Command line tools for after-capture processing

Ok, I'll let you know when I have found what I'm looking for.

Thanks for all the good work!

How does SC pass the path/filename of the captured image to an external executable?

Can you give me an example for a simple *.bat file that prints the filename of the image in the command line? I will need it to pass it on to a command line tool.

See the help file on Advanced Usage->"Using 3rd Party Tools" for more info on configuring multiple tools with SC, that you can trigger from the Tools menu.  It actually has a little tutorial there.  Try getting it to work with an image editor before you try a .bat file.

Command line tools for after-capture processing

BUT.. I'm trying to remember though if the "External Editor" which is configured a bit differently and in a different options tab, supports these commandline parameters.  I'll have to check on that and update it if not (If it doesn't, then its just going to be passing the image filename as the first paramter).

Everyone out there looking for free command line utilities.

Automatically create thumbnails from the captured screenshot: Easy Thumbnails. The command line options are displayed in the help.
The tool I use for uploading the screenshot plus the thumbnail is Rightload. Here are the Command line options.

Both tools support command line and right-click action and are very easy to setup and use.

I hope you don't mind if I bring the PM discussion to the thread?

regarding your commandline launching posts.. what do you think about me adding a memo in the options where user can specify some commandline programs to execute post capture -- that would make it easier to run a few commands after capturing, which were independent of the configured graphic image editor, etc.-mouser

Why not enable all the filter options in the memo box? Like %customdate% etc. This would make creating the parameters for command line utilities much more flexible.

For instance, I am saving my screenshots in daily subfolders, named like this: "2009-03-08" etc. I create this directory manually every day*, go into this directory within SC and it will automatically save the captured screenshots there, very intuitive.

Because of this directory structure I need some way to pass this directory name to the ftp command line utility, so that it will save the screenshot in the same subdirectory on the server (Rightload will create the directory if it doesn't exist already).

Cheers,
Stefan

*Any idea how to create a daily subfolder within the screenshot folder automatically?
