Description:
A utility to create automatic screenshots. Multiple monitors supported.
I created this program to help me go back through my day to see what all I worked on.
This is freeware. No reverse-engineering or anything like that. Use at your own risk.
One known issue - it does not handle the larger Windows 8 DPI settings very well. That will be the next thing I tackle whenever I get back around to working on the program.
WARNING:
This is not intended to capture someone's screen without their knowledge.
I will not change it to hide the system tray icon nor the process in Task Manager.
How To:
Settings Screen
| Prefix | File name prefix |
| Suffix | File name suffix, including timestamp; currently this is not editable |
| Folder | Folder in which to save the screenshots |
| Compression | Percent to which to compress the image files |
| A lower number creates smaller files; a higher number is higher quality | |
| 20 percent is the lowest suggested value that is still readable | |
| Capture | Amount of time between screenshots |
| Stop | Amount of time between reminders if the auto capture is stopped |
| Snooze | Snooze the capture and stop warnings |
| Set | Press to save and apply the settings |
| Start | Start or stop the auto capture |
| Minimize | Minimize the window to the system tray |
| Exit | Close the capture program |
| System Tray | |
| Double-click | Create a screenshot right now |
| Right-click | Settings | Open the settings window |
| Right-click | Start | Start or stop the auto capture |
| Right-click | Capture | Create a screenshow right now |
| Right-click | Snooze | Snooze for duration of selected time |
| Right-click | Exit | Close the program |
Notes:
If you stop the auto capture but do not fully exit the program, the settings window will pop up
after the interval specified in the Stop Reminder Interval. This is designed so you do not forget
to turn on the auto capture if you needed to stop it for a period of time but don't use snooze.
