Screenshot aliases using MiniCap

(1/8) > >>

TucknDar:
mouser's excellent Screenshot Captor does pretty much everything you need for screenshot capturing (and more) but isn't exactly a tiny lightweight app. But it's baby brother MiniCap is a command line based screenshot capture app. This makes it ideal for the quick screenshot capturing tasks, and also ideal for FARR aliases!

You'll find MiniCap here: https://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/MiniCap/index.html

I've put together a package that includes some aliases as well as a fresh build of MiniCap itself. These aliases should cover a range of screenshot options but adding or editing should be easy enough.

to install this you would put the minicap directory in your FindAndRunRobot\AliasGroups\Installed directory.  That alias subdirectory is marked as Read-only from within FARR so that it can be easily updated.-mouser

To use, type 'mcap' which will present you with the following commands
CommandDescriptionScreen captureCaptures current screenLast active window captureCaptures the last active window (i.e. active before launching FARR ;) )Select region captureInteractive capture of region (traditional style mode -- locked to current screen of multimonitor)Object captureInteractive capture of object (red box mode)Red box region captureInteractive capture of region (red box mode)Capture to clipboardCopy the interactively selected image to clipboardBorder shadow captureAdd a nice border and shadow to interactively selected imageDC Review captureAutosaves to "%MYDOCUMENTS%\reviews\$appname$\$windowtitle$_$uniquenum$.png"

Thanks goes to mouser for both a lot of help and suggestions while making the aliases and for updating MiniCap and adding several new features. Looking at several other aliases was also very helpful, so if you've released a pack of aliases I've probably looked at it in awe ;)

Latest version, 1.3, can be downloaded from my dcmembers webspace!

really great.. I'll bet at lot of people find this useful.

here's a cool thing you could do -- for the items that auto capture into a directory, you could add the command to browse that directory onto the alias result.  you would do it by adding something like ";;; restartsearch %MYDOCUMENTS%\crashinfo\" to the alias result before the icon.

Another note to users, to install this you would put the minicap directory in your FindAndRunRobot\AliasGroups\Installed directory.  That alias subdirectory is marked as Read-only from within FARR so that it can be easily updated.

If you wanted to customize some of the results, you could instead put it in your FindAndRunRobot\AliasGroups\MyCustom directory, which makes it editable from within FARR.

Yes, that's true, I actually put that in a readme within the archive, but forgot to write it here. Thanks :)
