Some coding help please? (scold me if you want)

(1/1)

nkormanik:
My mind is swimming with so many options here.

Would someone please put together the code for the following?  Hopefully this request will help others as well....


-- Hit a hotkey, say PrntScrn

-- Take snap of entire single monitor

-- Save to folder:  c:\snaps\

-- Save in png format

-- Use the following date/time format for file naming:  yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss

-- Make a nice distinct audible sound so that I have confidence a screenshot was actually snapped (allow user to select some wav file, such as a camera click of choice -- my wav file is located at c:\sounds\camera.wav)

-- Stay "resident" so that I can hit PrntScrn again and again after while


End result should be:
c:\snaps\2011-08-25 16:23:37.png
c:\snaps\2011-08-25 19:04:52.png
c:\snaps\2011-08-25 21:18:01.png
c:\snaps\2011-08-26 00:48:29.png
etc...


Thanks much!

Ok most of what you want is already default what Screenshot Captor does.

Start Screenshot captor, and then here's what you would customize:

1. In options tab "General Settings", check the box marked "Start Minimized":


2. In options tab "Interface Options 1", select the "After Capture Show: Stay Minimized"


3. In options tab "Screenshot Folder and Tools", click the button to set your Screenshot Folder as "c:\snaps\"


4. In options tab "File Naming Template", in the top Default New File Name, put: %customdate%
and at bottom Custom Date Format put: %Y-%m-%d %H_%M_%S
(note you cant use : as you requested since that character should not be used in filenames so i used _)



Capture sound should be played by default (check Post-Capture Options tab), so nothing to do here.
Hotkey should already be set as you want:



Let me know if it works for you.

Wow, that was fast.

Thanks so much.

Sometimes having a Sherpa to help guide us on these mountains is greatly appreciated.
