easy. So what did I do? Write my own. This piece of software will monitor your clipboard for image data and once image data is placed in the clipboard (either via hitting “Print Screen” or copying an image from a browser or explorer), it will save the file to a pre-determined location that is configurable in the application. Since the software is not event driven, the software “monitors” for the data with a timer which is configurable and by default is set to check for data every 1 second.
You can change the format of the image file as well as the file name, using variables such as “<date>” and “<num>”. The image formats that are supported are as follows:
- BMP
- EMF
- EXIF
- GIF
- ICON
- JPEG
- PNG
- TIFF
- WMF
