Contro, make sure you have the latest version of Screenshot Captor, and then tell me what you are doing to save the file that the %datetime% in the filename is not being expanded.

-mouser (November 04, 2013, 11:35 PM)

Mouser is not Screenshot Captor. Is the new program. That variable goes well in SC.
I am trying this with Save Image in Folder

Mozart-05_11_2013 , 10_14_25image.jpg

Mozart-%dd%_%MM%_%yyyy% , %hh%_%mm%_%ss%

But I don't get take off the word image....

Save Image in Folder seems to use only certain regular expressions and the help is not very appropiated for a dummy like me.

My ScreenShot Captor configuration is
Mozart-%datetime%
but the name appear to be of the new image as
Mozart-%datetime%raymond-loewys-120th-birthday-ca-fr-us-nl-uk-ie-6388231276855296-hp.jpg
so the variable %datetime% is not recognized.

How can I do that ?
all I need is the prefix Mozart-%datetime%
and save the image as png .

 


Note : the png extension is not important. Save as image I supposed logical to save in the format is in internet.

This is probably a dumb reply but.. maybe it will be of some use to you.
I setup the Gadwin Free Printscreen (www.gadwin.com/downloads  the last one is the free one) to do this for a different reason. 
I can't always use just one browser so I had to have a solution for IE and Firefox Chrome or whatever I was on. 
I was trying to create a log file to show where I got certain downloads from without having to open notepad etc.  Used another program called Clavier+ (which is harder to find - http://clavier.software.informer.com/)  VERY tiny and extremely useful hotkey utility to create the oneclick of my choice to run it. 
It has options to save only portions of a screen but the whole screenshot as a png is so tiny I just save the whole page.  In the naming options there is a place to put a time stamp formatted (%m-%d-%y %H:%M:%S)
which I stole and used for the name of the file.  I am now trying to find a way to change that stamp to use the variable holding the current website instead of date and time. 
The end result was almost exactly what I wanted but it may not be even close to what you need.  Just thought I would offer what little I have

So many people have helped me here on this site that maybe I can give some back

Nice addon find cmpm  

-mouser (November 04, 2013, 04:05 PM)

Yes mouser. I am studying now because I need to save the images in the same format I do with SC . At the present moment a new version of LinkNotes is ready. Until the moment I haven't get my dream, but now is nearer.

I use "save image in folder" add-on for Firefox.

https://addons.mozil...n-folder/?src=search

Maybe some of the options would work for you.

This one-

Performing a left double-click on an image directly saves it to the previously used folder.

And it has, as an option, auto incrementing file naming for duplicate names.
I doubt that the renaming feature is what you want.

I do like double clicking an image to save it fast.

Why not do what tomos says, right click on the image and "Save Image As.." no need for any screenshot tool at all.

-mouser (November 03, 2013, 07:14 PM)

Is it possible to do that automatically with a shortkey ?
Even if I want to assign or rename the saved image ?

Is not possible with screenshots ?

Yesterday I was manually capturing areas of the screen according to images selected from images google search

Maybe if you could say what the manual steps were that you did to capture. Was it a region capture? Or a active window?

-cmpm (November 03, 2013, 02:39 PM)

I don't know. The program "must" "know"

Is this correct? -

You do an image search on google.
You click on an image, an image preview is shown - you want a screenshot of the image preview.

Different images show different sized previews - you want the screenshot to show just the image preview with no (black) background.

Query - if that above is correct, why not just try to save the images?

-tomos (November 03, 2013, 02:51 PM)

yeahhhh. That's the point. But I want screenshots explicitily

Try with this url

https://www.google.e...4Bw&ved=0CDIQsAQ

double click in the first image. An editor open. And I have to take a screenshot of that image. Then go to the next and do the same, but I want capture that image with a hotkey or shortkey. not configuring or adjusting.


So : What is under the link ? What are the properties ? My answer is I don't know and my pretension is that the programa would be able to recognize the image and able to capture.....

Can you describe what the selection criteria for the area to capture are? Software (at least AFAIK) has no eyes, so it can't make a visual selection, but needs exact directions on what to select & capture.

-Ath (November 03, 2013, 01:38 PM)

Of course I agree with you. It's the selection screen in the image results from google. So I don't put anymore.
I think may be a code, a html code, or something similare under that images. So is the program is able to recognize will be able to recognize and capture the imagen in.

"Repeat Region Capture" ?
Set up the hotkey in preferences to whatever you want.
The sizes seem close enough to not matter.

-cmpm (November 03, 2013, 11:28 AM)

the size or the region covered by each image is not always the same according to my screenshots.
ScreenShot Captor has the possibility to capture a fix portion of the screen, but I don't see the opportunity to capture a variable portion of the screen according to additional rules.

I would like the exact capture of the entire image, but not a fixed region including that image.....

clever screenshot.

I haven't try that in my screenshot program : Screenshot Captor.
Yesterday I was manually capturing areas of the screen according to images selected from images google search ordinary in the google engine.
Three screenshots will show that the image sizes in the screen varies, but are the same "results images". so how can i capture with a simple key combination ?

Best regards

« Last post by Contro on October 24, 2013, 07:14 PM »

Contro, you're always asking for some, more or less dedicated, tool. Now you must start to get acquainted with the idea, I think, that there will be no other way than to lern a scripting language, like AHK, AI or one of the paid ones, and then script your own "tools", which might imply some 10 or 25 lines (not counting the braces, in AHK).

There is a decisive difference between cheap, bad macro tools, and the better ones (even macro tools costing 40, 50, 50 dollars are valid contenders here): The better ones (and all the scripting languages, of course) permit the analysis of what formerly you brought into the clipboard, then the script, by control-c. So wherever you are able to do such a copy of text parts (and of course the selection of text, beforehand), script languages, or the better ones of the macro tools, can check for the content, and act accordingly to this content, i.e. to elements of it, in the way of "if whole string contains abc, then do x, else if it contains bcd, then do y", and so on.

There is a lot of fun in running such little scriptlets, since you become aware you are able of "programming": It's very satisfying to see the computer do things for you, at last, instead of just using it, "manually", in a kind of "typewriter" setting, not getting out of it anything else than more erudite third parties set it up to do for you.

Then, you could publish 25 lines of script here, complaining, but it doesn't do this or that yet, and people who do such a script in 8 minutes, would be happy to guide you to the tiny element you will have overlooked.

And a last word. Many people here ain't "native (English) speakers", but we all try to learn from the native speakers' (presumed) correct English, and that's why most non-native speakers here would not write something like "Is not edit." in their 1,525th post anymore.

-peter.s (October 24, 2013, 04:20 PM)

Understood. I'll try to do better. But a programmer is a little bit work for me.
I have tried in the past. I even translated the autoit guide to spanish (not entirely) and have some friends in the autoit family. And of course many in the AHK family (more frequent in DC). But there are some hundred commands !!!!! in any language. And  i have the memory of a fly.....

Hi Contro - did you not ask this question before?

Doesnt sound to me like it would be worth the effort...

-tomos (October 22, 2013, 01:38 PM)

It would be if that top isn't blank!

-TaoPhoenix (October 22, 2013, 02:09 PM)

good point - in fact I think the query it reminded me of was to do with removing blank space in a pdf...

-tomos (October 22, 2013, 03:33 PM)

I think I have made similar questions but not this.
Is not edit.
I have searchable pdf mounted with heading or footers. Sometimes I want to remove.
Or despersonalized. Are differents, so image pdf is the starting point because the interest is remove by position or region.
