Can you elaborate and tell us a little more about what you'd like to do?

I'm trying to run an experiment and would need the program to take a snapshot of the current screen every 30 minutes if that helps a bit.

Right-click systray icon
Capture Options
Engage auto-capture timer

Set it up in
Preferences
Basic Capturing
Auto Capture Timer Options

Don't know if you can capture until "forever" - mouser would have to answer that. Or maybe try "0" and see what happens.

(For 30 minutes you need every 1800000 ms)

Thank you. I'm currently not at my desktop but will try it out once I get home.

Thank you for the clear cut instructions ayryq. The auto-timer capture function works perfectly. Much appreciated!

I'm certainly glad I could help - plus I learned something new myself.
